INTRODUCTION The importance of the topic International economic integration is not only an opportunity to expand the business market but also creates significant challenges for the financial business sector in the world in general and commercial banks in Vietnam in particular The competition trend between banks is changing greatly While private commercial banks have created more competitive image and position and improved their competitiveness, state-owned commercial banks also showed determination to keep firm market share In addition, foreign banks in Vietnam, with long-term experience in developing banking services, are also gaining market dominance and putting a great pressure on domestic banks Thus, basically all banks have been striving to improve their competitiveness by innovating in technology, services, human resources and financial scale With the difference in product portfolio, business processes or business characteristics of commercial banks, it is usually not large but lies in the characteristics of service style, communication etiquette, creative culture or external factors such as logos, slogans, uniforms and regulations These factors create a unique culture for each bank, which is the brand identity, attracting and creating trust in customers As a specific and sensitive business sector for the entire economic life, in addition to the trend of investing in technology and expanding distribution networks, the focus on developing organizational culture plays an important role helping banks ensure sustainable growth in the context of fierce competition Up to now, most of Vietnamese commercial banks have gradually built themselves solid brands on the basis of organizational culture However, the establishment of corporate culture at Vietnamese commercial banks is not yet consistent in the system, the agreed cultural values are still not completely and completely reflected in the local branch As an "intangible asset" that creates competitiveness, organizational culture in commercial banking operations needs to continue to play a key role in the development strategy through recruitment, training, marketing, management and administration activities On the other hand, many commercial banks in Vietnam have been restructuring, merging, and merging with other banks under the Prime Minister's Decision No 254 / QD-TTg on

