- Income: One of the main factors leading to employee satisfaction is income The salary that the restaurant pays depends on the number of working hours of employees with part- time employees, which is 35,000 VND/hour, which is quite high compared to the common ground in Ho Chi Minh City In addition, tips sent by customers will be summed up and divided equally among all service staff on that working day to create fairness for all

- Manager: There is no distance between superiors and subordinates Always support to teach enthusiastically and understand the difficulties that employees face to create a friendly, open and united working environment to build a strong restaurant

The collective enthusiastic support from participants leads to a notable average rating of 3,9 for this query This rating aligns with the influential research by Hackman and Oldham (1976), highlighting the significant influence of elements such as task diversity, autonomy, and skill utilization in nurturing an individual's feelings of achievement and personal development This elevated rating serves as evidence of an organizational setting that not only acknowledges the importance of matching tasks with employees’ abilities but also actively fosters an environment of involvement and contentment This aligns with the core tenets of the Job Characteristics Theory

@ JS2: ”I am satisfied with my earning from my current job”

Based on an average score of 4.0, it can be observed that the level of employee satisfaction with the current income is quite high This indicates that they perceive the salary they receive as proportional to what they invest in their work This score also reflects consideration for factors such as personal financial needs, industry standards, and individual expectations
