Abstract

In recent years, there has been numerous research on the factors influencing the quality of human resources; the links between the quality of human resources, labor productivity, and production and business efficiency. However, research on the relationships between traditional culture, professional ethics, and the organizational efficiency of businesses have not received sufficient attention, particularly concerning the role of professional ethics in these linkages. This is a complex problem for corporate managers and scholars to solve. Utilizing a Structural Equation Model, the study surveyed 385 employees of businesses in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta and analyzed their responses. Research findings show a positive linear correlation between professional ethics and business organizational effectiveness. Personal morality, Honors, Stability and Development, Equality and justice, Solidarity and Collective, and Relationship Harmony influence professional ethics.
