Identifying factors affecting the commitment of male and female employees at construction companies in vietnam

Abstract

ABSTRACT:

This paper identifies the factors affecting the commitment of male and female employees in construction companies in Vietnam. Research data are collected using a survey questionnaire and processed based on statistical analyses. The results are: male employees’ commitment focuses on working environment, corporate culture, and corporate brand, while female employees’ commitment focuses on salary and remuneration, learning and development, corporate culture, training management, and corporate branding. In addition, the results also show that female
employees have more commitment to their company than male employees (the percentage of women which have not yet switched companies is 39.58% compared to 34.57% for men). However, when there was an offer from another company with better treatment, female employees decided to switch companies more than male employees (the percentage of women immediately switching companies is 41.67% compared to 25.93% for men).

Key words: Male employees; female employees; commitment; construction company; Vietnam.
