of employees at Trung Nguyen coffee From there, directors and managers at Trung Nguyen group can find solutions to improve human practice within company to increase the level of job satisfaction of employees, because the more satisfied employees are, the more perceived value the company can receive Recommendation Pay Satisfaction is positively related to Job Satisfaction, it means that employees at Trung Nguyen coffee satisfied with their current salaries because the pay they receive is equivalent to the job which is not overload, stressful, or under-pressure So, they agree with their first salary on contract However, Trung Nguyen group should have a policy to review salary annually and use KPI to evaluate and reward employee’s performance, especially to Supervisors and Managers when they resigned labor contracts in order to retain these well trained and qualified leaders Supervisor Support is positively related to Job Satisfaction Therefore, L&D Manager should create opportunities to increase the interaction among employees in the coffee shop, offer separately for each position and job rotation in the workplace Furthermore, employees should have regular training courses, briefing from L&D Manager to improve employees’ skills and knowledge The more support an employee receives from his manager, the more efficiently he works Student: Nguyen Ngoc Duc (ID:19376) Business Research Methods Page 40 of 52 Empowerment at Work and Perceived Importance of Workplace Values have positive relationship with Job Satisfaction So, Trung Nguyen should maximize employees’ satisfaction and give them opportunities to show up themselves as well as to motivate and to promote employees in the work The store manager should set the rule and standards for personnel work clearly and maintain good working environment in the coffee shops Limitation of the research The research has some limitation due to short time only in weeks, and with a small number of employees, 270 people who are working at the coffee shops, not the total employees of Trung Nguyen group Besides, the results can’t reflect truly the nature of work because the survey is done with the working people, not the supervisors and store managers who resigned and left Trung Nguyen coffee Student: Nguyen Ngoc Duc (ID:19376) Business Research Methods Page 41 of 52 REFERENCES Alderfer, C (1969) An
