Factors Affecting The Level Of Job Satisfaction Of Youth Workers In Direct Production Area In Ho Chi Minh City

Tóm tắt

Job satisfaction among young industrial workers is influenced by multiple factors within the workplace environment, especially in the context of rapid industrialization and urbanization occurring in key economic centers, notably Ho Chi Minh City. Drawing on Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, this study surveyed 390 young workers employed in industrial zones and applied multiple linear regression analysis to identify determinants of job satisfaction. The findings indicate that working conditions and welfare benefits exert a positive and statistically significant impact on overall job satisfaction. In contrast, coworker relationships and job pressure do not show significant effects within the current model. Moreover, job satisfaction differs significantly by years of service and base salary, suggesting that experience and income function as key moderating factors. The study elucidates the mechanisms through which motivator and hygiene factors influence young workers’ attitudes in the manufacturing sector. Based on these findings, managerial implications are proposed to enhance employee satisfaction and organizational commitment among the youth labor force. These insights provide valuable evidence for enterprises and private corporations to develop effective human resource strategies that foster stable and sustainable workforce development in industrial zones of major Vietnamese urban centers.
