Factors affecting employee performance in the business recovery process at listed banks in Vietnam

Purpose: In recent years, many disruptions have occurred in the Vietnamese economy, which has caused listed banks to suffer many consequences, so listed banks must recognize the factors that promote recovery. Although studies on this issue have been conducted, the amount is quite limited and there is little focus on human resource factors. This empirical study was conducted to demonstrate the factors that affect employee performance and its impact on the recovery of business operations of listed banks. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, the author used questionnaires to collect data from 850 listed bank employees between 15th August 2023 and 26th December 2023. This study developed a questionnaire that used measures from many previous empirical studies to build a model to measure the impact of human resources on a company's ability to recover performance, using a five-point Likert-style scale (from 1 level equals to totally disagree; to 5 level equals to totally agree). After collecting data, this study used the SPL Smart application, to find the relationship between the role of human resources and the ability to recover business performance. From that analysis, the author will provide an objective perspective on the role of human resources in promoting the recovery performance of listed banks in Vietnam. Findings: Research results show that performance appraisal variables positively impact employee performance. On the other hand, career development and training and development do not affect employee performance. Finally, the analysis shows that there is a positive relationship between employee performance and business recovery at listed banks. Research limitations/implications: This study shows that human resources play a very important role in the recov-ery process of Vietnamese listed banks. Learning about the factors that influence employee performance will help banks align their HR strategies with organizational goals, ensuring that the workforce has the right skills and com-petencies necessary force. This process will help listed banks in Vietnam increase their ability to recover from disruptions and enhance their competitiveness. However, this study still has limitations including sample size and number of independent variables not large enough to show the importance of human resources in the recovery process of listed banks in Vietnam. Originality/value: This study contributes to emphasizing that human resources play an important key in the recov-ery process for Vietnamese listed banks. From an objective perspective, it provides insights into the role of human resources and factors to improve employee performance in listed banks.
