CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Engaged employees are more likely to perform beyond the call of duty to meet
the needs of customers and are highly motivated to work at full capacity.
These features are critical to the continued commitment of the customer and
current income and growth of an organization. Engaged employees remained in the
employment of the company longer, they resisted offers competitive labor and not
actively looking for another job and recommend the company to others as a best
place to work. Long companies maintain their employees; there would be no need
for additional spending to train new employees (Saker, 2003).
People are most important resources of any organization. Employees are the
livelihood of a company. How do you feel about the work they are doing and the
results received that work directly affect the performance of an organization and
ultimately, its stability (Milliman et al., 2008). For instance, if employees of the
organization are highly motivated and pro-active, they will do whatever is necessary
to achieve the objectives of the organization and track the industry to achieve the
goals of organizational performance to address any potential challenge.
The success any business depends largely on the motivation of employees.
Organization low motivation is completely vulnerable to internal and external
challenges, because its employees are not given a step further to maintain the
stability of the organization. As we know, unstable organization ultimately
effective.

1.6 Problem Statement
Every organization could not last without their employees. Employees are
the main reason an organization could exist for a long time. Similarly to
Tradewinds Group, employees are the ones who play the major roles and make
significant contributions to the organizations. Hence, the organization should pay
attention to them in order to keep them in the organization. This will also influence
the productivity of the organizations which eventually will lead to achieving the
organizations’ visions and goals. Highly satisfied and committed employees will
deliver high quality of job performance.
At Vietinbank there are some issues related to job satisfaction and
performance which affect the employee satisfaction and performance in the
organization (HR Report 2009). Although the number is rather small but tackling
Page 16 of 70
RESEARCH PROJECT
poor performance is a challenge for all managers in the organization. According to
the sources and data collected from the Human Resource Department of some
branches in Ho Chi Minh City, there are continuous issues of job satisfaction as
well as job performance in the organization (HR Report 2010).
This is the reason that researchers do this study, which evaluated the factors
affecting job satisfaction level and propose solutions to improve and increase labor
productivity, efficiency business.

2.1 Job satisfaction
Job satisfaction or employee satisfaction has been defined in many different
ways. Some believe it is simply how content an individual is with his or her job, in
other words, whether or not they like the job or individual aspects or facets of jobs,
such as nature of work or supervision (Spector, P.E. 1997). Others believe it is not
so simplistic as this definition suggests and instead that multidimensional
psychological responses to one's job are involved (Hulin, C. L., & Judge, T. A.
2003). Researchers have also noted that job satisfaction measures vary in the extent
to which they measure feelings about the job (affective job satisfaction) (Thompson,
E.R.; Phua F.T.T. 2012) or cognitions about the job (cognitive job satisfaction)
(Moorman, R.H. 1993).
The concept of job satisfaction has been developed in many ways by many
different researchers and practitioners. One of the most widely used definitions in
Page 18 of 70
RESEARCH PROJECT
organizational research is that of Locke (1976), who defines job satisfaction as "a
pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job
experiences" (Locke,E.A. (1976 p. 1304). Others have defined it as simply how
content an individual is with his or her job; whether he or she likes the job or not
(Spector, P.E. 1997). It is assessed at both the global level (whether or not the
individual is satisfied with the job overall), or at the facet level (whether or not the
individual is satisfied with different aspects of the job) (Spector, P.E. 1997). Spector
(1997) lists 14 common facets: Appreciation, Communication, Coworkers, Fringe
benefits, Job conditions, Nature of the work, Organization, Personal growth, Policies
and procedures, Promotion opportunities, Recognition, Security, and Supervision).
A more recent definition of the concept of job satisfaction is from Hulin and
Judge (2003), who have noted that job satisfaction includes multidimensional
psychological responses to an individual's job, and that these personal responses have
cognitive (evaluative), affective (or emotional), and behavioral components (Hulin, C.
L., & Judge, T. A. 2003). Job satisfaction scales vary in the extent to which they
assess the affective feelings about the job or the cognitive assessment of the job.
Affective job satisfaction is a subjective construct representing an emotional feeling
individuals have about their job. Hence, affective job satisfaction for individuals
reflects the degree of pleasure or happiness their job in general induces. Cognitive job
satisfaction is a more objective and logical evaluation of various facets of a job.
Cognitive job satisfaction can be unidimensional if it comprises evaluation of just one
facet of a job, such as pay or maternity leave, or multidimensional if two or more
facets of a job are simultaneously evaluated. Cognitive job satisfaction does not assess
the degree of pleasure or happiness that arises from specific job facets, but rather
gauges the extent to which those job facets are judged by the job holder to be
satisfactory in comparison with objectives they themselves set or with other jobs.
While cognitive job satisfaction might help to bring about affective job satisfaction,
Page 19 of 70
RESEARCH PROJECT
the two constructs are distinct, not necessarily directly related, and have different
antecedents and consequences (Moorman, R.H. (1993).
Job satisfaction can also be seen within the broader context of the range of issues
which affect an individual's experience of work, or their quality of working life. Job
satisfaction can be understood in terms of its relationships with other key factors, such
as general well-being, stress at work, control at work, home-work interface, and
working conditions (Tomaževič, N.; Seljak, J.; Aristovnik, A. 2014).
A study title "Analysis of Factors Affecting Job Satisfaction of the Employees
in Public and Private Sector", in India concluded that in India Employees tend to love
their job if they get what they believe is an important attribute of a good job.
Weightage factor of each such attribute based on exhaustive survey has been
calculated. Region, sector and gender wise study of job satisfaction has provided
consistent picture with respect to distribution of data set analyzed showed that most of
the employees in Indian industry are not satisfied with their job except for a few like
male in commerce sector and female in education sector. Total job satisfaction level
of males is found to be higher than that of woman. Total job satisfaction level in
manufacturing sector is found to be very low (Kumari, G., Joshi, G., and Pandey, K.M
2014).
2.2 Supervisory support
Support from supervisors often involves showing one’s concern for and
encouraging employees, providing key resources, a structured work environment,
feedback, opportunities for career advancement, information, and assistance in
coping with work-related stressors (Babin & Boles, 1996; Griffin et al., 2001; Jiang
& Klein, 2000; Rauktis & Koeske, 1994). This source of support might be more
important to the focal employee than other sources of support because of the
supervisor’s position of power and hierarchical standing (Beehr 1995, cited in
Beehr & Glazer, 2001). It is also important for supervisors to coach and guide
