1 The urgency of the topic
Every human resource is always an invaluable asset of any organization from state management to private enterprises, from a small locality to a large country The integration leads to the rise of enterprises of all economic types that have made the labor market rapidly formed One sign that is easy to see is the increasing mobility of enterprises among enterprises The situation of highly qualified and qualified employees often moves to high-wage places, better remuneration now not only happens in sectors such as banking, telecommunications, information technology , which is becoming a common problem, hurting most businesses
A successful and efficient business always thanks to the contribution of good and loyal staff Therefore, to attract and maintain the human resources of managers
to implement human resource planning, change the salary, bonus policy, social welfare, etc and also ANSV Co., Ltd must be an exception However, managers are still unable to avoid the departure of employees According to the wage labor report of ANSV Co., Ltd., the total number of unemployed workers in 2018 is 78,
of which professional and skilled employees account for 25% of the total number of employees who leave, within the first 6 months of 2018 this figure accounted for about 35%
So what is the reason why employees of ANSV Co., Ltd are no longer attached to the enterprise? What factors affect employee loyalty to the company? Is the company's salary, bonus, social welfare, working environment, corporate culture, leadership style, influencing their departure and leaders really care to the rights of workers? Because of this concern, I chose the topic "Factors influencing the employee’s loyalty at ANSV Co., Ltd." to conduct research on employee loyalty
to ANSV Co., Ltd, with the desire to contribute a small part in completing policies
to attract, maintain and develop the human resources of the company
2 Overview of research situation
Studies of employee loyalty issues are seen on many perspectives and other
Trang 13loyalty, solutions to maintain and enhance employee loyalty to the organization Some typical research projects such as:
2.1 Situation of research abroad
In Aon Consulting's research is done annually on a national scale such as the Commitment @ work study in the US since 1997, in Canada since 1999, in the UK since 2000 and in Australia since 2002 shows that The close relationship between employee satisfaction and their attachment to the organization Aon Consulting applied terrific theory to demand Maslow on the condition of the modern economy and said that to enhance employee engagement with the organization, needs to satisfy the needs of employees:
In the United States, employee satisfaction needs are categorized by: salary and welfare, change management, training and development, organizational culture and development path, balancing life
In Canada and Australia the satisfaction of employees' needs is categorized by: Safety, reward, social - loved, balanced work-life
Research by Shruti and Nirmala (2016) investigates the impact of human resource management practices on employee organizational commitment in different sectors in India Research shows how the practice of human resource management brings advantages to employee commitment to organizational goals in
a global competitive market The results show the elements of advancement, satisfaction, job characteristics, communication, satisfaction of leaders, job satisfaction, external exchange, internal and external exchange and internal rewards are positively and significantly related to cohesion among employees
Meyer et al (2000) also provided in their general analysis the results of research on the causal factors of organizational loyalty These factors include: leave of work and awareness of leaving the organization, absence, work performance, civic behavior
in the organization, stress and conflict between work and family; In addition, they presented an additional element related to workers, namely health and welfare
2.2 Researches in our country
Research by Tran Thi Kim Dung and Nguyen Thi Mai Trang (2007) argued
Trang 14that the organization's leadership and cultural style affects the loyalty of specific employees:
New leaders in substance affect employee loyalty, but this is not true in foreign-invested companies, many employees still achieve good results but cannot withstand the pressure working too high for a long time had to accept to switch to another company
Innovation culture: supporting with creating a supportive, goal-oriented working environment, creating excitement for everyone has a very good effect to retain employees It has a positive effect on employee loyalty in all three types of business ownership
Administrative culture: administrative culture does not affect employee loyalty in domestic enterprises but has an impact on employee loyalty in foreign-invested enterprises When applying to foreign businesses, workers expect to work
