Measuring customer satisfaction is a key task for hotels today. Analyzing online reviews of experienced guests will help the managers to know if guests are satisfied or dissatisfied with the service that they provided. Hence, they have solutions to improve service quality. This study presents a method to measure guest satisfaction based on sentiment lexicon that is developed for hospitality domain to increase the accuracy of the analysis results. Actual data is downloaded from TripAdvisor with 35 four-star to five-star hotels of five cities in Vietnam to analyze guest satisfaction that shows that nearly 80% of customers are satisfied with the quality of Vietnamese hotels. Based on data analysis, the study also evaluating guest loyalty through phrases like “came here several,” “come back,” “recommend,” etc. This rate corresponds to the number that was reported by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.

The purpose of this study was to find out the differences between male and female Chinese Wushu athletes, in line with Taolu and Sanshou contents due to the correlation of their personality and achievement motivation as the nature of Games. By using the 16-personality factor questionnaire (16PF) and individual difference in achieving tendency questionnaire (IDIAT), the results of this study indicated that the difference between male and female Chinese Wushu athletes on the correlation of personality traits and achievement motivation had a minor gap (in both Sanshou and Taolu). While the difference between Sanshou and Taolu focused on the Reasoning to achieve success in females and the Sensitivity to achieve success in males. Further studies need to clarify the impact of reasoning and sensitivity personality on different groups of participants (i.e., amateur, semi-professional, long-term practitioners). Therefore, it senses better evaluate the effect of achievement-motivation in desired success and limit the failure in Wushu.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the role of stakeholders and their relationships in the sustainability of telecentres in Vietnam through the lens of stakeholder theory. Design/methodology/approach This study methodologically adopted a qualitative case study to identify stakeholders that have been involved in telecentres in Vietnam. It then categorizes those stakeholders’ salience through the lens of stakeholder identification and salience theory. Secondary data and interviews were used as data sources for the present paper. Findings The authors identify six main stakeholders that have been involved in telecentres, including the government, entrepreneurs, international donors, telecommunications providers, civil society organisations and individual community members/users. Among these stakeholders, the government, entrepreneurs and users belong to definitive stakeholders, which have the greatest impact on the sustainability of telecentres in comparison to other groups of stakeholders (e.g. dominant, dependent and dormant stakeholders). Moreover, the authors propose a model to identify the relationships of stakeholders towards the sustainability of telecentres. In particular, the authors indicate that each group of stakeholders has its own role in contributing to sustainable telecentres and they also influence others in either direct or indirect ways. Originality/value This study provides an additional approach for managers to make judgments in prioritizing the interests of some of their stakeholders while still maintaining a level of satisfaction among other stakeholders. For example, stakeholders that should be of the highest concern to the sustainability of telecentres are the government, entrepreneurs and users, while civil society organisations can be maintained in lower priority to other stakeholders. In addition, we propose the model of interactions and relationships of stakeholders, which can be seen as a starting point for a study on the roles of stakeholders in sustainability not only in telecentres, but also in other fields, such as digital transformation, cyber security and e-government.
