Applying Institutional Theory to Environmental Auditing: Empirical Evidence from Industrial Parks in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam
This paper explores how environmental auditing contributes to sustainable industrial transformation in Vietnam, focusing on institutional change within industrial parks in Phu Tho Province. 1) Introduction with rationale: This study examines how environmental auditing shapes governance and sustainability performance in industrial parks in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam, addressing the practical need to align provincial industrial growth with international Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) standards through an Institutional Theory lens. 2) Objectives: It clarifies why environmental auditing matters in developing contexts by specifying the policy and implementation gaps it can close-compliance deficits, weak coordination, and slow diffusion of EIP practices. 3) Methodology: A qualitative case study synthesizes documentary evidence and stakeholder insights from two state-led audits (2021, 2025), evaluating four dimensions (management, environmental, social, economic). 4) Results and Discussion: Auditing functions as both a coercive compliance instrument and a catalyst of institutional change: coercive pressures strengthened enforcement; normative pressures fostered inter-agency collaboration and stakeholder engagement; mimetic pressures accelerated convergence with international EIP practices. However, persistent weaknesses remain in transparency, infrastructure provisioning, and the internalization of sustainability values. 5) Conclusions: Environmental auditing can drive institutional transformation where regulatory capacity and coordination are uneven, offering actionable policy levers to integrate auditing with sustainable industrial governance and to operationalize EIP frameworks in similar developing regions
How Do Accounting Information Systems Shape Firm Performance in Small and Medium Enterprises in Transition Economy?
Accounting information systems play a critical role in providing timely and reliable information to support managerial decision-making and control. This study investigates how the components of accounting information systems: people, procedures, software, data, information technology (IT) infrastructure, and internal control influence the non-financial performance of Vietnamese small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The sample data are 208 valid respondents from SMEs through a structured survey. The measurement quality test reveals that, the data and software components are integrated into a single construct, referred to as database in the digital transformation context. The regression analysis indicates that the five AIS components exert positive effects on the non-financial performance of SMEs. Database demonstrates the strongest influence, followed by IT infrastructure and internal controls. These findings contribute to the literature in transition economies by highlighting the predominance of technological resources over human-related factors, which contrasts with some prior studies. From a practical perspective, the results suggest that SMEs should prioritize investments in database management, software systems, and IT infrastructure, alongside the development of appropriate internal control mechanisms, to enhance non-financial performance across customer, internal process, and learning dimensions

The Effects of Podcasts on Thai Undergraduates’ English Listening Skills
The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of podcasts on students’ English listening skills, students’ perceptions towards using podcasts in English language classrooms, and the level of student satisfaction regarding the podcasts provided in this study. This study employed a survey and a one-group pre-test–post-test design involving 29 English major students enrolled during the second semester of the 2024 academic year at a university located in Songkhla province. An outlier detected in the pretest led to the exclusion of one participant’s data, resulting in an analysis based on 28 students. The findings demonstrated that the students could understand and assimilate the main ideas of the content after listening to the podcasts, as the post-test scores were statistically significantly greater than the pre-test scores. The results indicated that students were able to enhance their understanding and grasp of the main concepts of the listening material through podcasts. Furthermore, the participants conveyed positive attitudes about using the podcast to enhance their listening skills. Many of them found listening to podcasts was difficult; they believed it helped them learn English. Participants also expressed great satisfaction with the podcasts used in this study. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of how digital media influences language learning attitudes and support integrating podcasts into English as a foreign language curricula, offering a practical, engaging, and accessible method to enhance listening skills.