in a professional environment, if this is not achieved, workers can easily leave the business On the contrary, when agreeing to work for domestic enterprises, workers are more likely to mimic and accept the status of administrative desks, non-professional manners and practice of adapting to businesses
Vu Khac Dat (2008) studied the factors affecting loyalty of office workers in southern Vietnam Airlines also based on the research model of Tran Thi Kim Dung but there are some adjustments accordingly With the condition of Southern Vietnam office Airlines, the author publishes the following six elements: Nature of work, training-development, assessment, remuneration (salary and welfare), working environment (combining two elements of Colleagues and working environment), leadership Research results show that the most powerful factor affecting employee loyalty is the environmental factor Both leadership and work factors have a positive impact on employees' overall satisfaction as well as their loyalty to the company
Do Phu Tran Tinh et al (2012) surveyed 200 workers working at agencies and businesses in Ho Chi Minh City, concluding that promotion opportunities are
Trang 15employees at the company, followed by reward and welfare policies, relationships with leaders, working conditions and, ultimately, the relevance to career goals This study also confirms that income is not an important variable that determines the attachment of young workers to enterprises
Pham The Anh et al (2016) in the article on Human Resource Management and the cohesion of employees at enterprises gave the basic indicators of cohesion: loyalty, pride, try At the same time, the authors also analyzed three factors that strongly influence the cohesion of workers: career development opportunities, remuneration and job descriptions
Tran Dinh Man Duy (2018) in the master thesis "Factors affecting the loyalty of employees of Dong Tam Corporation" In my dissertation, the author has identified factors that affect the loyalty of employees of Dong Tam Corporation such as remuneration, working environment, training, advancement, leadership style, colleagues, the nature of the work, the level of satisfaction of the employees On that basis, the author deeply analyzed the influence of factors on the loyalty of employees of Dong Tam Corporation At the same time, the author proposes a number of solutions to minimize negative effects and promote positive factors on remuneration issues, the nature of work and leadership
Dang Thi Hai (2017) in the master thesis "Factors affecting the loyalty of employees of Beton 6 company" By presenting the theoretical basis and models of research on loyalty, the author has developed a research methodology, which gives
an assessment of the factors affecting employee loyalty Beton 6 company Based
on the situation of analysis and evaluation, the author has proposed solutions to strengthen the loyalty of Beton 6 employees
3 Research gap
All of the above works have conducted research on many aspects related to retaining employees in both theoretical and practical aspects In general, studies have mentioned the following issues:
Giving factors affecting the cohesion of workers and the reasons they leave the organization;
Trang 16 Analyzing the job satisfaction of employees;
Domestic studies have applied to the actual conditions of Vietnamese workers in general;
Although there are many works related to the research topic, but these projects in the implementation process as well as results are limited, subjective and objective shortcomings are only to solve the problem of cohesion or job satisfaction issues for employees in general
The above works have not evaluated the reliability of the scale through factor analysis, factor analysis for independent variables, factor analysis for dependent variables At the same time, the above works have not conducted to test the differences according to personal characteristics to employee loyalty such as gender, age, working position and seniority
4 Research purpose
Employee loyalty is a deliberate commitment to further the best interests of one’s employer, even when doing so may demand sacrificing some aspects of one’s self-interest beyond what would be required by one’s legal and other moral duties
A loyal employee is such that is willing to work in that organization, thinking or believing that to work in the organization is the best option for him For this purpose, the employee tries his best for the success of the organization to ensure that it survives
Keep loyalty of employee makes business run smoothly This thesis focuses
in how to make ANSV employee higher
5 Research objectives

9 Dissertation structure
In addition to the introduction and conclusion, the thesis consists of 3 chapters:
Chapter 1: The theoretical basis of employee loyalty and research design
Chapter 2: The status of employee loyalty at ANSV Co., Ltd
Chapter 3: Proposing solutions to maintain and improve employee loyalty at ANSV Co., Ltd
