This study investigates the relationship and the magnitude of the influence of perceived training in labor law knowledge on employees’ organizational commitment, with job satisfaction as a mediating factor. The study concentrates on the commercial banking sector in Vietnam, an emerging developing country in Southeast Asia. Data were gathered through interviews with 496 employees from 20 commercial banks in Vietnam. Applying partial least squares structural equation modeling, the analysis indicates that employees’ perceptions of training in labor law knowledge have both direct and indirect effects on their job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The perceived motivation for training, perceived benefits of training, perceived availability of training, and perceived support from management and colleagues all serve as significant mediators in this relationship. Notably, increased job satisfaction significantly contributes to a positive impact on employees’ commitment to the organization. However, the study results suggest that employees’ perceived benefits of labor law training do not have a significant influence on their commitment to the organization. Nonetheless, these results serve as a foundation for managerial implications, offering valuable insights to enterprise managers in the commercial bank sector to improve future labor law training.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between three factors: enforcement of labor social welfare labor laws, internal corporate social responsibility (CSR) implementation, and job satisfaction as perceived by managers in the commercial banking sector. The research utilized a qualitative research method – in-depth interviews based on a semi-structured questionnaire with 20 experienced managers from 11 commercial banks in Vietnam, an emerging economy. Findings indicated a positive reciprocal relationship between enforcement of social welfare labor laws and internal CSR responsibilities of enterprises. Additionally, enforcing labor social welfare laws and internal CSR implementation positively impacted employee job satisfaction. The study also identified five aspects of internal CSR implementation towards employees: (1) timely and full payment of wages, bonuses, and benefits; (2) establishing a conducive work environment; (3) policies addressing human rights, health, and safety at work; (4) fair and democratic treatment, providing training and career advancement opportunities, and protecting employees through organizational activities; (5) having legal norms, procedures, mechanisms for recording, feedback, monitoring, and reasonable evaluation of job performance. These findings contribute to enriching both theoretical understanding and practical implications regarding the interplay of these three factors in commercial banks, encouraging managers to effectively implement social welfare laws and internal CSR implementation.

This study aims to explore past research trends and identify key future directions at the intersection of artificial intelligence and legal education. The study’s data were gathered from the Scopus database, comprising 68 selected documents spanning from 1999 to 2024. The research methodology involves the use of VOSviewer software for bibliometric analysis. The results reveal that research on artificial intelligence and legal education, while still limited, has been undertaken in various countries, focusing on five primary research directions, including: (1) Improving technical education systems in colleges and universities through educational technology and modern legal learning systems; (2) Application of artificial intelligence and algorithms in the legal field; (3) Applying computational theory and e-learning technology in legal education; (4) Legal education and legal knowledge; (5) Digital transformation in the field of legal training. Based on the research results, five future research directions on this topic are also proposed, including: (1) Application of artificial intelligence in analyzing and predicting legal trends; (2) Artificial intelligence in personalizing the legal learning experience; (3) Artificial intelligence and legal professional ethics; (4) Development of artificial intelligence tools supporting legal teaching and research; and (5) Integration of artificial intelligence into online learning systems for legal education.
