Research Results of Factors Affecting the Implementation of Management Accounting to Evaluate Operational Efficiency in Travel Enterprises


(if any), therefore, there are differences in the number and names of the types of Reports. For example, for the Financial Performance Report (some enterprises prepare Financial Performance Reports in the form of Profit and Loss Report (Appendix 10), Profit and Loss Analysis Table (Appendix 11); Report on revenue structure by product, field (Appendix 12); Report on the company's comprehensive travel business performance in the year N/N-1 (Appendix No. 13); For the Customer Performance Report, 100% of the surveyed enterprises prepare a Basic Business Performance Report (Appendix 14) because this is a requirement of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, General Department of Tourism; Customer Performance Report (Appendix 15); For large enterprises such as Ben Thanh Tourist, or Vietravel, information on the enterprise's performance is also shown in the Annual Report (Appendix No. 16a, 16b).

The results of a large-scale survey show that there are differences in the form of providing information on business performance between businesses of different sizes: 100% of large travel businesses prepare Annual Reports, Business Performance Reports, Comprehensive Travel Business Performance Reports, 85.71% prepare Customer Performance Reports; Meanwhile, 81.77% of SMEs prepare Business Performance Reports, 86.19% of SMEs prepare Comprehensive Travel Business Performance Reports, 69.06% of SMEs prepare Customer Performance Reports; And, the common point is that no travel business prepares separate Performance Reports on aspects of internal business process innovation, learning & development, and business responsibility to the community (Appendix 06).

To better understand the current situation of using various types of Business Performance Reports, the researcher continued to use the in-depth interview method (calling business managers). The interview results showed that business managers only required accountants to provide information on Business Performance of financial and customer aspects in the form of paper reports - this result is consistent with the results of the generalized survey (Appendix 06); There is no requirement to prepare detailed Business Performance Reports for each aspect (Internal Business Processes; Learning & Development; Business Responsibility to the Local Community), but only to provide information on results in end-of-term meetings (ie Quick Reports/Direct Oral Reports); Particularly for large enterprises listed on the stock exchange, information on non-financial Business Performance is presented in a part of the Annual Report (Appendix 16b).

3.3.1. Assessment of scale reliability

The reliability of the scales in this study was assessed through the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient in the data processing results from SPSS software (Appendix 17), specifically:

- Reliability of the QM factor - Enterprise size: The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the QM variable is 0.780, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficient of the observed variables QM 1,2,3 is 0.606; 0.636 and 0.614 respectively, all >0.3. The values ​​in the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all <0.780. Therefore, the scales meet the criteria.


standard, good quality guaranteed

- Reliability of the NT factor - Senior managers' perception of the usefulness of KTQT in evaluating HRD: The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the NT variable is 0.751, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficients of the observed variables NT 1,2,3,4 are 0.700; 0.556; 0.555 and 0.386 respectively, all >0.3. The values ​​in the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all <0.751 (excluding the value of the observed variable NT4). The observed variable NT4 has a Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted coefficient = 0.772, which is larger than the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the group, which is 0.751. However, the total item correlation coefficient of variable NT4 is 0.386 > 0.3 and the Cronbach's Alpha of the group is above 0.6, even greater than 0.7. Therefore, there is no need to remove variable NT4 in this case, the scale still meets the standard, ensuring good quality.

- Reliability of factor CC – Commitment of senior managers: Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of variable CC is 0.810, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficient of observed variables CC1,2,3 is 0.633; 0.691 and 0.660 respectively, all >0.3. The values ​​in the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all <0.810. Therefore, the scales meet the standards, ensuring good quality.

- Reliability of the CL factor - Business strategy: Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the CL variable is 0.808, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficient of the observed variables CL1,2,3,4 is 0.623; 0.622; 0.627 and 0.631 respectively, all >0.3. The values ​​in the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all <0.808. Therefore, the scales meet the standards, ensuring good quality.

- Reliability of the VH factor - Corporate Culture: Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the VH variable is 0.809, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficient of the observed variables VH1,2,3,4,5,6 is 0.682; 0.291; 0.635; 0.643; 0.621; and 0.633, respectively. Thus, all

The total correlation coefficients of the observed variables are all >0.3, except for the observed variable VH2 (0.291 <0.3), so the VH2 scale does not ensure quality and needs to be eliminated.

