Lecturers constitute the core force in ensuring the quality of education, scientific research, and the development of organizational culture. Therefore, managing the academic staff plays a pivotal role in the strategic development of higher education. However, an overview analysis of existing research on human resource management and faculty management reveals that most current studies approach the topic in a fragmented manner, focusing only on specific aspects without a comprehensive theoretical framework, and inadequately reflecting the profound social transformations impacting universities. From these research gaps, this article proposes three theoretical and practical research directions to address faculty management issues in Vietnamese universities: (1) developing a systemic faculty management model that integrates educational philosophy, policy, procedures, and management technologies; (2) designing a competency framework for lecturers tailored to the specific conditions of each institution; and (3) constructing a set of performance evaluation indicators (KPIs) to improve the efficiency of academic human resource management and development.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that there are many differences between Chinese culture and Korean culture. And in the book (Dallet, 1874), he introduced ‘the thousand character essay’ to Western World. Chinese character is commonly used by both Chinese people and Korean people. And the thousand character essay (in Korea, it is called as ‘Tcheonzamun’) is used commonly by Korean people and Chinese people (Han, 1583). In the present work, a) Tcheonzamun translation, b) the relation between Korean language and Tcheonzamun were treated. On the present work, the next method was utilized for the translation of the Tcheonzamun poem (Tcheonzamun 273rd-288th). It is the method through the meaning of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun (Park, et al., 2021). The title of this study is ‘My husband! To me (your wife), you have to speak your words (言) with the great effort (辭) (Tcheonzamun 273rd-288th)’. Mainly, this work concerns the translation of the Tcheonzamun poem (Tcheonzamun 273rd-288th). In addition, the present researchers tried to know the relation between the grammar of Korean language and Tcheonzamun translation. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay). Chinese character (Pronunciation shown in Korean language on English alphabet).> 273-276 川(Tcheon) 流(Lyu) 不(Bul) 息(Sig). My husband! The river (川) flows (流) continually without (不) any rest (息).

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote that ‘the thousand character essay’ was utilized as the text book for ancient Chinese children for instructing Chinese characters. The period is up to Tchin (秦) dynasty before B.C. 2 century. In Korea, the thousand character essay is called as ‘Tcheonzamun’ (Han, 1583). It is really thought that Tcheonzamun was created by Chinese people (Han, 1583). However, several researchers found that Tcheonzamun might be created by Korean language-speaking people (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). In the present study, the Tcheonzamun poem of (Tcheonzamun 273rd-288th) was translated on the basis of the meaning of Chinese characters (Park et al., 2021). This study concerns the translation of ‘the thousand character essay’. The range of the present translation of Tcheonzamun poem is 16 Chinese characters of (Tcheonzamun 273rd-288th). The title of this study is ‘My husband! Do you want to think (思) wisely something (若) good? The look of your face (容) must be stable and peaceful (止) to me (your wife) (Tcheonzamun 273rd-288th)’. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay).

