              Abstract 
               
                    The study conducted a theoretical  review  and  review  of  previous  studies  shows  that  the 
                    research gap is the correlation between social responsibility factors, green marketing strategy, 
                    corporate reputation and business performance. The practical context of the tourism service 
                    industry in Vietnam is also necessary and suitable for research. The study's overall objective 
                    is  to  propose and test a model on the relationship between corporate social responsibility, 
                    green marketing strategy, corporate reputation, and business performance. In the case of the 
                    study, it is a travel service business in Ho Chi Minh City. The research methodology of the 
                    research is a mixed-method, performed sequentially as follows: the first qualitative research 
                    through  interviews  with  10  experts  to  consider  the  necessity  of  the  research  problem  in 
                    Vietnam, to adjust and supplement the scales for research concepts; Quantitative research 
                    with a questionnaire survey. According to the quota principle (quota), the sample was selected 
                    with a sample size of 218 travel companies to test the proposed theoretical research model. A 
                    second  qualitative  study  was  performed  to  aid  the  interpretation  of  the  results  from 
                    quantitative  data  analysis.  Research  results  have  identified  stakeholders  in  the  tourism 
                    industry,  including  tourists,  travel  businesses,  local  authorities  and  local  people.  The 
                    relationships  between  research  concepts  are  confirmed,  including  corporate  social 
                    responsibility,  green  marketing  strategies  that  have  a  positive  impact  on  corporation 
                    reputation,  corporate  social  responsibility  is  found  to  have  a  positive  impact  on  green 
                    marketing strategies, corporate social responsibility, green marketing strategies, and corporate 
                    reputation all have positive effects on business results. At the same time, the enterprise's 
                    characteristics in terms of the main type of business and the size of the business are identified 
                    as having differences in the relationship between research concepts.

              Introduction 
               
                    In recent decades, environmental protection is a term that has been mentioned in many 
                    fields, both in theory and practice. This has created a lot of pressure for businesses to 
                    change their  operating  methods  to  ensure  that  they  achieve  environmental  and  social 
                    values and still increase business results. According to the argument based on natural 
                    resources (natural-resource-based view), (Von Geibler et al. 2016) argued that, when the 
                    increasing environmental pressure forces businesses to implement new strategies (Nguyen 
                    et al., 2020), they could be a competitive advantage of the business. Since then, the green 
                    marketing strategy is seen as a useful strategy, and it would help businesses adjust their 
                    operating  goals  and  move  towards  the  environment  to  ensure  customer  expectations 
                    (Melkonyan, Gottschalk, and Vasanth 2017) (Hoang Phuong, Minh Tuan, and Minh Tuan 
                    2019). Also, under the pressure of the environment and society, businesses realize that the 
                    business operation process is achieving the company's goals and balancing the interests of 
                    stakeholders perform social responsibility. There has opened up the need for research on 
                    social  responsibility  and  green  marketing  in  both  theoretical  and  empirical  terms  to 
                    respond to the business development process in the volatile environment (Md. Salamun 
                    Rashidin, et. al., 2019). 
               