The results of the second test to test the reliability of the remaining scales of the VH factor are as follows: The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the VH variable is 0.849, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficient of the observed variables VH1,3,4,5,6 are 0.688; 0.652; 0.651; 0.641; and 0.675, respectively, all >0.3. The values ​​in the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all <0.849. Therefore, the scales (VH1,3,4,5,6) meet the standards, ensuring good quality.

- Reliability of TDKT factor - Qualification of accounting staff: Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of TDKT variable is 0.840, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficient of observed variables TDKT 1,2,3,4,5 are respectively 0.632; 0.630; 0.656; 0.644 and 0.661, all >0.3. The values ​​in the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all


< 0.840. Therefore, the scales meet the standards, ensuring good quality.

- Reliability of IT factor - IT system: Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of IT variable is 0.848, satisfying the condition >0.6. Total correlation coefficient of observed variables IT 1,2,3 are 0.673; 0.754 and 0.727 respectively, all >0.3. The values ​​in Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all <0.848. Therefore, the scales meet the standards, ensuring good quality.

- Reliability of the MTKD factor - Business environment: Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the MTKD variable is 0.704, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficient of the observed variables MTKD1,2,3,4 is 0.516; 0.568; 0.569; and 0.358 respectively.

>0.3. The values ​​in the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all <0.704 (excluding the value of the MTKD4 sub-variable). The observed variable MTKD4 has a Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted coefficient = 0.730 which is larger than the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the group which is 0.704. However, the total item correlation coefficient of the MTKD4 variable is 0.358 > 0.3 and the Cronbach's Alpha of the group is above 0.6, even greater than 0.7. Therefore, in this case, there is no need to remove the MTKD4 variable, the scale still meets the standard, ensuring good quality.

- Reliability of the TH factor - Conducting KTQT to evaluate the QHĐ: Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of the TH variable is 0.834, satisfying the condition >0.6. The total correlation coefficient of the observed variables TH 1,2,3,4 are 0.678; 0.641; 0.677 and 0.656 respectively, all >0.3. The values ​​in the Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted column are all <0.834. Therefore, the scales meet the standards, ensuring good quality.

Conclude:

After analyzing reliability, the calculated results of Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of all variables were greater than 0.6; 36 scales ensuring reliability were included in the EFA exploratory factor analysis.


3.3.2. Exploratory factor analysis

Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed after the reliability test of the scale to examine the convergence level of observed variables according to each group of factors (independent variables) and the discriminant value between factors.

In this thesis, the researcher used Varimax rotation of the factors and obtained the following results (Appendix No. 17):

- For independent variables:

+ KMO coefficient = 0.864 is in the range [0.5; 1], so EFA analysis is suitable for research data.

+ Bartlett's test has statistical significance Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05, showing that the observed variables are correlated with each other in the population.

+ Total extracted variance: Rotation Sums of Squared Loadings (Cumulative %)

= 66.46% > 50 %. This shows that 66.46% of the variation in the data is explained by 8 factors.

+ Eigenvalue = 1.189 > 1 at the 8th factor, so the 8 factors extracted from EFA have the best summary meaning of the observed variables.

+ All observed variables have factor loadings > 0.5

The table of results of the rotated matrix of factors shows that: Most of the observed variables converge to the same group and identify 08 influencing factors as proposed by the empirical research model; Only the variable NT4 "Senior managers accept high costs in investing in implementing management accounting to evaluate the performance of enterprises" converges to the group of the CC factor "Commitment of senior managers", but based on the names of the observed variables, the CC factor still retains its original name.

- For dependent variable:

+ KMO = 0.801 is in the range [0.5; 1] so factor analysis is appropriate.

+ Sig. (Bartlett's Test) = 0.000 (sig. < 0.05) shows that the observed variables are correlated with each other in the population.

+ The rotation matrix results show that there is a factor extracted from the observed variables and put into EFA analysis. The explained variance is 66.72% at eigenvalue 2.669 > 1.

3.3.3. Pearson correlation analysis

To perform a pearson correlation analysis, a new variable must first be created to represent a group of variables (by taking the mean of the observed variables that have converged to


same factor from the EFA results table above) with:

The variable QM represents the variables QM1, QM2, QM3. The variable NT represents the variables NT1, NT2, NT3.

The variable CC represents variables CC1, CC2, CC3 and NT4. The variable CL represents variables CL1 to CL4.

Variable VH represents variables VH1, VH3, VH4, VH5, VH6. Variable TDKT represents variables from TDKT1 to TDKT5. Variable IT represents the group of variables from IT1 to IT3. Variable MTKD represents the group of variables from MTKD1 to MTKD4. Variable TH represents the group of variables from TH1 to TH4.
