Summary

This video is a recording of a research presentation and community discussion as part of the ‘Cầu Nối Tri Thức 2026’ program, organized by the SocialLife Institute. The research team from the National Economics University, led by Dr. Dương Thùy Linh, presents their study on factors influencing entrepreneurial intention among people who have completed their prison sentences in Vietnam. The presentation covers the research rationale, theoretical framework combining the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), and a mixed-methods approach. Qualitative interviews with 20 ex-prisoners revealed factors such as attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy, and environmental factors, including new insights like the role of fellow inmates and mentors. Quantitative analysis of 254 survey responses using PLS-SEM showed that all TPB components significantly predict entrepreneurial intention, with subjective norms having the strongest effect. Self-efficacy moderates the effects of attitude and subjective norms. The model explains 73.9% of variance in entrepreneurial intention. The study highlights the importance of social support and institutional environment in fostering entrepreneurship among this vulnerable group, and offers policy recommendations.

Critical Evaluation

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The value of the information is high for its focus on a marginalized and under-researched population. The study provides empirical evidence on the entrepreneurial intentions of ex-prisoners in Vietnam, a topic with limited prior research. The argumentation is solid, grounded in established theories (TPB, SCT) and supported by both qualitative and quantitative data. The researchers transparently discuss limitations, such as the difficulty of accessing the population and the potential for self-selection bias. The findings are presented with appropriate statistical rigor, including bootstrapping and model fit indices. The discussion connects results to the Vietnamese cultural context, emphasizing the role of subjective norms and community support.

Scientific Rigor, Source Quality, Title Accuracy

The scientific rigor is evident in the use of a mixed-methods design, with qualitative interviews informing the development of the survey instrument. The quantitative analysis follows standard procedures for PLS-SEM, including assessment of measurement and structural models. The sources cited are primarily academic theories (TPB, SCT) and prior studies, though specific references are not explicitly listed in the video. The title accurately reflects the content, focusing on factors influencing entrepreneurial intention among ex-prisoners. The presentation is part of a program aimed at bridging research and practice, and the discussion includes feedback from experts, enhancing the credibility of the work. However, the study is presented as a work-in-progress, and the sample is limited to Facebook users, which may affect generalizability.

Quality & Reliability

7/10

The presentation is based on a mixed-methods study with a solid theoretical framework (TPB, SCT) and rigorous quantitative analysis (PLS-SEM, bootstrapping). However, the sample is self-selected via Facebook groups, and the study is presented as a work-in-progress, with limited external validation.

Key Moments

Cited Sources

  • Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) — Used as the primary theoretical framework for the study.
  • Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) — Integrated with TPB to include self-efficacy as a key construct.

Concurring Sources

  • Ajzen, I. (1991). The theory of planned behavior — The TPB framework is widely validated in entrepreneurship research.
  • Bandura, A. (1986). Social foundations of thought and action — SCT provides the basis for self-efficacy as a determinant of behavior.

Dissenting Sources

  • Potential bias in self-reported data — The reliance on self-reported intentions and the self-selected sample via Facebook groups may introduce social desirability bias and limit generalizability.

Contribution & Novelties

The study contributes to the limited literature on entrepreneurship among ex-prisoners in Vietnam, a vulnerable and stigmatized group. It extends the TPB model by incorporating environmental factors and self-efficacy, and identifies unique social influences such as fellow inmates and mentors. The mixed-methods approach provides rich insights into the psychological and social mechanisms underlying entrepreneurial intention. The findings have practical implications for policy and support programs aimed at reintegration.
