FACTORS INFLUENCING LOGISTICS-MAJOR GRADUATES’ INTENTION TO PURSUE LOGISTICS PROFESSION
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Logistics is currently a rapidly growing service industry in Vietnam, offering opportunities for both economic growth and domestic enterprises. But there is still a significant gap between this demand and the desire of logistics graduates to pursue a career in logistics. By combining three theoretical frameworks: Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Theory of Personality Traits (TPT) and Triple Helix model (THM), this study is conducted to identify factors influencing logistics-major graduates’ intention to pursue the logistics profession. The paper identifies challenges such as the quality of training and training programs for logistics human resources that are not really linked to the practical operations of logistics, lack of practical experience and stress at work. The paper also provides feasible recommendations for universities, employers and policy makers to close this gapp.By addressing these factors, Vietnam can nurture its workforce to sustain the growth and competitiveness of its logistics industry.
