THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PUBLIC SERVICE MOTIVATION, WORK ENJOYMENT, AND TASK PERFORMANCE: A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN VIETNAM

This study aimed to examine the impact of health workers' public service motivation during their participation in response to the Covid-19 pandemic at a time of the highest number of infections and deaths in Vietnam. This study was conducted through a cross-sectional survey using an intentional sampling technique (n=200). In addition, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to illustrate the proposed hypotheses. We found that compassion in the workplace, self-sacrifice, and attraction to policy-making impacted work enjoyment positively and significantly. In particular, there was a positive and significant relationship between work enjoyment and task performance but no evidence of the relationship between Commitment to the public interest and work enjoyment. This study further demonstrates the importance of public service motivation of health workers in pandemic response, as previous studies have found. This finding suggests that the government and policymakers in Vietnam should develop policies to promote health workers' public service motivation during their engagement in response to the health crisis.&nbsp

Effect of pulse time and external magnetic field on Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) effect of electrodeposited multilayer Co/Cu

Influences of pulse time and external magnetic on Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) effect of multilayer Co/Cu were investigated. Results showed that by changing pulse deposition time (tCo, tCu), the MR ratio of the electrodeposited multilayers varied from 0 to 2.70%. The maximum value of MR ratio (2.70%) was achieved with deposition time (tCo= 2s, tCu= 5s), corresponding to the thickness (δCo = 2.1 nm, δCu= 7.0 nm). The presence of external magnetic field Hext during electrodeposition enhanced the amount of deposited Cu on one hand, and increased the (200) texture of the deposited films on the other hand. As a result, the MR ratio of the obtained multilayers increased slightly from 2.70% (Hext= 0) to 2.74% (Hext= 600 mT)
