a month, including allowance but not be calculated extra-time working In comparison of the profit and the labor cost of the company, it is easy to find that the percentage is about 20% of the annual turnover of the company
4 Research question
The aim of this research question was to get an insight of employee satisfaction in the company and based on the result, to build a appropriate human resource management strategy As a result, this research will make-a
comprehensive outcome that will correlate human resource management on the
purpose of employee retention Overall, the research questions shall be focused on the term “factors affecting employee job satisfaction” in order to retain
talented staff For that reason, this study aimed at further investigating the
human resource management strategies utilised by a small sized company located in Vietnam Employee satisfaction in the company shall indicate by measurement and evaluation from the analysis of the feedback of the
questionnaire consisting six themes: Wage and financial rewards; Job characteristic; Peer relationship; Superior relationship; Working conditions and Promotion opportunity
5 Limitation of study
Many literatures indicate it is vital for an organisation to be aware of how
and where it is going to gain access for research (Johnson et al, 2007)
Moreover, this is necessary because it is required to make a research relevant
and interesting as well as lower limitation of the investigation (Johnson et al, 2007) Furthermore, Saunders et al (2009) argued that some individuals may not be prepared to participate because of the amount of time and resources needed
Trang 10OPEN UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA
SCHOOL OF LIFELONG LEARNING HUTECH
Đại học Công nghệ Tp.HCM
research studies are time consuming and thus costly for organisations For this
reason, many participants refused to take part in this research due to lack of time However, Cameron and Price (2009) demonstrate that an organisation may
have smaller findings and therefore will only represent smaller population As a result, a researcher must have sufficient time to overcome these limitations and establish credibility (Saunders et al, 2009)
6 Justification of the Study
Nowadays, the study and improvement of employee satisfaction of
organizations becomes a critical question As per opinion of Anaza and Rutherford (2012), although job engagement has been found to achieve a lot of promising outcomes for organisations in search of growth Nonetheless, making workforce engaged at work is not an easy job (Anaza and Rutherford, 2012) Welch (2011) acknowledged that Gallup (2008) engagement index revealed that
67% workforce surveyed were discovered to be either not actively engaged or
disengaged, whilst 33% employees surveyed found engaged at work Therefore,
these results have created widespread interest on this area (Welch, 2011 Anaza & Rutherford, 2012) However, though this research consisted of various
advantages, there are also some limitations that require examination
7 Conclusion
In summary, chapter one is an abstract of the research topic and therefore it
included the research question and the purpose of the study Accordingly, this chapter has provided justifications and limitation of this study along with discussion of structure of the management research Alternatively, in order to better understand the research question “how does a large organisation effectively utilise employee engagement strategies in order to retain talented staff?” a critical analysis of literatures required to fully understand the HRM
strategies and gaps in the literature is presented in the next chapter: Chapter

SCHOOL OF LIFELONG LEARNING HUTECH Đại học Công nghệ Tp.HCM CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW 1 Introduction
In human resource terms, employee satisfaction means employees are contented with their work and position To be contented, they likely enjoy much of their work, they feel management is fair and cares about them, and they are
comfortable in their work environment - both with other staffers, and with the resources they have available to complete their jobs
Besides, as another definition stated, employee satisfaction is the terminology used to describe whether employees are happy and contented and
fulfilling their desires and needs at work Many measures purport that employee
satisfaction is a factor in employee motivation, employee goal achievement, and positive employee morale in the workplace
For decades, human resource professionals have been concerned about workforce job satisfaction This can include elements such as, employees’ level of contentment with their organizational culture, work environment, and overall compensation Employee satisfaction is typically measured through surveys
designed to gather opinions about human resource related issues like bonus
programs, benefits, and work as well as life balance, so human resource leaders
can implement changes designed to increase morale and, theoretically, drive higher retention
In summary, the simple definition about Employee Satisfaction could be stated as follows: the Employee Satisfaction is a measurement of an employee’s “happiness” with current job and conditions; it does not measure how much
effort the employee is willing to expend