CULTURE AT COMMERCIAL BANKS IN QUANG NGAI PROVINCE 3.1 Introduction of commercial banks in Quang Ngai province 3.2 Results of organizational culture expression evaluation at commercial banks in Quang Ngai province 3.2.1 The expression evaluation at state-owned commercial banks in Quang Ngai province 3.2.1.1 The tangible expression The tangible elements include the brand identity system, which are the most concentrated construction and development by state-owned commercial banks in Quang Ngai province Through the development stages of the bank, these factors have been formed and adjusted to suit the current business situation Traditional emulation activities and event programs are also invested by banks in both scale and quality, in order to contribute to the process of building and developing brands as well as organizational culture In particular, state-owned commercial banks have developed organizational culture by developing clear rules that are expressed in the form of Organizational Culture Handbook In addition, office architectural features and office decoration are not really effective in expressing cultural characteristics of state-owned commercial banks in Quang Ngai province 3.2.1.2 The intangible expression The results show that the common values of the state-owned commercial banks are interested in building and developing, reaching a relatively high rating from bank staff The staff reflects the future belief and development of the bank and the pride of being a member of the bank However, the missions, business philosophy and development strategies not seem to be clear enough and highlight the roles and duties of the members of the bank 15 3.2.2 The expression evaluation at private commercial banks in Quang Ngai province 3.2.2.1 The tangible expression Private commercial banks in Quang Ngai province also focus on cultural development under the main tangible expressions such as the system of professional rules and conduct communication, brand identification tools, style activities emulation movement at the bank 3.2.2.2 The intangible expression The common values of commercial banks in Quang Ngai province are concerned about the business philosophy, mission and core values systems, as these factors have been agreed from the central headquarters to the local branch The unified value system in banks often manifests itself in the form of business philosophy, mission, core values and vision On the contrary, these banks have not paid much attention to the awareness of the cultural traditions and history of the organization's development, as well as the employees' awareness of their role in the future development of the bank 3.3 Results of organizational culture type evaluation at commercial banks in Quang Ngai province 3.3.1 Type of organizational culture at state-owned commercial banks in Quang Ngai province In general, the current organizational culture model of state-owned commercial joint stock commercial banks is more in favor of market culture (C = 26,4375), hierarchical culture (D = 26,3185) than Family Culture and Creative Culture In the future, the employees in this group expect the organizational culture model to be developed towards the family culture (from 24,2173 to 29,3661) - this is an attribute highest expected among the attributes of the organizational culture model, and the attribute of Creative culture is also expected to increase (from 22,7560 to 25,5863); sharply decreasing Market culture and Hierarchical culture 16 3.3.2 Type of organizational culture at private commercial banks in Quang Ngai province The survey results show that, in the present, the organizational culture model of private commercial banks tends to balance between the four attributes, the level of difference between the attributes is not high And with employees' expectations for future organizational culture models, the model will shift towards increasing the score of Family Culture (up from 25,1870 to 29,7703) and Creative Culture (increase from 24,0064 to 25,2564); reducing Market and Hierarchical Culture 3.3.3 Comparison of organizational culture type between two groups of state-owned and private commercial banks For state-owned joint stock commercial banks, the model tends to study the attributes of market culture and hierarchical culture, while the organizational culture model of private commercial banks tends to balance between the four attributes For the attribute of Family culture and Creative culture, the average score in the group of private commercial banks is higher 3.4 Research results of factors influencing organizational culture at commercial banks in Quang Ngai province Research results for commercial banks groups are as follows: 3.4.1 State-owned commercial banks 3.4.1.1 Quantitative research results After eliminating the unreliable indicators, the official scale left 23 observed variables corresponding to factors assumed to be influential The official scale is built and restructured based on observed variables with sufficient remaining reliability Applying the method of rotation of factors, the results show that all these variables are significant (values> 0.5) and are extracted into specific groups of factors In the adjusted model, the dependent variable is Organizational Culture (VH) The independent variables are: 17 - Staffs (CBNV); - Job Feature (CV); - Competition (CT); - Customer (KH); - Integration process (HN) With the analysis results, it can be affirmed that these variables have significance in the model and the regression model of VH is set as follows: VHi = 1,107 + 0,592CBNVi + 0,143KHi + 0,040HNi + ɛi The linear regression model is made with a number of assumptions and the model only really makes sense when these assumptions are guaranteed 3.4.1.2 Discussion Based on the results of quantitative research, there are factors that directly affect organizational culture at state-owned commercial banks in Quang Ngai province They are Staff, Customers and Integration Process Among the above three factors, the staff staff including leaders and employees of state-owned commercial banks has the most positive influence on the organizational culture of the unit with a regression coefficient of 0.592; The customer factor has the regression coefficient of 0.143 and the integration process has the lowest regression coefficient of 0.040 This is also the answer to this content research goal 3.4.2 Private commercial banks 3.4.2.1 Quantitative research results In the study of the influencing factors proposed in Chapter 2, there are factors (corresponding to 24 indicators) that are assumed to influence organizational culture at private commercial banks The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient obtained from the survey results for these scales generally ranges from 0,613 to 0,807 This proves that this scale has good reliability After the removal of the correlation coefficient was too low, the official scale left 21 observed variables corresponding to factors assumed to be 18 influential The official scale is built and restructured based on observed variables with sufficient remaining reliability Multiple linear regression analysis was performed with independent variables, including: Staff (NV), Customer (KH); Leadership (LD); Job Feature (CV); Integration process (HN); The competition(CT) and dependent variable are Organizational Culture (VH) With the results of the analysis, it can be confirmed that these variables have significance in the model and the regression model of the culture of private commercial banks is established as follows: VHi = 0,727 + 0,286NVi + 0,215KHi + 0,118LDi + 0,098CTi + 0,080CVi + ɛi The linear regression model is made with a number of assumptions and the model only really makes sense when these assumptions are guaranteed 3.4.2.2 Discussion Based on the results of quantitative research, there are factors that directly affect organizational culture at private commercial banks in Quang Ngai province They are Staff, Customers, Leader, Competition and Job Features In which, Staff is the most influential factor in organizational culture at private commercial banks with regression coefficient of 0,286; next is Customer factor with regression coefficient of 0,215; Leader factors (0,111); Competition factor (0,098) and job feature factor (0,080) 3.4.3 Comparison of factors influencing organizational culture between two groups of state-owned and private commercial banks Firstly, differences in composition of influencing factors For stateowned commercial banks, Organizational culture is directly influenced by the factors Staff (including leaders and employees), Customers and Integration Organizational culture at private commercial banks is influenced by factors such as Staff, Customers, Leadership, Competition Environment and Job Features 19 Second, the differences in the influence level of the factors In the aforementioned analysis results, it can be seen that in the research model of the group of state-owned commercial banks, bank staff is the most positive factor affecting OC with the regression coefficient of 0,592; while the remaining two factors are Customer and Integration process with regression coefficients of 0,143 and 0,040 The difference in regression coefficients shows the clear difference in the degree of influence between the staff factor and the remaining factors on organizational culture in this group On the other hand, for the group of private commercial banks, the regression coefficients of variables in the research model ranged from 0,080 to 0,286 showing that the difference is not too large in the degree of influence of the factors affecting OC at these banks 3.5 General Assessment 3.5.1 Results Firstly, the tangible and intangible expression of organizational culture are interested in building and developing at commercial banks in Quang Ngai province Secondly, the organizational culture at commercial banks in Quang Ngai province now presents a high level of cooperation and competitiveness, which is relatively consistent with the specific

commercial banks in Quang Ngai province - Staffs not figure out their own position in the development process of the bank - The characteristics of the working style of banks have not been clearly expressed Secondly, there is a big gap in the nature of business culture in stateowned commercial banks between the present value and the expected value of employees Thirdly, the role of developing organizational culture in the current competitive context among commercial banks is not well understood Chapter SOME SOLUTIONS TO DEVELOP ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AT COMMERCIAL BANKS IN QUANG NGAI

mission, strategic vision, cultural traditions, feelings of employees There are many factors influencing organizational culture at commercial banks, but mainly include two groups: internal factors (leadership, bank staff, job feature) and external factors ( customers, the competition and the integration process) (2) Practically, assessing organizational culture at commercial banks in Quang Ngai province shows that: - The tangible expressions are relatively clear, are interested in the development and development of commercial banks, but there are still some expressions that are not really appreciated in the organizational cultural value system of banks as the anecdotes, the story of the bank's development tradition, the bank staff's awareness of their own contribution to the bank's development strategy in the future - The current organizational culture model at banks is heavily market-oriented and hierarchical, while the desire of the staff towards a shared, cooperative and
