Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 國際管理碩士在職專班 === 95 === Nowadays, all South-East Asian countries have a number of their human resources overseas in most areas in the world. And the Vietnamese Government also adapted a policy for workforce export based on bilateral cooperation agreements with the receiving countries. Taiwan has become attractive to a huge number of Vietnamese workers. It is reason why a big number of Vietnamese are working in Taiwan. Some have worked in Taiwan for a long time, some just arrived. Issues involved foreign workers‟ lives and jobs need a big consideration in any organization where they work. The first purpose of this study is to integrate relevant literature and develop a comprehensive research model of job satisfaction to identify its antecedent and consequential research variables. The second purpose of this study is to empirically test the research model through conducting survey research in the area of Vietnamese working in Taiwan. To make a clear understanding, a comparison between Vietnamese and Taiwanese workers at the same organizations was developed. A 47-item survey questionnaire was applied to conduct a survey with 322 subjects in order to identify the interrelationships among job characteristics, job adjustment, social support, job satisfaction and job performance. The results of this study indicated that job characteristics, job adjustment and social supports tend to significantly impact on the job satisfaction. And a couple of interesting points were come out when taking comparison. First, the results of factor analysis and the interrelationships among constructs for Vietnamese and Taiwanese seem similar to each other. Second, Vietnamese workers’ perception of job satisfaction is not different from Taiwanese’s, which raises an opposite idea about foreign workers about their job satisfaction, especially for Vietnamese workers in Taiwan.
