This paper aims to develop a conceptual framework for evaluating the impact of motivational factors on the work results of lecturers at Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU), one of two leading multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral national universities in Vietnam. This study has considered wages and other benefits (WB), training and development (TD), working environment (WE) and working motivation (WM) as motivational factors, and proposed a structural model of the impact of motivational factors on the work results of lecturers at VNU. The empirical analysis used data from the survey data of 321 university lecturers. Comprehensive, valid, and reliable tools (SPSS 26 and SmartPLS 3.0 software) are used to evaluate rigorous statistical tests including convergence validity, discriminatory validity, reliability, and average variance extracted to analyze and verify the gathered data, and the hypotheses developed. The result of path analysis shows that four motivational factors constitute a structured system with different degrees of influence on the work results of lecturers. There is also a positive relationship between the motivational factors and the work results of lecturers. As a result, it can be concluded that all hypotheses developed are supported. Several recommendations are further suggested to improve the performance of lecturers at VNU.
AIP Foundation’s Walk This Way program in Vietnam has the goal to create environments in which children can walk safely, and decrease the number of child pedestrian injuries and fatalities through education, awareness and advocacy, but also by intervening in environments and infrastructure surrounding schools to make sidewalks and roads safer to navigate. With the construction of Ho Chi Minh City’s (Vietnam’s largest city) first Bus Rapid Transit underway, this intervention at 37 schools along its corridor responds to the expected transformation of traffic conditions and its associated risk to child pedestrian safety near schools.In the baseline survey of 5291 students uncovered knowledge, attitudes and reported practices related to road rules and travel to and from school. Also, video observations were undertaken of pedestrian sidewalk and crosswalk use.Knowledge of road rules and safe pedestrian behaviors was moderate, but varied widely. 22.8% of students said they had been hit by a vehicle while walking in the last six months; 10.2% occurred near the school and 76.4% by a motorbike. At 14 of the 37 schools there was no sidewalk available for pedestrians and in many cases, these were encroached upon by vehicles and other obstructions. Most schools had ‘Children Ahead’ signs posted on nearby main roads but none had school zone signage. 33 had zebra crossings nearby, 20 had traffic lights, but none had traffic calming devices such as flashing lights or rumble strips. Unsafe crosswalk and sidewalk practices observed outweighed correct practice.The study revealed that the problem was more than just an issue of knowledge and attitudes, but also environments and infrastructure around the schools. The first phase education component of the program began in late 2017 and will complete in early 2018. Subsequent phases which involve environmental and infrastructural interventions will begin in 2018.