Trang 18CHAPTER 1: THEORETICAL BASIS OF THE LOYALTY OF STAFF AND
RESEARCH MODEL 1.1 The concept of loyalty
1.1.1 What is loyalty?
Loyalty is an employee who intends to stay long with the organization / business; will stay with the same organization / business even if there is a relatively more attractive salary offer (Stum 1999-2001)
1.1.2 Some thesis about loyalty
According to Johnson (2005), employees "are more professionally loyal to employers" and "the nature of the relationship between employees and employers has changed substantially and needs to be reevaluated loyalty concept ”according
to Tran Thi Kim Dung & Nguyen Thi Mai Trang (2007, p.19-20)
There have been many studies of employee loyalty with many different approaches
According to Allen, N.J., & Meyer, J.P (1990) focused on 3 psychological states of employees when connected with the organization Staff can be loyal to the organization:
- Because of their true feelings, they will stay with the organization even if other places pay higher wages
- Because they don't have a chance to find a better job
- And maybe because of the moral standards they pursue
The Loyalty Research Center (1990) defined employee loyalty as employee engagement with organizational success and believing that their best choice is to work for this organization Not only do they implement plans to survive with the organization but they are also not proactive in seeking opportunities to change jobs
as well as not responding to other attractive offers According to this definition,
Trang 19plan to quit
The intention to leave the employee's job is the intention to leave the current working environment to switch to another working environment (Vo Quoc Hung & Cao Hao Thi, 2010) In general, employees often work for an organization that wants to meet their needs and feel satisfied with their work Once the needs are not met, feeling unsatisfied with the job, the intention to leave to find another organization is inevitable Thus, there is a correlation between demand and satisfaction for work to the attachment, loyalty of employees to the organization (Tran Kim Dung, 2005) Therefore, it is necessary to present the theory of employees' needs and satisfaction in order to consider the relationship with employee loyalty, based on which hypotheses are proposed for this study
1.2 Expression of loyalty, measurement of loyalty [12]
Firstly, tell your boss what your boss wants to hear the least: When employees and bosses are farther away from their ranks, fewer employees will disagree with the boss For example, new employees who join the company often absolutely comply with all boss's opinions and instructions without any comments But that doesn't mean they always feel satisfied And when those employees' dissatisfaction peaks, they often resolve themselves by quitting Meanwhile, direct reporters who work closely with their bosses may have mixed views with their boss They are loyal employees, willing to point out the wrong points of the boss, tell the boss what the boss wants to hear the best with the willingness to want the job to be better
Secondly, treat your boss as a person: A student can always watch his teacher as an idol with a very standard and standard image But the student is also difficult to accept the image of the teacher he loves in the form of "morale" of an ordinary person in society Similarly, many employees look at the boss like a person who is always strong, strong, powerful and often keeps distance from his boss But loyal employees do not place heavy relationships between bosses and employees that way They understand boss in every corner of their work and personal life Loyal employees understand that the boss always wants to help them achieve their career
Trang 20goals and in their personal lives, expecting their employees to have the best On the contrary, they also want their boss to meet the best in their work and personal life
Thirdly, never criticize your boss before others: Employees can criticize your boss as a way to reduce stress but most people do this because they think your boss
is not superior to yourself They also find ways to "erode" the respect that the boss has worked so hard to deserve from everyone around Loyal employees will not do
so They didn't talk, bad boss said behind They always show respect for the boss even if the boss is not in front of them
Fourth, show disagreement with your boss privately: Arguing and disagreement are healthy for an organization Loyal employees believe they can freely share their views with their boss, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages
of their boss's decisions They also believe that the boss is willing and eager to listen to their comments for the sake of the boss and the company However, unlike loyal employees, they will do the above things with their boss skillfully and privately
Fifth, openly support all boss decisions: Even if you disagree with your boss about a decision, loyal employees will not try to find a way to prove that your boss is wrong Conversely, in front of people, loyal employees will do everything to prove their boss is doing the right thing
Sixth, notice to the boss when he wants to quit his job: No boss wants to lose his loyal employees But sometimes, loyal employees are forced to say goodbye to bosses and companies to pursue better opportunities, to enter a new field, to set up their own company or just want to lifestyle changes However, these employees always understand that their departure will leave their boss and a hole in the staff and therefore, they will foreshadow their plan so that the boss has enough time to prepare
1.3 The role and benefits of loyalty to the organization [9]
As mentioned above, employee satisfaction is extremely important in any organization, big or small The satisfaction of employees has a two-way effect, both with the organization and the employees themselves, but the level and intensity are
Trang 21For organizations, Employee satisfaction affects all aspects of corporate operations including:
The first is increasing personnel performance Employees who are satisfied with the work will have better, more devoted, devoted attitude and active learning and development in their work This increases the overall productivity of the company and helps the company achieve its goals
The second is to maintain and stabilize the human resources in the company, satisfied employees will have a spirit of attachment to higher enterprises, less affected
by outside offers Besides, employees will appreciate the collective benefits because when they want to stick, they will "take care", "build" and "protect" their common home
