Abstract
A bank's competitive advantage helps in enhancing its ability to maintain a competitive advantage in product consumption, expand the consumption market, and effectively use business factors to maximize economic growth. The research aims to investigate the impact of organizational culture on the sustainable competitive advantage of commercial banks in Vietnam. The study adopts a quantitative research method, through structural equation modeling analysis (SEM). A survey was conducted on 608 participants who are staff at commercial banks in Vietnam. Research results show that organizational culture has both a direct and indirect impact on sustainable competitive advantage through factors of social responsibility and knowledge sharing. Based on these findings, the study gives some recommendations to contribute to the creation, maintenance, and development of sustainable competitive advantages of commercial banks. The findings of this study have shown the importance and impact of organizational culture on many aspects of a bank's sustainable competitive advantage. These are meaningful contributions in both theory and practice to help banks gain more insight into human resources management. The study also raises an issue on the need to care about and develop an organizational culture to bring professionalism, initiative, and fairness in all activities of commercial banks.
