In the context of controversy surrounding the issue of increasing maximum overtime hour in Vietnam, the study was conducted to clarify the effects of overtime on workers' intention to leave their jobs This research aims to explain the relationship between overtime hour, burnout, engagement and intention to leave organization The study was conducted by online surveys targeting workers who are working in manufacturing companies in Vietnam There were 465 responses, but only 139 valid questionnaires were selected for data analysis Results obtained from linear and quadratic analysis have drawn conclusions about both positive and negative roles of working overtime hour All hypotheses describing relationships between variables including working overtime hour, burnout, engagement and intention to leave organization are accepted There are hypotheses matching result from previous research in the Job demand resource model on the relationship between burn out, engagement and intention to leave In addition, the study confirmed both the positive and negative roles of over time hour: Working overtime hour has positive relationship with burn out which lead to negative impact on employee well-being such as intention to leave; working overtime hour have quadratic relationship with engagement which reduce intention to leave The findings may suggest managers to arrange and allocate overtime appropriately, as well as the government to introduce overtime laws and resolve existing disputes LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Table of Contents CHAPTER 1:

4.1: Linear graph of the impact of Working overtime on Burn out 41 Graph 4.2: Quadratic graph of the impact of Working overtime on Engagement 43 vi LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com we can see that employees are burn out from working more than 40 hours per month This level is still quite high compared to the maximum level prescribed by the government However, the study‟s target respondent are those under 30 years old, so this is understandable Because this age often has good health and ability to work at higher intensity than older ages However, the results showed that overtime hour affected only 16.2% of burn out This demonstrates that there is also many other factors dominate the exhaustion of workers, not merely number of hours For example: distributed or concentrated overtime arrangement, breaks time for employees to regain strength, whether there are organizational support in nutrition or the work environment to improve health for workers or not Working overtime hour has quadratic relationship with engagement This hypothesis is different from previous studies on the impact of overtime on engagement of Beckers et al (2004), but it was made based on practice issue that occurred in the context of Vietnamese workers Watanabe & Yamauchi (2018) claimed that involuntary overtime work impacts negatively on mental health and work engagement In this research context, workers also often work overtime as assigned by manager, it is less likely that workers can voluntarily or arrange their overtime themselves However, the finding from quadratic regression of this study were different from that of Watanabe & Yamauchi This difference may stem from the study subjects In this paper, target respondent is a worker at manufacturing company They are often people without professional knowledge, low income, so they usually want to work more to increase income Meanwhile, research subjects of Watanabe & Yamauchi are nurses They are people having professional knowledge and stable income, but the nurse job requires a lot of time and night duty so may be they not have much desire to work overtime but want to spend more time with their family and themselves As such, in this research, the engagement to organization will increase when working overtime with a low level The reason is that the wages of the workers are quite low, if they only work the usual number of time, it is hard to cover their living In order to get additional income, for simple 51 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com jobs of workers when the salary is calculated by working time, overtime is the optimal solution If they can get more money from overtime, they can meet their demand and feel more engaged to their work However, when the overtime is too much, it will lead to an imbalance in life, They not have enough time to take care of yourself and your family, leading to dissatisfaction and disengagement to work Moreover, when the overtime is too high, it cause exhaustion and also contribute to reduce engagement Based on the graph 4.2 we can see that engagement increases when employees work around from less than 2.5 hours/week to less than 7.5 hours/week (from less than 10 hours/month to less than 30 hours/month) Beyond this time, engagement will decrease Amazingly, this is in line with the current situation where the government stipulates that organizations can conduct working overtime within 30 hours a month However, overtime hour only explains 36% of engagement According to the interviews with workers, not only the income that makes them want to stay in company, but other welfare policies also greatly influence the worker‟s decision to work at the company For example: Policy for health insurance, social insurance, the care for the spiritual life of trade unions, moreover, long-term job stability compared to free precarious jobs outside 5.3 Implication Research results show that to reduce workers' intention to quit, we can: increase worker engagement with businesses, reduce worker exhaustion and adjust working overtime reasonably: To reduce the burnout and ITL of workers:  Looking at the graph 4.1, you can see that working around over 40 hours per month and more will make employees physically and mentally exhausted Therefore, overtime should not exceed 40 hours per month to ensure employee health  Enterprises actively improve meals for workers The government sets some basic standards for meals at company regard to calories, nutrition or food safety 52 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com To overcome malnutrition and disease among workers, many health experts say that it is necessary to improve the quality of meals and improve the working environment In Vietnam, there is currently no law on meals for workers There are no specific standards for a meal for workers to have enough energy to work during the day, so when poisoning occurs, there is no legal basis to bind the responsibility for anyone  Organizing periodic health examinations, to ensure workers are detected disease promptly and take measures to treat and recover soon Avoiding workers having to work in exhausted health conditions, which will affect not only workers themselves and the quality of work as well as the benefits of the business in the long term  Arranging overtime appropriately Organization should allocates overtime scatteredly so that workers can have time to recover energy Having reasonable break time during shift work also important To improve engagement and decrease ITL of worker:  The government may consider the results of this study and keep the law for workers' maximum overtime of 30 hours per month Because working less than 30 hours a month will make workers retain high engagement with the company  There should be a clear benefit system for all types of insurance as well as pensions for workers Organizations should show their long-term commitment and job stability to workers and explain clearly their benefit in the future  Organizations like unions or managers themselves should have activities that are more concerned about the spiritual life of workers The company should celebrate some union activities such as sport competition, small trip for workers in order to improve solidarity and make them engaged to the company 53 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 5.4 Limitation and future research direction The scope of the research is quite narrow The research aims to worker in Vietnamese manufacturing companies, so the research results may not be accurate in other contexts, when the economy is more developed or more primitive, or conducted in companies that have a different business model than manufacturing Other author can conduct similar studies in other contexts to retest the above relationships and compare with these results Research objects is aim for workers This object has feature different from other high-qualified employees in terms of demands, perceptions, education, mind set, behavior, etc Therefore, research results when applied to other objects may be biased.The sample is only 139 respondents Even it reach minimum standard for measurement, it is still quite small and narrow To avoid the impact of demographic factors on the study subjects, target respondent are female workers, under 30 years old Therefore, when the research object is expanded, the results may change The further research direction may be to test the model with a wider respondent to see how the demographic factor affects the relationships in the model In JDR model, burn out and engagement also play a role of mediator between job characteristics and organizational outcome Job demand buffers the impact of job resource and engagement, while job resource meditates negative affect of job demand on burn out Other authors can also delve into these mediating and moderating effect In addition, recently Bakker already mentioned the influence of personal resource on some relationships on JDR model, people interested in this topic can also study the impact of personal resources on working overtime and related relationships 54 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com REFERENCE Alexander, J., Lichtenstein, R., Oh, H., & Ullman, E (1998) A