2 Applied theory
Nowadays, the concept of employee satisfaction has become a widely popular topic in the management literature as well as in the popular press It is emphasised that employee satisfaction as harnessing employees’ selves to their job further more, it is affirmed that, in engagement employees express themselves physically, emotionally and cognitively when performing their role in organisations Therefore, engaged employees are fully perceived to be present and committed while emphasising their performance in their role Furthermore, it is also defined employee satisfaction as an organisational method aiming to ensure that employees are committed to their workplace’s goals and values It is
also illustrated that through engagement, employees are encouraged to
contribute towards the business success and increase their sense of wellbeing Therefore, employee satisfaction is important because it offers competitive advantage in an organisation and hence organisations are continuously required to engage employees
It is advised that employee satisfaction is important because employers
increasingly understand the importance of their reputation Accordingly,
employee satisfaction ensures employee engagement of the company, and as a
result, it assist the company in increasing employers’ reputation in the marketplace as well as protect them from the risks in relation to HRM policy of the company (Martin et al, 2005)
In today’s global economy, employee satisfaction has become a growing
concern in the literature (Bhatnagar, 2007; Simpson, 2009) Consequently, they
believe that it is an important factor impacting on organisational effectiveness,
competitiveness and innovation (Saks, 2006; Welch, 2011) Nevertheless,
Employees' satisfaction has been rarely investigated in the academic literature and comparatively little evidence found about its backgrounds and outcomes
(Rooy, et al, 2011; Shuck & Wallord, 2010; welch, 2011) Therefore, high level
of employees’ psychological wellbeing and employees’ satisfaction is
Trang 13OPEN UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA
SCHOOL OF LIFELONG LEARNING THUTECH Đại học Công nghệ Tp.HCM
fundamental in delivering vital outcomes which are related to high performing companies (Robertson & Cooper, 2010) In addition, Laschinger et al (2009) also argues that many studies have discovered that employees’ satisfaction has the ability to predicted employee turnover intention, workforce productivity, customer satisfaction and financial performance
Employee satisfaction Customer satisfaction Higher prom
According to Mark graham Brown, (2006), there is a strong link between
employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction and between customer
satisfaction and future revenue
No-one can deny the relationship of employee loyalty and their satisfaction
- how committed is the workforce to the organization and if workers are really
contented with the way of things for gauging their likelihood to stay with the
company One of the main aspects of Human Resource Management is the measurement of employee satisfaction Companies have to make sure that employee satisfaction is high among the workers, which is a precondition for
increasing productivity, responsiveness, and quality and customer service
According to Heskett et al (1994), more satisfied employees, stimulate a chain
of positive actions which end in an improved company In another research it is
said that employee satisfaction influenced employee productivity, absenteeism and retention, Derek R Allen & Merris Wilburn, (2002) The success of any company is directly link to the satisfaction of the employees who embody that company, that retaining talented people is critical to the success of any organization, Freeman, (2005) Studies shows that businesses that excel in employee satisfaction issues reduce turnover by 50% from the norms, increase

customer satisfaction to an average of 95 % & lower labor cost by 12%., Carpitella, (2003) Judge, et al, (1993), on the other hand, mentions that
employee satisfaction is positively correlated with motivation, job involvement,
organizational citizenship behavior, organizational commitment, life satisfaction, mental health, and job performance, and negatively related to absenteeism, turnover, and perceived stress and identify it as the degree to which a person feels satisfied by his/her job
In the construction industry, where the quality of products is dependent on the skill of laborers and onsite supervisors, employees play a significant role in the success and outcome of the product and the company Profit and growth are stimulated directly (and primarily) by customer loyalty Customer loyalty is a direct consequence of customer satisfaction Customer satisfaction is heavily influenced by customer perceptions of the value of services they receive Value
is created by satisfied, loyal and productive employees
Human relations researchers further argue that employee satisfaction
sentiments are best achieved through maintaining a positive social
organizational environment, such as by providing autonomy, participation, and
mutual trust (Likert, 1961)
Employees satisfaction is really important because they can determine collaborative effort Consistent with this reasoning, Likert (1961) has argued that collaborative effort directed towards the organization's goals is necessary for achievement of organizational objectives, with unhappy employees failing to participate (effectively) in such efforts
In a unique study conducted by Harter et al (2002), based on 7,939 business units in 36 organizations, the researchers found positive and substantive correlations between employee satisfaction-engagement and the business unit outcomes of productivity, profit, employee turnover, employee accidents, and
customer satisfaction

