There are certain limitations, the evaluation of cadres and civil servants is still formal, not reflecting the true nature of cadres and civil servants; lacking combativeness and constructive spirit in evaluating cadres and civil servants.
In addition, the learning or participation in the training and development process of cadres is very passive, not really stemming from the need of civil servants and public employees to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for their work, but simply to have "diplomas and certificates" to meet regulations, or in the case of preparing for promotion. Once officially employed, a number of cadres are also prone to the mindset of "resignation", with little effort to improve because they are employed for life (except in cases of disciplinary violations that force them to quit) and because the main basis for salary increase is seniority.
2.2. RESEARCH MODEL
2.2.1. Basis for formation and proposed research model
The use of JDI is becoming more and more popular in assessing job satisfaction. According to Luddy (2005), some reasons why researchers choose JDI to assess job satisfaction are summarized as follows:
- According to Smuker et al (2003), 78 surveys with female sports reporters using the JDI model showed that the factors in the JDI model all achieved high reliability with Cronbach Alpha coefficients greater than 0.7;
- Nagy (2002 cited by Luddy, 2005) claims that there are 400 studies and documents proving the validity of the JDI;
- Smith (1969) cited in Spector (1997) argued that the JDI is a proven valid and reliable instrument for assessing job satisfaction;
- Vorster (1992) cited in Cockcroft (2001) concluded that the JDI has been standardized and found to be consistent across conditions in various studies.
- The JDI is considered to be the most carefully designed and developed instrument for measuring job satisfaction (Vroom, 1964 cited in Schneider & Vaught, 1993). More than 50% of the articles published between 1970 and 1978 in seven leading management-related journals in the world that used non-specific measures of job satisfaction used the JDI model (Yeager, 1981 cited in Schneider & Vaught, 1993); and
- The JDI has been used in previous surveys in the public sector to measure employee job satisfaction (Schneider & Vaught, 1993).
- The JDI is easy to use and does not require a high level of reading ability to complete (Heneman, Schwab, Fossum and Dyer, 1983).
For the above reasons, the research topic uses the five aspects of job satisfaction components of JDI (Smith, 1969). However, the specific working environment in the public sector in Vietnam in general and in Da Nang city in particular requires readjusting the aspects of job components to ensure the accuracy of the research. At the same time, based on the results of preliminary interviews and inherited from previous studies by Kim Dung (2005), Nguyen Hoa (2013), Nguyen Van Thuan (2011) ... Therefore, three aspects in work are proposed to be added:
- Performance appraisal
- Benefits
- Working conditions or working environment
In which, the two factors of salary and benefits are grouped into the same impact factor due to similarities because these two factors are both implemented according to the provisions of law and based on previous research results.
So this study will select 7 independent factors affecting the satisfaction of civil servants at the Department of Industry and Trade of Da Nang to be included in the research topic including:
- Nature of work
- Salary and benefits
- Leader
- Colleague
- Training and promotion
- Working conditions
- Performance appraisal