Third, when employees are satisfied with their work, they will treat customers better and therefore customer satisfaction is also greater
Fourth, the staff will communicate the company outside and that helps the company attract talents, build good image in the eyes of customers and partners
Fifth, the Company will save money for training new candidates and recruiting candidates
Sixth, the Company will minimize the errors in the process of work as well as the process risks by more responsible, enthusiastic employees so they always strive to
do better their work
As for employees, the satisfaction of employees at work not only helps them stick with businesses, but also reinforces their love of business Employees will start to care about their work instead of worrying about other issues, they feel responsible for the organization and try to create better results to gain appreciation from the company They will also deal with customers better and build strong relationships with them
1.4 Factors affecting loyalty
1.4.1 Salary and benefits
Wages are both an expensive and an asset Expensive costs reflect through labor costs In the service sector, labor costs account for about 50% of the total cost However, remuneration is also an asset because it motivates employees to
Trang 22make efforts It is a potential to affect employees' work behavior, motivating more productive employees Wages help employees improve their work, increase
productivity and lower the number of people who quit their jobs
Some companies want to lead in higher salaries than other companies These companies want to attract talent because they think that paying higher wages than other firms will attract highly qualified candidates Some companies apply a salary policy that is lower than the current salary There are two reasons why these companies pay low wages; one is that the company falls into a difficult financial situation; secondly, they think that they do not need good workers to do simple jobs But studies have shown that paying low wages does not mean saving a sum of labor costs On the contrary, the company will be more expensive, because workers will not be productive, the rate of good people leaving will be high to find other places to pay higher wages
According to Tran Kim Dung (2003), the remuneration is always one of the most challenging issues for managers in all businesses Enterprises often have different views and goals when setting up a pay system, but generally businesses aim to four basic objectives:
Attracting employees: The recommended salary is often one of the most basic factors for a candidate to decide whether to accept a job at a business The higher the wage paying enterprises are, the more likely they are to attract good candidates from the local market
Maintaining good employees: to maintain good employees for businesses, high pay is not enough, but also must show fairness within the enterprise When employees find that businesses pay them unfairly, they will often feel uncomfortable, inhibited and depressed, even leaving the business
Stimulating and motivating employees: If the policies and governance activities
in the enterprise let employees realize that their efforts, hard work and good performance will not be compensated adequately They will not try to work anymore, gradually, can form passive, passive among all employees of the business
Trang 23regarding labor pay in enterprises often focus on the following issues: the minimum wage regulation, the time and the thing labor law, regulations on child labor, allowances in wages, regulations on social welfare such as social insurance, sickness, maternity, labor accidents,
All employees want to be rewarded for their contributions or contributions
in certain ways Workers who can get in an organization are not just money and not all people work for money Money will be a strong encouragement for low-skilled workers and those pursuing material wealth, but money has little impact on those who like to do challenging jobs Therefore, reward must be directed towards satisfying the individual needs of employees
The theory of expectation indicates that workers will not pursue rewards when they realize rewards are not attainable Therefore, the forms of material encouragement must be designed in such a way that it will create employee confidence in the connection between reward and effort
Moreover, the reward must show personal justice (compare the effort spent with the rewards received) and social justice (compare your efforts and rewards with others) under the same conditions) If rewards do not give employees an awareness of fairness, it is difficult to have good activities of workers
In addition, to encourage employees 'efforts towards achieving the organization's objectives, rewarding must be associated with the results and effectiveness of the performance of employees' tasks
According to Tran Kim Dung (2003), welfare shows the interest of enterprises to the lives of workers, which stimulates loyal and attached employees
to enterprises Business benefits include: Social insurance and health insurance; retire; leave, holidays; lunch is covered by the enterprise; business subsidies for large or disadvantaged employees; Business gifts for employees on birthdays, weddings, happy parents and staff
For Nguyen Huu Than (2001), welfare consists of two main parts: regulatory and welfare benefits that are voluntarily applied by companies in part to stimulate employee incentives, and partly to maintain and attract talented people to work for
Trang 24the company Voluntary benefits are health insurance programs, health insurance programs, types of services, programs that pay for harmful benefits - hazards and other subsidies such as grants to establish centers, child care center when their parents work or a program to diagnose and treat public blood pressure Each company has many initiatives for different types of subsidies, but all have a common goal of encouraging employees to work, feel secure to work, and stick
with more agencies
1.4.2 Work environment [6]
The working environment is always concerned by workers because the working environment is related to personal convenience but it is also a factor that helps them to fulfill their tasks Workers do not like dangerous, unfavorable and inconvenient working environments Temperature, light, noise, and other environmental factors must be appropriate Moreover, many workers prefer to work close to home, with clean, modern working facilities and appropriate equipment
