Job Commitment in FDI Manufacturing Enterprises during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Empirical Evidence from Vietnam

The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of several factors on employees' job commitment in ten FDI manufacturing businesses in Vietnam's Nghi Son Economic Zone during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The researchers used reliability tests, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling to confirm the relationships between factors when analyzing the effect of variables on job commitment in FDI enterprises. Based on a poll of 481 respondents, the test findings showed that 07 parameters have positive effects on job satisfaction. Professional assurance, compensation, fringe benefits, supervisor, promotion, coworkers, and working conditions all have varying levels of impact. Job satisfaction, in particular, has a significant and positive impact on employees' commitment to their jobs. According to research findings, the COVID-19 pandemic has been and continues to be a unique burden for Vietnamese firms in general and FDI manufacturing enterprises in Nghi Son EZ in particular. As a result, businesses must have appropriate HRM strategies to incentivize employees to recover, stabilize, and develop in the new normal, ensuring employee loyalty to the company.
