EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This research provides an analysis and evaluation of the current situation of
personnel fluctuations in Truong Thanh Vietnam Group Joint Stock Company from findingfactors of work that affect employee's leaving decisions The idea for this topic comes from
the fact that the turnover rate of employees in the group has been alarmingly high in the
recent 2018 - 2019 period, raising many concerns for the management and HumanResources Department of the group Therefore, with the analysis and evaluation strategy
of the Human Resources Department, the author participated in the research to find out the
causes and solutions for this situation of personnel fluctuation
By researching from the online resources and previous studies about the reasons for
the employees' leave as well as applying it to the company, the author tends to approach
and research this topic The analysis method is a method of surveying and investigating
over 150 samples with job factors affecting the decision to leave the job of TTVN Group
employees Moreover, the author also takes advantage of the data collected from theHuman Resources Department of the company to synthesize and analyze more visually
The results of the initial data collection and analysis show that the existence of a group of
factors has a direct impact on employee satisfaction and their decision to quit
The results of the analysis indicate that some of the current factor groups are well
controlled and implemented by the company and have a positive impact on employees such
as "Nature of work; Working environment/condition; Brand and corporate culture"
Besides, other factor groups such as "Salary, bonus, and benefit; Training, coaching,assessment; Working relationships" are facing many problems in the working environment
of TTVN Group This group of factors has seriously affected employee dissatisfaction,
leading to an uncontrolled leaving from work at the company
In general, the analysis results only come from the author's perspective in the
process of recognizing and assessing the status of personnel fluctuations of the company
The need for further studies is underpinned by the fact that the results of this report are
limited by small survey sample sizes on the total number of employees of TTVN Group

2.1 The definition of Human Resource
Human resources are understood as all the physical and mental abilities of thehuman being shown in the production labor process It is also considered human labor - themost valuable resource in the production factors of businesses In the context that societyis developing towards the knowledge economy, the factor of human knowledge is
increasingly important Therefore, knowing how to exploit this resource properly will help
businesses develop sustainably; increasingly create more material wealth for society, andmeet the increasing needs of people (Source: Assoc.Prof Dr Tran Kim Dung, HumanResource Management, page 4, Statistical Publishing House, 2006)
2.2 Human Resource Management2.2.1 The definition of Human Resource Management
There are many ways to understand human resource management However, in anyaspect, human resources management is still an activity of an organization to attract, build,develop, use, evaluate and preserve a workforce following public requirements of the
organization both in terms of quality and quantity
The object of human resource management is employees as individuals, officials,and employees in the organization and issues related to them such as work, rights,obligations in the organization
2.2.2 The importance of Human Resource Management
Any business carrying out production and business activities must meet two factors,namely human and material resources In particular, human resources play an extremelyimportant and decisive role in the existence and development of enterprises Professor Dr
Trang 19Nguyen Thanh Huyen — 11162433 — Business English 58B
C C Thow, Economist as well as Administrator of the MasSachusett Institute ofTechnology (MIT), said: “The key to the company's survival and development is its people.They are highly educated, well-trained, ethical, cultured, and knowledgeable people whoknow how to work effectively”.
Human resource management creates the adjustment and harmony of people in thecollective, thereby forming the cultural face of the company, which contributes todetermining the success of the company Human resource management research helpsmanagers learn how to deal with others, know how to ask questions, listen, find a commonlanguage with employees, and evaluate employees well Moreover, they also know how toentice staff to be passionate about their work, improve organizational efficiency
2.2.3 The function of Human Resource Management
For Vietnam, a country with a transforming economy with low technological levels,
an unstable situation, the State's policy is that "the development process must be done bypeople and for human resources" Therefore, human resource management is a system ofphilosophies, policies, functional activities about attracting, training - developing, andmaintaining people of an organization to achieve maximum results for both organizationsand employees
The functions of human resources management are divided as follows:
e Attracting human resources: is to ensure a sufficient number of employees with
appropriate qualifications for the work of the business
e Training and developing human resources: is improving the necessary capacity
or skills to complete the work of the employees and create conditions for theemployees to maximize their capacity Besides, HRM has to retrain activities foremployees when there is a change in production and business needs or technologicalprocesses and innovative technologies
e Maintaining human resources: is focusing on stimulating and motivating
employees to maintain and effectively use human resources in the organization,including activities: job performance evaluation, labor remuneration andmaintenance, development of good labor relations in the enterprise
e Stimulating, motivating, and expressing in activities: is building and managing
the system of wage scales and payrolls, Establishing and applying policies onsalaries, benefits, promotions, discipline These are effective measures to attract and
maintain a skilled workforce for businesses
e Building and strengthening labor relations: is related to activities to improve the
working environment and working relationships such as signing labor contracts,
Trang 20Nguyen Thanh Huyen — 11162433 — Business English 58B
settling complaints or labor disputes, improving the workplace, health insurance,and labor safety
If the business can deal with the labor relations functions successfully, it will helpthem create a collective atmosphere and good traditional values, as well as make employeessatisfied with their jobs and businesses (Source: Tran Kim Dung (2006), Human ResourceManagement, Statistical Publishing House, Ho Chi Minh City)
2.3 The satisfaction of employee with work2.3.1 The definition of satisfaction with work
Employee satisfaction is "the extent to which employees have a positive sense of