1.4.3 Colleague [5]
People get from work from many things, not just money and achievements For most workers, work also satisfies the need for interaction Therefore, it is not surprising that people who collaborate and support will increase job satisfaction Behavior of leaders is also a key factor determining satisfaction Employee satisfaction increases when their leader is knowledgeable, friendly, and gives praise when workers perform well, listening to employees' opinions, and know about the interests of workers
In order for employees to wholeheartedly serve the business, the superior communication technique for their subordinates is very important Administrators create a friendly atmosphere, trust in employees, pay attention to building good relationships, behave courteously, respect employees, pay attention to their opinions, not force they are more powerful, but by their true reputation, the more they promote their talents, stimulate them to work harder and be more effective
1.4.4 Leadership style [13]
Trang 25influence, encourage encouragement and direction for the activities of the executives to achieve the common goals of the organization, at the same time Based on some theories show that Leadership has a positive influence on employee loyalty
According to research by Tran Kim Dung & Nguyen Thi Mai Trang (2007)
on the impact of organizational culture and leadership style on their performance and loyalty to the organization, the new leadership style comes substance (including 3 components: attractive-inspirational; intellectual encouragement; personal interest) has a positive impact on employee loyalty When a leader is able to convey inspiration to work for employees, "providing subordinates with a clear sense of purpose" will give life force staff to work and have positive thoughts from there, more with the company The leader also needs to be an example for his subordinates to follow and encourage employees to find new solutions to complete the job Care and encouragement of employees must be done appropriately That is, only encouraging employees, showing employees that they
do it for themselves, not for the company From there they will have admiration for leaders that stick with the company more
1.4.5 Interest in work
Regarding the challenges of work, the opportunity to use personal abilities and feel interesting when doing the job People who are not much suited to work are more likely to leave the organization than those who have a personal and work fit
1.4.6 Recruitment of personnel
The foundation of a business is always a strong, capable and suitable staff of the company, loyal to the company In order to have such staff, it asks a combination of many factors such as remuneration, working environment, training and development, empowerment, corporate culture, However, the first element has The most important role is the recruitment process
1.4.7 Support of the organization
When employees feel that they get help and coordination in good work with their colleagues; being encouraged by the higher level will create confidence for them to strive to accomplish the job well and want to contribute more to the organization
1.4.8 Authorize
Trang 26The empowerment of businesses to employees is actually a form of employee trust, recognizing the competence of employees in the process of working No business is risking assigning important jobs, key positions in the company to an incompetent person Therefore, this will create the trust of employees for the superiors, for businesses Once assigned to take a more important position, get promoted, the staff will feel that they are being used, their talents are acknowledged by their superiors and then the staff will think that this is a lips The school works well and I can improve further in the future, .Therefore, empowerment of employees is also a factor that increases employee loyalty
1.4.9 Corporate culture
Corporate culture is to create a code of conduct for businesses without creating a directive This way of doing business not only has the effect of promoting businesses to implement the "human-centered" business method, but also makes the capacity of product development and unity capacity unite The collective of the business becomes prosperous, increasing the employee's attachment to the business, increasing employee loyalty to the business
1.4.10 Training and developing [11]
Training and development helps employees update new skills and knowledge, enabling them to successfully apply technological and technical changes in the enterprise At the same time, it helps employees get the necessary skills for advancement opportunities and substitutes for necessary managers and professionals
Satisfying training and development needs for employees will stimulate employees to perform better jobs, achieve better achievements, want to be given more challenging tasks with more advancement opportunities Therefore, training is considered a basic element to meet the strategic goals of the organization The quality of employees has become one of the competitive advantages of businesses, businesses should focus on training policies and create opportunities for employees
to develop themselves
1.5 Theories aimed at understanding the factors affecting employee loyalty
Trang 27In the system of management theory and encouragement, Abraham Maslow's theory of demand hierarchy (1943) is a theory that has a vast understanding A Maslow believes that human behavior stems from human needs and needs arranged
in a priority order from low to high in importance Demand levels are arranged into the following five levels:
The basic needs or physiological needs: it is the need related to the essentials
to survive such as food, air, housing, clothing, Within the organization, this demand is expressed mainly in salaries and benefits
Safety needs: including personal safety such as no attack, threatening war, natural disasters; financial safety such as economic crisis, unemployment; Health safety such as no sickness, accidents, etc In the organization, this demand is reflected in the safety of the work, the protection of labor, long-term stable work,
Social needs: When the needs of physiology and safety are satisfied, the third higher demand appears that is the need for social relations such as friends, family, and community participation social, loved,
Needs are respected: Everyone has a need to be respectful and respectful Respect comes from people wanting to be accepted and valued by others In the organization, this need represents being organized to recognize employees' contributions, work in a high position and increase responsibility
