Abstract
Escalating trade disagreements between the United States and China have prompted many companies to relocate from China to Vietnam, spurring noticeable shifts in Vietnam’s labor market. This trend underscores the need for robust employee commitment to smoothly facilitate the integration of newly relocated business operations. In this research, data from 228 Vietnamese employees employed in manufacturing and service sectors were gathered and subsequently evaluated using SPSS and AMOS. Structural equation modeling (SEM) offered key insights. The study’s findings underscore three primary observations: (1) a strong link exists between organizational commitment and elevated job satisfaction, (2) organizational commitment is inversely connected to work stress, and (3) job satisfaction takes on an important role in reducing employees’ stress levels. These results pave the way for practical managerial recommendations aimed at enhancing human resource practices within Vietnamese organizations. Moreover, the paper identifies areas warranting future investigation, such as assessing the impact of alternative managerial strategies on organizational commitment and examining cultural influences that shape employee engagement.