direction in organizational employment" (Source: James L Price, 1997, p.470)
Staff satisfaction is one of the criteria for assessing the success of a business Onceemployees feel satisfied with the job, they will work more effectively and more closely
with the company On the other hand, improving employee satisfaction will maintain thestability of human resources, reduce operating costs, and increase business productivity
Employee satisfaction with work is defined as measuring in both aspects: generaljob satisfaction and satisfaction with component elements at work Improving employeesatisfaction is not just about raising wages Many simple, low-cost measures help managersimprove employee satisfaction and increase employee commitment
2.3.2 The relationship between employee satisfaction and their leaving decision
There are many theories about the satisfaction of employees with work and beapproached in many different forms However, the doctrines all have the same conclusion,that improving employee satisfaction will result in employee loyalty and the efficiency of
the organization's human resources maintenance
2.3.2.1, Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of needs
Maslow's theory states that people have five desires that are satisfied and arrangedin a certain order The satisfaction of the needs for individuals will go in a hierarchy fromlow to high, and when each of these needs is met, the next needs become more important.Therefore, Maslow believes that managers need to understand which rank the employeerequires to improve their exact satisfaction
Trang 21Nguyen Thanh Huyen — 11162433 — Business English 58B
morality,
creativity, spontaneity, problem solving, lack of prejudice,
2.3.2.2 The two-factor theory of Frederick Herzberg
Herzberg said that an individual's relationship to the job is a fundamental elementand a person's attitude toward work is most likely to determine the success or failure of anorganization Herzberg has scrutinized the question "What do people want from their job?"and through research, he divided the factors of job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction into
two groups:
e Group 1: includes the key elements to create job satisfaction such as success,
recognition of achievement, the inner nature of the job, labor responsibility,promotion Those are factors that belong to the job and the staff's personal needs.When these needs are satisfied, it will create job satisfaction
e Group 2: includes elements of the organizational environment such as policies and
management regimes of the company, job supervision, wages, human relations,working conditions If these factors are positive, they will help prevent jobdissatisfaction but not enough to create satisfaction
From the research and theories of the previous scientists, it can be seen that twotrends are formed from the satisfaction factor in the work of employees as follows:
e Trend 1: if employees are satisfied with the work as well as other elements of the
company, they will work effectively and have long-term attachment with the
company.
10
Trang 22Nguyen Thanh Huyen — 11162433 — Business English 58B
e Trend 2: if employees lack satisfaction with factors at work and the company, they
will be discouraged and work ineffectively, leading to the decision to leave the
company.
2.4 Personnel Fluctuation2.4.1 The definition of Personnel Fluctuation
Personnel fluctuation is defined by the ability of the organization to attract newemployees, to maintain and retain members effectively
Personnel fluctuation numerically expresses a natural phenomenon of employee
dynamics within an organization by periodically calculating the number of staff departures(layoffs, resignations, transfers, promotions) relative to the number of necessary employees
for certain departments or the entire organization or jobs, within a certain timeframe(usually annually but also monthly or quarterly)
Severance is a decision to terminate the labor relationship between the employeeand the organization Severance decisions may have come from causes such as discipline,production economics of the enterprise, or personal reasons
There are three types of job severance: downsizing payroll, layoff, and voluntaryresignation
e Downsizing payroll: is the termination of labor relations between workers and
businesses due to the impact of business results such as reducing production scale,over-staffing, reorganizing the company, and so on
e Layoff: is the employee who is fired for a job discipline or does not meet the health
condition needed for the job requirement.e Voluntary resignation: is the form of severance due to the individual cause of the
employee Reasons for resignation often come from dissatisfaction with the factors
in the work and business environment
In the study of company personnel fluctuations, we focus on analyzing employeeswho voluntarily resign because of personal reasons This is the most fluctuating personnelforce based on the impact of many factors that will be analyzed in the following section
For any enterprise or organization, an overall staff turnover rate can be calculated.It is expressed by a so-called “fluctuation index” (Chraif, 2013):
1s the number of employees who left during the year x 100%
` the average number of employees during the year '
Conclusion by Dr John Sullivan said that the index of personnel fluctuations will
represent problems that businesses are facing, as follows:
11
Trang 23Nguyen Thanh Huyen — 11162433 — Business English 58B
® Above 10%
Normally, if the obtained index is of high value, the fluctuation will have a negativemeaning of "lost" of human resources, which signally indicates an error in the managementof human resources
e About 10%
This index shows the level of stability in the personnel structure of the company.This shows that the company is well controlled in recruiting as well as maintaining afriendly working environment for its employees Besides, the rate of employee renewal isnot much and necessary to suit the development of the business
e Below 10%
A very low index is not favorable either, as turnover has some notable
disadvantages: offering the difficulties of replacing low-performing employees, makingdecrease innovation and diversification by attracting young or highly specialized
personnel, etc
2.4.2 The effect of personnel fluctuation
It can even be stated that a low level of personnel fluctuation is necessary withinany organization, as excessive stability of the workforce can lead to negative effects, suchas methodological immobility and resistance to modernization However, if the index istoo high, this is considered an undesirable impact that is causing useless losses to thebusiness :
e Human resources difficulties
The unexpected leave of employees will take the "gaps" in the business, especially
when the company is developing, which will put a lot of pressure on the business At the
same time, the business must quickly recruit new employees to continue the work Thisaction will make the company costly and they may have to pay higher salaries but notguarantee the quality of employees