Demand for self-affirmation: This is the highest and most unsatisfactory demand in Maslow's demand ladder This is the need to express each person's "I" More specifically, at this level people have the need to develop their own capacity and improve themselves In the organization, this need is reflected in the training, coaching, advancement, and the opportunity to promote the capacity and creativity
A Maslow divided the needs into two levels: high and low Low-level needs are physiological and safety and security needs High-level needs include social needs, need for respect and the need to assert themselves
A Maslow said that satisfying lower-level needs is easier than satisfying high-level needs because low-level needs are limited and can be satisfied from the outside He argued that first-class needs work, it requires satisfaction and so it motivates people to act - it is a motivating factor When these needs are satisfied, it
Trang 28is no longer a motivating factor, then higher level needs will appear
Maslow’s demand theory has an important implication for managers that to motivate employees it is important to understand what level of needs your workers are at From that understanding allows you to devise appropriate solutions for satisfying employees’ needs while ensuring organizational goals
1.5.2 Two-factor theory by F Herzberg
The two-factor theory is given by Frederick Herzberg, an American psychologist He surveyed the sample with the objects of accountants and engineers Each person will be interviewed about his or her work to find out positive (satisfied)
or non-positive (dissatisfied) factors that affect job satisfaction The analytical results have identified two groups that have conflicting effects on work, specifically shown in the following table:
Table 1Motivating and maintaining elements of F.Herzberg
regulations
(Source: Author's synthesis)
F Herzberg's two-factor theory makes sense for managers to please employees Managers must first improve the retention factors before they want to increase their employee motivation Each person will have different feelings about these two groups of factors, because it may be one factor that motivates this person but is the maintenance of others and the tendency of motivating factors over time becomes weak Maintenance factor Therefore, managers need to always find solutions to enrich the work of employees because that will contribute to creating more motivational factors
Trang 29Victor H Vroom believes that encouragement is the result of an individual's expectations The encouragement of people depends on two factors, the level of the individual's desire to deal with the job and how the individual thinks about the job and how it will be achieved Therefore, to motivate workers, we need to pay attention to the perceptions and expectations of individuals in terms of situation, rewards, ease of implementation in a way that will reach rewards and guarantees Make sure the reward is paid Theory expects that managers must understand employees' expectations and align these expectations with organizational goals For this, the administrator should: create the outcomes that the employee desires, create the need to implement to achieve the organizational goals, ensure the desired level of performance can be achieved, closely linked expected results with the necessary implementation, assessing the situation with different expectations, ensuring the reward is sufficiently attractive and fair for everyone (Nguyen Huu Lam, 1996, p .127-128)
1.5.4 Theory of fairness
Fair doctrine states that workers compare what they put into a job (input) with what they receive from that job (output) and then compare the input-output ratio of them with the input-output ratio of others If their rate is equal to the rate of others, it is assumed that there is a fair situation If this rate is not equal, they think there is an injustice When unfair conditions exist, employees will make efforts to correct them
Fair doctrine implies that when employees visualize injustice, they may have one or more of the following five possibilities:
Distort the inputs or outputs of yourself or others
Behave in a way to make others change their inputs or outputs
Behave in a way to change their own inputs or outputs
Choose another comparison criterion for comparison
Quit
The doctrine of fairness recognizes that individuals are not only interested in the sheer volume of rewards they receive for their efforts, but also the relationship between that mass and what others receive Inputs, such as effort, experience,
Trang 30educational level and talent, are compared with outputs such as wages, salary increases, recognition and other factors When people realize that there is a difference in their input-output ratios compared to others, there will definitely be tension This tension provides the basis for motivation, when people strive to gain what they consider to be fair and satisfactory
Employee motivation is greatly influenced by relative rewards as well as absolute rewards When employees are aware of an injustice, they will take actions
to correct this situation The result may be higher or lower productivity, better quality or less, increased absenteeism, or voluntary resignation
1.6 Some previous research on employee loyalty
The fact shows that organizational leadership and culture have an impact on the loyalty of specific employees:
New leaders in substance affect employee loyalty, but this is not true in foreign-invested enterprises Due to the fierce nature of foreign-invested enterprises, many employees, although still achieving good working results, cannot bear the high pressure of work for a long time to accept to transfer to another company
New culture - supporting with creating a supportive, goal-oriented work environment, creating excitement for everyone, has a good effect to keep employees It has an effect on employee loyalty in all three types of business ownership
Administrative culture; Administrative culture does not affect employee loyalty in domestic businesses but has an impact on employee loyalty in foreign-invested enterprises When applying to work in foreign-invested enterprises, workers have been looking forward to working in a professional working environment, if this is not achieved, workers can easily leave the business In contrast, when agreeing to work for domestic enterprises, workers often easily mimic and accept administrative tables, non-professional manners and practice adapting to businesses