Abstract: French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that ‘the thousand character essay’ have been used as a textbook for both Chinese children and Korean children. And Tcheonzamun was utilized for the children for learning Chinese characters. In Korea, the thousand character essay is called as ‘Tcheonzamun’. Most of Koreans believed that Chinese people has created this great book (Tcheonzamun) (Han, 1583). However, recently, several researchers suggested that Korean language-speaking people has made Tcheonzamun book (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). Korean people and Chinese people commonly use Tcheonzamun book (Dallet, 1874). However, there are differences in the grammar between Chinese language and Korean language. It is well known that both the grammar of Korean language and that of Japanese language are similar. The previous two languages are composed of SOV(subject + object + verb), while Chinese language and English language are composed of SVO(subject + verb + object). As a result, the translation must be different with the same Chinese characters between on Chinese language and on Korean language. The thousand character essay is called as Tcheonzamun in Korea (Han, 1583). A Tcheonzamun poem is composed of 16 Chinese characters (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). The range of this study is (Tcheonzamun 257th-272nd). On the present study, the translation will be carried out on the basis of meaning of Chinese characters (Park et al., 2021). This study concerns the translation of Tcheonzamun poem (Tcheonzamun 257th-272nd). The title of this study is ‘But you had better refresh (夙興) the ambiance when it is not warm! (Tcheonzamun 257th-272nd)’. <Number in Tcheonzamun(the thousand character essay). Chinese character (Pronunciation shown in Korean language on English alphabet)>. 257-260 臨 (Im) 深(Sim) 履(Li) 薄(Bag). My husband! You say to me frequently, “Be careful as if you were above the river covered with thin ice (履薄).” “Be careful as if you were on the dangerous place (臨深) in the case of the breakdown of thin ice.” 261-264 夙(Sug) 興(Heung) 溫(On) 凊(Tcheong). My husband! But I(your wife) will say to you! “Your words are not false! But you had better refresh (夙興) the ambiance when it is not warm! When the ambiance is too dark, please make it bright! But when the ambiance is too bright, please make it to be calm (溫凊).” 265-268 似 (Sa) 蘭(Lan) 斯(Sa) 馨(Hyeong). My husband! I will say to you, “If you do those things sincerely, the ambiance of our family will become good. And our ambiance will become good as if we had the fragrance (斯馨) of orchid plant (似蘭).” 269-272 如 (Yeo) 松 (Song) 之(Zi) 盛(Seong). My husband! I will advise the next thing to you! “If you do this diligently, the growth of our children (之盛) will become directly as that of pine plant (如松).”.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) described that there are many differences between Chinese culture and Korean culture. However, Chinese people and Korean commonly use Chinese character and the thousand character essay. The thousand character essay is called in Korea as Tcheonzamun (Han, 1583). Nearly all of Koreans believe that Tcheonzamun was created by Chinese people (Han, 1583). However, recently, several researchers suggested that Korean language-speaking people have created Tcheonzamun (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023). Chinese character was taken from the somewhat old Tcheonzamun book (Han, 1583). For the first time, deleting method was corrected. Until now, deletion of the same or the similar part was between another Chinese character (Kim, 2023). The title of this study is ‘My dear husband! I love you! (Nim(履)-a(薄)!) You are so strong! (Him(臨)-sen(深)) (Tcheonzamun 257th-272nd)’. This is the first translation through Korean pronunciation of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun. <Number in Tcheonzamun. Chinese character (Pronunciation in Korean language). “Modified pronunciation in Korean alphabet.” Modified pronunciation in English alphabet>. 257-260 臨 (Im) 深(Sim) 履(Li) 薄(Bag). “힘센 님아!” Him(臨)-sen(深) Nim(履)-a(薄)! My dear husband! I love you! (Nim(履)-a(薄)!) You are so strong! (Him(臨)-sen(深)). 261-264 夙(Sug) 興(Heung) 溫(On) 凊(Tcheong). “쉬이 와서!” Swi(夙)-i(興) Wa(溫)-seo(凊)! My husband!

This is the second translation of on the basis of the meaning of Chinese character on Tcheonzamun. There are two repetitions for each line. It is in order to compare the deleted form with the original form of Chinese characters on the present Tcheonzamun poem. For the first time, the same parts on the same Chinese character were deleted. The bracket of [ ] was used in the next part. It is the expression of deleting same part or similar part in the same Chinese character. <Number in Tcheonzamun (the thousand character essay). Chinese character (Pronunciation shown in Korean language on English alphabet)>. 257-260 臨(Im) 深(Sim) 履(Li) 薄(Bag). 257-260 臨(Im)-口-口-口-[口-口-口] =人. 深(Sim)-氵-儿-木=冖. 履(Li)-人(儿)-尸-[夂(尸)]-曰-冫=丨. 薄(Bag)-氵-曰-艹(木)-一丶(冫)=寸.

French Missionary Dallet (1874) wrote in his book that ‘the thousand character essay’ has been utilized as a textbook for the children both in China and in Korea. It is firmly believed that this great book in Asia was created by Chinese people (Han, 1583). In Korea, the thousand character essay’ is called as Tcheonzamun. Recently, several researchers found that Tcheonzamun was quite translated well on Korea language style (Park et al., 2021; Kim, 2023).

In this paper, I argue that Hamid’s character Changez represents those immigrants who are frustrated due to their fractured identity on foreign soil. Moreover, Changez, who initially embraces new cultures but later falls into a big ditch located between native cultures and foreign cultures. This paper examines The Reluctant Fundamentalist through the postcolonial lens. In this era of globalization, emigration has become a normal phenomenon, indicating a possibility of cultural harmony and multiculturalism. The technological advancements have shrunk the word, resulting in a “global village.” The world is becoming smaller and interaction among people from different cultural backgrounds is getting stronger. Yet, there are occasions when multiculturalism proves to be an obstacle to cultural harmony, which exactly is reflected in Mohsin Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Upon examining the novel, the paper claims that failure to reconcile two identities on foreign soil leads to isolation from native and foreign cultures, leading individuals to confront massive psychological turbulence such as frustration and depression.