SCHOOL OF UFELONG LEARNING Self-fulfillment needs Maslow's hierarchy of needs Physiological needs
Physiological needs are the physical requirements for human survival If these requirements are not met, the human body cannot function properly and will ultimately fail Physiological needs are thought to be the most important;
they should be met first
Safety needs
With their physical needs relatively satisfied, the individual's safety needs
take precedence and dominate behavior In the absence of physical safety, people may (re-)experience post-traumatic stress disorder or transgenerational trauma In the absence of economic safety - due to economic crisis and lack of work opportunities - these safety needs manifest themselves in ways such as a
preference for job security, grievance procedures for protecting the individual from unilateral authority, savings accounts, insurance policies, reasonable disability accommodations, etc This level is more likely to be found in children
because they generally have a greater need to feel safe
Trang 16OPEN UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA
SCHOOL Of LIFELONG LEARNING HUTECH Đại học Công nghệ Tp.HCM
Belongingness and love needs
After physiological and safety needs are fulfilled, the third level of human needs is interpersonal and involves feelings of belongingness Deficiencies within this level of Maslow’s hierarchy - due to hospitalism, neglect, shunning, ostracism, etc - can impact the individual's ability to form and maintain emotionally significant relationships in general
Esteem needs
All humans have a need to feel respected; this includes the need to have self-esteem and self-respect Esteem presents the typical human desire to be accepted and valued by others People often engage in a profession or hobby to gain recognition These activities give the person a sense of contribution or
value Low self-esteem or an inferiority complex may result from imbalances
during this level in the hierarchy People with low self-esteem often need respect
from others; they may feel the need to seek fame or glory However, fame or
glory will not help the person to build their self-esteem until they accept who they are internally Psychological imbalances such as depression can hinder the person from obtaining a higher level of self-esteem or self-respect
Self-actualization
"What a man can be, he must be." This quotation forms the basis of the perceived need for self-actualization This level of need refers to what a person's
full potential is and the realization of that potential Maslow describes this level as the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be Individuals may perceive or focus on this need very specifically In another, the desire may be expressed athletically For others, it may be expressed
in paintings, pictures, or inventions As previously mentioned, Maslow believed that to understand this level of need, the person must not only achieve the previous needs, but master them

3 Employee satisfaction strategies
As stated above and in comparison to the reality, the board of management of the company built the appropriate strategy in human resource management policy There is variety of other employee satisfaction strategies utilised nowadays within organisations Relationship with Colleagues and Manager, Pay and Benefits, Flexible working and Career development Therefore, literature indicates that these methods are commonly practiced in contemporary human resource management to engage and retain talented employees in an
organisation (Bhatnagar, 2007; Luthans & Peterson, 2002) As a result, this
literature review has these six themes in relation to employee satisfaction The policy mainly focuses on the main themes as follows: Wage and financial rewards ep characteristic [Peer relationship | Employee satisfaction [Superior relationship Working conditions [Promotion opportunity
Research suggests that there are a number of contemporary approaches to managing employee satisfaction within businesses today (Butler et al, 2004; Kennedy & Daim, 2010) Kennedy and Daim (2010) suggest that majority
literature reviewed highlighted that there is a recent tendency of employee engagement and its importance at different organisational level Subsequently, in
order to gain continuous success, Medlin and Green (2009) argue that employee satisfaction strategies must be implemented to encourage positive employee

