Attitudes toward teamwork: a study of Vietnamese university students

Nguyen, Gia Nhu and Do, Hauthikim (2021): Attitudes toward teamwork: a study of Vietnamese university students.

Abstract

Teamwork is one of the soft skills that are very interesting in employers. A better teamwork performance of employees could bring about a significant contribution to organizational performance. However, students’ perspectives on teamwork seem to neglect over the years. The study examines attitudes on teamwork among university students in the context of a transitional economy. The study represents one of the first pieces of research employing a formal scale development to measure the attitudes of university students toward teamwork. It also addresses factors that influence Vietnamese university students’ attitudes toward teamwork. Results offer deep insights into the relationships between university student attitudes towards teamwork and its predictors. We found that Vietnamese university students have a positive attitude toward teamwork. While environment facilities, teamwork evaluation, and collectivist culture positively affect teamwork attitudes, there is no significant relationship between teamwork and free-rider problems and perceptions of workload.