                    Over the past 25 years, green marketing has emerged as a growth in awareness and action 
                    for  businesses  to  improve  their  reputation  and  performance.  Many  scholars  have 
                    researched green marketing on a variety of topics. Valuable research by (Kumar 2016), 
                    which collected 161 related research papers from 1990 to 2014, demonstrated detailed 
                    research progress in four areas of green marketing, including Green marketing strategy, 
                    The function of green marketing, The results of green marketing and Eco-Direction. The 
                    research results of (Kumar 2016) have shown that the research distribution rate in four 
                    areas  of  green  marketing  has  29  studies  (18%)  on  ecological  orientation,  46  studies 
                    (28.5%) on green marketing strategy, 127 studies (77.6%) on green marketing function 
                    and 32 studies (19.7%) related to green marketing results. By geographical distribution, 
                    there were 171 authors (48%) of studies for European countries, 107 authors (30%) of 
                    studies  for  North  American  countries,  and  45  authors  (12.5  %)  research  in  Asian 
                    countries, 33 authors (9%) studied countries in Australia and 2 authors (0.5%) studied 
                    countries in Africa. Of the total number of research papers are those of American authors. 
                    In Asia, only Chinese authors do research. From the research results of (Kumar 2016), it 
              117                                                         http://www.webology.org 
              Webology, Volume 18, Special Issue on Computing Technology and Information 
              Management, September, 2021 
                    shows that research in the field of green marketing results for developing countries in 
                    Asia is few, and the directions for further research such as green marketing capacity and 
                    its  impact  on  business  results,  how  green  products  create  green  brand  equity  and 
                    economic  value,  and  green  marketing  strategies  on  non-financial  business  results. 
                    Besides, (Roy and Barua 2016) synthesized research on green marketing from 1994 to 
                    January 2016, concluding that research on this topic is in great demand. (Eneizan and 
                    Obaid 2016) have compiled 23 studies on green marketing from 2009 to 2015, the results 
                    show that there are very few studies on green marketing strategies and business results. 
                    Most of the research focuses on customers with factors such as customer satisfaction, 
                    intention  to  buy  green  products,  the  actual  behaviour  of  buying  green  products.  The 
                    aggregate  results  also  show  that  most  research  on  green  marketing  is  conducted  in 
                    developed countries. Only a few studies are conducted in developing countries and need 
                    research in enterprises. Especially focusing on business results (Jalil, N.A. et. al., 2019). 
                    (Pomering and Johnson 2018) said that the green marketing concept has focused only on 
                    tangible  products  over  the  past  years,  not  to  mention  the  service  aspect.  Therefore, 
                    research on green marketing in services is very important, and there is also a gap in 
                    theoretical and experimental research. Green marketing strategy is considered a dynamic 
                    and  flexible  business  strategy  to  promote  internal  strengths,  focusing  on  corporate 
                    responsibility to the environment, society, and stakeholders (Dahlstrom 2010) (Nguyen 
                    2019). (Dotzel and Shankar 2019) Green marketing strategy is not only about product 
                    improvement,  customer  service  innovation,  but  it  is  all  the  decisions  that  reflect 
                    environmental  responsibility  to  stakeholders  (Jalil,  N.A.  et.  al.,  2019).  A  business's           
                    never-changing  goal  is  to  increase  business  results  and  implement  a  green  marketing 
                    strategy or social responsibility (S. Suman Rajest, et. al., 2021). In recent years, many 
                    authors have conducted exploratory and experimental studies to determine the relationship 
                    between social responsibility and business performance, the relationship between green 
                    marketing strategy and business performance. (Feng, Wang, and Kreuze 2017) studied 
                    1877  largest  U.S.  enterprises  from  1991  to  2011.  The  results  show  that  social 
                    responsibility has positive implications for most companies in the industry. Experimental 
                    results  show  that  different  types  of  social  responsibility  have  different  effects  on 
                    companies' financial performance from different industries. (Sial et al. 2018) surveyed 
                    3481 enterprises in the Chinese stock market. The results show that social responsibility 
                    has a positive relationship with company performance. (Bustaman 2019) surveyed 386 
                    "green"  car  dealers  in  Jordan,  the  study  found  size,  education,  experience,  product, 
                    distribution,  physical  evidence,  and  process  influence,  the  overall  performance  of  the 
                    company and the influence of age, product and promotion on the company's financial 
                    performance is very significant and positive. Analysis has found that government policy 
              118                                                         http://www.webology.org 
              Webology, Volume 18, Special Issue on Computing Technology and Information 
              Management, September, 2021 
                    has  a  censorship  effect  on  education  and  green  marketing  strategies  on  corporate 
                    operations. (Eneizan, Abd-Wahab, and S. 2016) conducted a study that evaluated previous 
                    studies of firms implementing green marketing strategies (7Ps) that were expected to be 
                    more  profitable  than  those  that  did  not.  Besides,  some  authors  propose  to  study  the 
                    relationship  between  social  responsibility  and  green  marketing  strategy  (Hewett  and 
                    Lemon 2019). Some studies mention that corporate reputation is a concept influenced by 
                    green  marketing  strategy  (Sun,  Hall,  and  Cegielski  2020),  by  social  responsibility                
                    (Gras-Gil, Palacios Manzano, and Hernández Fernández 2016), (Hazirah et al. 2019), and 
                    corporate  reputation  also  increases  business  performance  (Taghian,  D'Souza,  and 
                    Polonsky 2015). 
               
                    Thus, the above studies show that there have been studies approaching the relationship 
                    between these pairs of concepts. Still, it is very rare to put these problems together in 
                    correlation  (Hewett  and  Lemon  2019),  (Athirah,  Musa,  and  Keng  2019)  specifically 
                    research  for  a  developing  country  was  not  found.  This  is  the  theoretical  gap  that  the 
                    research determines to research in Vietnam. As mentioned above, social responsibility 
                    and green marketing are concepts that many researchers have implemented, but they often 
                    focus on goods rather than services. Because the environmental and social impacts of the 
                    production of tangible goods seem to be more noticeable (D Datta, et. al., 2020). Service 
                    is  inherently seen as an intangible process. However, it still has a huge impact on the 
                    environment (Dangelico and Vocalelli, 2017). According to (Keckes and Tomicic 2017) 
                    (Lundberg,  Ziakas,  and  Morgan,  2018),  tourism  is  an  interdisciplinary,  inter-regional 
                    integrated  economic sector with proven socio-economic importance (R. Regin, et. al., 
                    2021). Tourism and travel are important economic activity in most countries worldwide, 
                    having  direct  and  indirect  economic  effects.  Therefore,  this  study  considers  social 
                    responsibility,  green  marketing  and  business  performance  in  the  service  sector, 
                    particularly travel and tourism services (D.K. Sharma and D.S. Hooda, 2010). 
               
                    The article focuses on quantitative research with questionnaire surveys. The sample is 
                    selected  according  to  the  quota  principle,  with  a  sample  size  of  218  travel  agencies. 
                    Subjects  are  middle-level  managers  or  higher,  in  charge  of  tourism  businesses'  travel 
                    service business in Ho Chi Minh City (A.J. Obaid, 2021). Then, the data was performed 
                    with  SPSS  20  software  to  evaluate  the  reliability  of  the  scale  (Cronbach's  Alpha), 
                    exploratory  Factor  Analysis  (EFA  -  Exploratory  Factor  Analysis)  to  determine 
                    convergence value and the discriminant value of the scale (Jalil, N. A. et. al., 2019) 
               
                    To  consider  the  satisfactory  ability  of  the  measurement  model  and  the  suitability  of 
                    factors  with  market  data,  the  study  continues  to  conduct  the  method  of  Confirmatory 
              119                                                         http://www.webology.org