commitment and engagement in the organisation However, the main drivers of employee satisfaction are career opportunities, high level of recognition as well
as performance assessment (Gurman & Saks, 2011; Xu, & Thomas, 2011) Moreover, Lee at al, (2008) argue that regardless of employees’ performance
such as healthcare plans, retirement plans, or insurance plans are provided for their safety However, in contemporary organisations various approaches been used to engage employees and these comprise of childcare services, health club
membership, and financial assistance pragmas (Bhatnagar & Biswas, 2010; Butler et al, 2004; Fry & Breaugh, 2004)
Trang 19OPEN UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA SCHOOL OF LIFELONG LEARNING HUTECH Đại học Công nghệ Tp.HCM CHAPTER ITI RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 1 Introduction
Choosing the suitable methodology is significant for achieving effective
outcomes (Panneerselvam, 2004) This management research had adopted
several sources of data collection methods as part of the pragmatist approach to have a complete understanding of the phenomenon via triangulation (Green et al, 2006) Hence, employees from different departments in the company have contributed towards this research by completing questionnaires Nevertheless, an direct interview with the HR personnel was not able to be carried out because of the characteristic of the company’s business
Literatures support that nowadays questionnaires are commonly used within
business research (Brace, 2008) According to, Bryman and Bell (2007)
questionnaires allow collecting large numerical data on people’s perceptions However, Bryman and Bell (2007) defined a questionnaire as a standard set of
prearranged questions distributed amongst participants Nevertheless, Chieh- Wen et al, (2008) emphasise that through questionnaires a researcher is able to
look at the total responses as a whole and can be broken into sub-groups to compare answers on specific questions Dillman (2007) postulates that this approach allows researchers to gather quantitative data and is one of the most widely used method in research Moreover, Billig (2003) recommends that likert scale is effective if it is used appropriately to answer the research topic
Conversely, Bell (2005) believes that generating good questionnaire is difficult
that helps answering the research question
2 Instrument for research
In this research, the survey questionnaire with closed questions is built
based on the reality of the business in Vietnam According to Bryman & Bell,
2003, the closed questions have their own advantages: easy to process answer; it

enhances the comparability of answers, and makes them easier to show the relationships between variables Finally, closed questionnaire is chosen for this
research
The research questionnaire contains six themes with total 30 questions, each theme consists of five questions A five grade scale was chosen as the rating scale, ranging from ,,strongly disagree“ to ,,strongly agree“ The questions in this research questionnaire are shown in Appendix A hereof
The object of the survey consists of 201 employees exception for 3
members of board of directors 3 Conclusion
Overall, this chapter has outlined importance of the research methodologies for the research Besides, this chapter emphasised suitable method for the research Furthermore, pragmatic paradigm helps achieving better outcome to answer the research question “Factors affecting the employee's satisfaction in
the "2-9" Fire Prevention Equipment Co., Ltd" Moreover, before taking the
research further, validity and reliability as well as ethical consideration were taken into account Ultimately, findings of this research established from the use of these methods are discussed further in the next chapter

In term of “wage and financial rewards", we find that the ratio of "disagree"
and "strongly disagree" lies on the low percentage meanwhile the ratio of
"strongly agree" and "agree" is on the acceptable percentage with 19% and 27% and parallel with the “neutral" on 37%, the data seems indicate the ratio of employee satisfaction belongs to the optimistic level
On view of "Job characteristics", the ratio of "strongly agree" and "sagree" and "neutral" on 26%, 18% and 26% contrast from “strongly disagree" and "disagree" ratio of 13% and 16% The indicator shows a good level It means
that the job characteristics of employees is quite suitable to the ability of workers and staff of the company
On field of "peer relationship", with the percentage of "strongly agree” on
36% and ratio of "agree" and "neutral" on 16% and 18% meanwhile the
"strongly disagree" and "disagree" ratio on 13% and 14% The feedback shows a
friendly working atmosphere in the company The employee satisfaction lies on
the very good level
It seems that unlike the “peer relationship", the "superior relationship" in
the company lies on the acceptable level in field of employee satisfaction with
the percentage from "strongly agree" to “strongly disagree", step by step, reduces from 28% down to 14%
Like the term of "wage and financial rewards", the employee satisfaction in
term of “working condition" reaches on peak of optimism, at 37% of "strongly agree" and significantly reduces down to 9%
The term of “promotion opportunity" seems to be the most pessimistic The ratio between "strongly agree" - "strongly disagree", "agree" - "disagree" lies on the horizontal level, at 18%-16% and 21% meanwhile the percentage of
"neutral" on the 25% This shows a fairly ratio to the employee satisfaction in the company's policy in human resource management
