firms in Vietnam Chapter 1: Introduction I.1 Overview about the Vietnamese economic and labor in Vietnam Vietnam economic, in recently, been facing to the problem that growth rate of GDP is slow down Economic growth fell sharply in the period from 2006 to 2011.GDP in 2006 was 8.23%; a 0.23% increase was recorded in the following year reached 8.46%.Next two years 2009 and 2010, the GDP growth rate has fallen sharply and bottomed out in 2010 at 5.32%.The economy recovered and the GDP growth rate increased to 6.78 percent before falling to 5.89% as the summary of Le Xuan Nghia (2012).With developing economies such as Vietnam, the GDP growth rate below 7% is indicated for the slow growth and signs of instability in the economy Three factors such as capitals, labor and productivities contribute the different proposition in the Vietnam economic The contribution of labor into the growth rate of GDP has slightly decreased in recently year According to the statistics on the proposition of factors on the growth of GDP of Bui Trinh (2012 ) and cited by Le Xuan Nghia (2012), the contribution rate of labor factors into growth rate of GDP of Vietnam had decreased about 5% in 2006 to 2010 in comparison with period 2000 to 2005 Total factor of productivity had also gone down deeply On the other hand, capital factor had become the main factor in the growth of the economy In developing countries, the economy relies heavily on the development of investment dynamics are easily hurt when economic events occur The government and policy makers need to create a driving force for development from the labor factor Moreover, today, in the era of knowledge-based edge elements and creative labor has become the main factor of competition between economies The strength of the economy is conducted from power of the enterprises in the economy To get the strong business and competitive with foreign firms, especially in the context of our country joined the World Trade Organization; Vietnamese firms need to improve further capacity competition and firm innovation in the field of professional activity In order to keep pace with the requirements of the new situation, enterprises need to focus on solving the internal problems of the business such as technology, management, labor productivity and especially the need to further improve employee motivation and their retaining The success of an organization, during the time of history, is developed by the goods relations with employees by fulfill their needs and expectation, in a return, to apply the rules and regulations, work under the standard and achieved goals (Khan, et al., 2010) Management has to address and understand employees' needs and expectation, in order to maintain the high growth rate in business Many Vo Trung Tinh Critical factors affecting employees’ motivation of manufacturing firms in Vietnam scholars had determined many theories and tools to satisfy this aim and help management to build strong relationship with their staffs.Managers discuss how to motivate their employees in order to increase productivity as well as the moral at the workplace Each individual is different and motivated differently and is depends on what stage in life as person is at Motivation has been defined as "the amount of effort that an employee is willing to put into work to accomplish an organizationally valued task" (Phatak, Bhagat & Kashlak, 2005, p.418), but it can be defined as "the processes that count for an individual's intensity, direction, persistence of effort toward attending a goal" (Robbins, 2005, p.170) Motivation is not something that is observable in the organization ( Phatak, et la 2005) and most managers not understand what motivates their employees because they not aware that individuals in the organization has unique motives for working (Hiam, 2003) Motivation is a key organizational concept, organizations are willing to hire and continuously seek motivated employees and managers with ability to motivate others Most of people think rewards will motivate people better, but due to culture differences in the world, it is important to recognize that rewards might be valued differently (Francesco & Gold, 2005) Most studies in the past have been conducted on job satisfaction intrinsic work motivation and these studies have focused on specific countries or even specific firms The outcomes of these studies indicated that there are differences on motivation of employees based on their characteristics such as gender, people color, age, etc.(Enskildsen, Kristensen & Westlund, 2002) Motivating for key people is a foundation leaded to the success in business of organization There are lots of paper and researches over the world on employee motivation Although the organization has policies to encourage for all employees of the company, managers of firms needs to customize and adjust the policy to adapt with different demographic of employees because they own the differences in characteristics, psychologies and variety of needs Therefore,a customized HR practices need to be carried out to reach to gaps inunique HR strategyfor many group of employees in organization Each employee should be encouraged and motivated by different ways and methods Kim Dung (2005) figured out six factors to motivate employees who work in small enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam However, Kim Dung and other scholars has not investigated in different weight of motivating factors affecting to motivationadapted with different demographics of employees in a focused industry,like to manufacturing industry,as well as in Vietnam.Manufacturing industry is one of leading industries in Vietnamese economy in some next years Therefore, the author chose this industry to conduct further investigation on employee motivation Moreover, the goal is this Vo Trung Tinh Critical factors affecting employees’ motivation of
