Dang Thanh Tuan — 2026-01-02

In this study, a unique web platform was designed, built and piloted to digitize
the operations of traditional markets, with the typical case of Ba Hoa market in Ho Chi
Minh City. The study identified the main problems of the traditional market ecosystem
through on-site observations and in-depth interviews. From there, the system was designed
to be able to manage stalls, orders, electronic payments, quality monitoring and an easy-touse interface for the elderly. To ensure the availability and acceptance of traders, the
implementation process used a modified Agile model and was field-tested. The pilot results
showed that the platform improved transparency, supported traders to reach customers
more effectively and increased the management efficiency of the Market Management
Board. The study provides a feasible experimental model for digital transformation of
traditional markets in Vietnam and provides advice for expanding and developing this
model sustainably. In addition, the study also analyzes the socio-economic impact of the
digital market model on small traders, including: the ability to expand the market, reduce
operating costs, limit revenue loss, and increase customer access efficiency.

Study on optimal wedge angle in surface plastic deformation of flat metal sheets

Nguyen Van Tu — 2026-01-02

In the material manufacturing industry, the study of optimal material processing
methods is always a top priority. Using 3D design software (SolidWorks 2019) and
computational simulation tools (ANSYS Workbench 19.2), a model of the surface
hardening process for a cylindrical workpiece using flat tools was developed to calculate
and evaluate the stress–strain state (SSS) of the workpiece in the deformation zone, as well
as the residual stresses in the finished part. Based on the analysis of finite element
simulation results, a reasonable value of the wedge angle of the flat tool was determined to
be 45°. At this angle, the maximum transient stress during the hardening process is lower
than the material’s yield strength, thereby ensuring that the hardening does not cause
surface damage to the workpiece, while also achieving a uniform distribution of residual
stresses on the surface.

Factors affecting cash holdings of non-financial firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh City stock exchange (HoSE): A Python-based approach

Dao Le Kieu Oanh — 2026-01-02

In the context of an increasingly volatile economy, cash flow management has
become critically important for businesses. This study focuses on analyzing both
macroeconomic and microeconomic factors that influence the cash holding ratio of 351
non-financial firms listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HoSE) during the period
2015–2023. Employing the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) model using
Python software, the findings indicate that the variables NWC (Net Working Capital), CF
(Cash Flow), LEV (Leverage), and ROA (Return on Assets) exhibit a positive relationship
with the cash holding ratio. In contrast, SIZE (Firm Size), FIC (Financial Constraints), and
INF (Inflation) show a negative relationship. Although FIC demonstrates a negative effect,
it is not statistically significant in the model. This study not only elucidates how firms adjust
their cash holdings in times of economic uncertainty but also proposes flexible and effective
cash management strategies to support business adaptation and sustainable development.

This systematic literature review examines how Carbon Credit Accounting
(CCA) frameworks have been implemented in higher education institutions (HEIs), which
are increasingly seen as key actors in decarbonization. Using the PRISMA 2020 protocol,
the study analyzes 215 peer-reviewed papers (2000–2025) sourced from Scopus and Web
of Science, with citation mapping conducted via VOSviewer. A composite relevance
scoring system was developed to select 50 high-impact studies, based on methodological
rigor, alignment with sustainability standards, and the strength of educational contributions
linked to sustainability outcomes. The findings identify five major research themes: (1)
measurement methods, (2) sustainable development, (3) input–output analysis, (4) digital
innovation, and (5) ecological integration. The review shows a shift from simply
calculating campus carbon footprints toward more strategic university sustainability
management, emphasizing net-zero goals, Scope 3 emissions, and internal carbon pricing.
The study contributes theoretically by proposing a clear, replicable evaluation framework
for assessing CCA research, and practically by offering benchmarks to help university
leaders align sustainability strategies with global carbon certification frameworks. Future
research is encouraged to use full-text semantic analysis, longitudinal validation, and
deeper stakeholder collaboration to strengthen both educational and governance practices
for carbon offsetting and derivative mechanisms.

Cap Thi Bich — 2026-01-02

In the context of increasing pressure on organizations to achieve environmental
protection, social responsibility, and long-term economic performance, employees’ green
capability has emerged as a critical determinant of organizational sustainability outcomes.
This study examines the relationship between green human resource management,
employees’ green capability, and organizational sustainability performance from a
resource-based perspective. Grounded in the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Human
Capital Theory (HCT), the study proposes a theoretical model in which employees’ green
capability serves as a mediating mechanism linking green human resource management to
environmental, social, and long-term economic performance. By synthesizing recent
empirical studies, the paper highlights the strategic role of green capability as an intangible
resource that is valuable, rare, and difficult to imitate, thereby contributing to sustainable
competitive advantage. The findings extend the theoretical understanding of green human
resource management and offer practical implications for organizations seeking to enhance
sustainability through human capital development.

Applying the extended Technology Acceptance Model to investigate digital platform adoption by micro-retailers

Vo Thi Hong Hanh — 2026-01-02

This study aims to identify the determinants of digital platform usage intention
among micro-retailers in Ho Chi Minh City’s traditional markets, utilizing the extended
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data collected from 149 vendors across three
representative markets were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation
Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that Institutional Support (IS) and Perceived
Ease of Use (PEOU) exert a strong and statistically significant influence on Behavioral
Intention (BI). Conversely, Perceived Usefulness (PU), Financial Barriers (FC), Digital
Literacy (DL), and Cultural Attachment (CA) do not demonstrate a direct impact on BI.
Furthermore, PEOU plays a critical mediating role, significantly affecting PU. These
results underscore the pivotal role of supportive policies, hands-on guidance, and userfriendly interface design in fostering digital transformation within traditional markets. This
study contributes to the literature by extending the TAM framework within the context of
Vietnamese traditional markets and offering practical implications for local authorities and
market management boards.

Nguyen Tan Trong — 2026-01-02

In the context of rapid digital transformation within the telecommunications
industry, employee innovative behavior has become a critical factor enabling enterprises to
maintain competitiveness and adapt to technological change. This study proposes a
theoretical model explaining how transformational leadership influences employee
innovative behavior through four mediating mechanisms: psychological empowerment,
intrinsic motivation, creative process engagement, and organizational innovation. Based on
a synthesis of existing theories and empirical evidence across various telecommunications
settings, the model demonstrates that transformational leadership exerts not only direct
effects but also indirect impacts through employees’ psychological and behavioral
pathways. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of leadership in the
digital transformation era and offer practical implications for telecommunications
enterprises in fostering an innovative workforce

The impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives on employee relations in multinational and local companies in Vietnam: The mediating roles of leadership support and organizational culture

Cong Huu Tu — 2026-01-02

This study explores the impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
initiatives on employee relations within the context of multinational corporations (MNCs)
and local companies in Vietnam. Drawing on Social Exchange Theory (SET), the research
investigates the direct effect of DEI initiatives on employee relations, as well as the
mediating roles of leadership support and organizational culture. A comparative analysis
between MNCs and local firms is conducted to understand how organizational type
moderates these relationships. Using data from 350 employees across various industries
and employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the results show that DEI initiatives
significantly improve employee relations, particularly in fostering trust, collaboration, and job satisfaction. Leadership support and organizational culture are found to be critical
mediators, amplifying the positive effects of DEI programs. Additionally, the moderating
analysis reveals that the impact of DEI initiatives is stronger in MNCs than in local
companies, suggesting that MNCs benefit from structured global DEI frameworks. The
findings provide theoretical and practical contributions by highlighting the importance of
leadership and culture in DEI implementation and offering recommendations for both
MNCs and local firms in emerging markets like Vietnam.
