ISB staff did helped, supported with their best for convenience of MBUS 2012 I appreciate very much for their contribution to my present result ABSTRACT Garment industry in Vietnam has developed impressively and has quite highly demanded in employing labor force Human resources management in this field is very important to maintain the stable producing It contains many characteristics which may impact to the workers to feel more satisfaction and perform their job better Keep the staff satisfy to work better, more efficient is always one of business goals, especially in this special industry This study aims to investigate which factor affecting to worker‟s job satisfaction and how the effective of union effect to worker‟s job satisfaction through these factors The result showed that indirect compensation, working environment and relationship with supervisor factors effect to worker‟s relationship Among three effect factors, relationship with the supervisor has the most important to job satisfaction and following is working environment and indirect compensation The additional finding in this research is effectiveness of union has a moderating affect to the relationship between job satisfaction and independent variables included indirect compensation and Working Environment This finding will help to strengthen the effectiveness of Union to structure and operate effectively to satisfy their union members Contents ACKNOWLEDGE ABSTRACT CHAPTER INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research background .2 1.2 Research problem: 1.3 Research objective 1.4 Scope: 1.5 Significant

sustainable growth over the past years, playing an important role in national socio-economic development Demand for labor in the sector is huge Every year, the sector gives employment for 2.2 million people, generating income for the workers Export value of textile and garment products in recent years has been ranking number two in the country‟s total export revenue, earning a major source of foreign exchange and contributing significantly to Vietnam‟s gross national product and budget According to government statistic office Vietnam, Labor of Vietnam Textile industry is not focused, because over 70% of the textile enterprises are small and medium enterprises, which number less than 300 employees Nearly 20% of enterprises employed from 300 workers to 1000 workers, the factories have 1000 workers now come up only 6% With such dispersion, if not linked to the training activities will be difficult to implement efficiently Textile industry workers increased speedily and concentrated mainly in the non-state enterprises, then in the enterprise with 100% foreign capital These two types currently attract two thirds of the entire sector workers Often the majority of these businesses today tend to attract for new labor, but not care deeply in keeping the current ones Lead to a scramble for labor among firms in the sector has increased at an alarming rate; the concern was their ability to leave the company is too big due to dissatisfaction Due to the labor requirements of the garment industry increased very fast response to worker satisfaction; this industry is actually in lack of labor Besides that, the labor force is still weak not only at professional level but also at management one If we not solve this problem rapidly, it will be hard to compete and win on the market So, it is really necessary for the industry to know the characteristic of labor force and orient for a new period (Ministry of Industry, Vietnam Textile and Garment Group, 2013) This study is to identify the factors make workers feel satisfaction and perform their work better then can affect to the economic and social development of countries involved 1.2 Research problem: Because job satisfaction is serious in organizations, the study of what satisfies workers is increasingly important Therefore, the goal of this research project was to answer the overarching question: How are workers across satisfied at work? Job satisfaction is important in every worker‟s life Workers spend more than thirds of our waking hours at work which means that if we are not happy with their jobs, they are also unhappy with their personal lives Workers who find satisfaction in their jobs are more enthusiastic when it comes to performing their responsibilities Job satisfaction definitely plays an important role in determining our efficiency and productivity Job satisfaction gives them motivation and helps them become more optimistic no matter what challenge they may face at work It encourages workers to always give their best shot in everything they In addition, a person who is truly satisfied with his or her career life helps create a more positive work environment Workers who have job satisfaction can help boost the morale of his or her co-employees and will encourage them to be optimistic about their job Many experts believe that job satisfaction trends can affect labor market behavior and influence work productivity, work effort, employee absenteeism and staff turnover Moreover, job satisfaction is considered a strong predictor of overall individual well-being (Diaz-Serrano and Cabral Vieira, 2005), as well as a good predictor of intentions or decisions of employees to leave a job (Gazioglu and Tansel, 2002) Beyond the research literature and studies, job satisfaction is also important in everyday life Organizations have significant effects on the people who work for them and some of those effects are reflected in how people feel In addition, measures of job quality seem to be useful predictors of future labor market behavior Workers‟ decisions about whether to work or not, what kind of job to accept or stay in, and how hard to work are all likely to depend in part upon the worker‟s subjective evaluation of their work, in other words on their job satisfaction.(Clark, 1998) Second one, this research is to find out the union impact to job satisfaction The goal was to investigate the mediating role of compensation, relationship with supervisor, feedback and working environment versus relationship between union and job satisfaction For some country, people concern on the effective operation of union, it is speculated that if clothing factory workers were free to choose their own union and were socialized with regard to the functions of a union, it would be doubtful whether they would still be satisfied with the garment workers union (Chetty, 1983) 1.3 Research objective - To determine factors influence worker satisfaction in garment companies - To determine the moderating impact of union to the relationship of worker‟s job satisfaction to direct and indirect compensation, working environment, relationship with supervisor and feedback 1.4 Scope: - Garment factories in Vietnam - Subject: workers in the garment factories in Vietnam 62 APPENDIX B: PROCESS RESULT Run MATRIX procedure: ***************** PROCESS Procedure for SPSS Release 2.13 *************** Written by Andrew F Hayes, Ph.D www.afhayes.com Documentation available in Hayes (2013) www.guilford.com/p/hayes3 ************************************************************************** Model = Y = JSF X = RWC M = UNI Sample size 204 ************************************************************************** Outcome: JSF Model Summary R R-sq MSE F df1 df2 p 6638 4406 1897 60.3724 3.0000 200.0000 0000 Model coeff se t p LLCI ULCI 4.0441 0368 109.9905 0000 3.9716 4.1166 UNI 3188 0514 6.2046 0000 2175 4201 RWC 0934 0491 1.9041 0583 -.0033 1902 int_1 0144 0664 2164 8289 -.1166 1453 constant Interactions: int_1 RWC X UNI ************************************************************************* 63 Conditional effect of X on Y at values of the moderator(s): UNI Effect se t p LLCI ULCI -1.0457 0784 0617 1.2710 2052 -.0432 2001 0000 0934 0491 1.9041 0583 -.0033 1902 1.0457 1085 1032 1.0509 2946 -.0950 3120 Values for quantitative moderators are the mean and plus/minus one SD from mean Values for dichotomous moderators are the two values of the moderator ************************************************************************** Data for visualizing conditional effect of X on Y Paste text below into a SPSS syntax window and execute to produce plot DATA LIST FREE/RWC UNI JSF BEGIN DATA -.9401 -1.0457 3.6371 0000 -1.0457 3.7108 9401 -1.0457 3.7845 -.9401 0000 3.9563 0000 0000 4.0441 9401 0000 4.1320 -.9401 1.0457 4.2756 0000 1.0457 4.3775 9401 1.0457 4.4795 END DATA GRAPH/SCATTERPLOT=RWC WITH JSF BY UNI ******************** ANALYSIS NOTES AND WARNINGS ************************* Level of confidence for all confidence intervals in output: 95.00 NOTE: The following variables were mean centered prior to analysis: RWC UNI 64 NOTE: All standard errors for continuous outcome models are based on the HC3 estimator END MATRIX -
