ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT OF EMPLOYEES IN THE VIETNAM INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES: THE ANTECEDENT FACTORS
The study used the Allen andMeyer’s Three-Component Model of commitment to examine the relationship between its components and the antecedent factor: job characteristics, income, social package, coworkers relations, leader’s attitude. The object of the survey was randomly selected 547 employees working in enterprises in Vietnam. The results showed a positive correlation between each component of commitment and each antecedent factors. Multivariate regression analysis of the influence of a combination of factors on the components has shown that the "income" and "leaders’s attitude" factor is involved in explaining the variance of all three components of commitment. The other factors are involved in explaining the variance only of one or two components. The study explained the contribution of antecedent factors on workers’s commitment components in general and noted the importance of leadership for Vietnamese workers in particular.
