Regression Analysis Results With Hypothesis H2B


The human-oriented organizational culture variable has a positive relationship with reward frequency. (β 12 = .153, p<.05). This means that in organizations with a higher human-oriented culture, the reward frequency is greater. This result is consistent with hypothesis H2a.

H2b: The full regression function can be expressed as follows:


Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 + β 4 X 4 + β 5 X 5 + β 6 X 6 + β 7

10 X 10 + β 11 X 11 + β 12 X 12 . In which,

Y: Equalization principle for bonus distribution


Other notations are the same as in the regression function in hypothesis H2a above.


The results of the regression analysis showed that the control model with 11 variables was not significant ( adjusted R 2 .03, F: 1.468, p>.1). When the human-oriented organizational culture variable was included, the full model became significant ( adjusted R 2 .05, F:

1.752, p<.1). Two of the 11 control variables have a significant relationship with the principle of equal allocation: position (-.235, p<.01), the number of years the company has been operating (-.22, p<.05). Thus, position and number of years of operation have a negative relationship with the use of the principle of equal allocation. This means that the higher the position, the longer the company has been operating, the less the principle of equalization is applied. The variable of human-oriented organizational culture has a positive relationship with the principle of equal allocation (β 12 =.17, p<.05). This means that in units with a human-oriented organizational culture, the principle of equalization is used more to allocate bonuses. This result is consistent with hypothesis H2b.

H2c: The complete regression function can be expressed as follows:


Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 + β 4 X 4 + β 5 X 5 + β 6 X 6 + β 7

10 X 10 + β 11 X 11 + β 12 X 12 . Where, Y: Group-based bonus

Other notations are the same as in the regression function in hypothesis H2a above.


The results of the regression analysis showed that the control model with 11 variables was significant ( adjusted R 2 .082, F: 2.351, p<.05). When the human-oriented organizational culture variable was included, the full model remained significant (adjusted R 2 .121, F: 2.912, p<.01). Position, legal form, and company size were negatively related while age was positively related to team-based rewards. This means that with higher positions and larger company sizes, team-based rewards were used less. The human-oriented organizational culture variable was positively related to team-based rewards (β 12 = .217, p<.01). This means that in units with more human-oriented organizational culture, team-based rewards were used more. This result is consistent with hypothesis H2c

H2d: The complete regression function can be expressed as follows:

The control model with 11 variables was significant (adjusted R 2 .046, F: 1.757, p<.1). Two of the 11 variables were significantly related to individual performance-based bonuses: education (.171, p<.05), and primary business (.14, p<.1). When the human-oriented organizational culture variable was included, the full model remained significant (adjusted R 2 .064, F: 1.973, p<.05). Two control variables, education and primary business, were positively related to performance-based bonuses.

on individual results, that is, with higher education levels, individual performance-based rewards are used more and service businesses use individual performance-based rewards more than commercial and industrial businesses.

The human-oriented organizational culture variable is negatively related to individual performance-based bonuses (β 12 = -.157, p<.05). This means that in units with more human-oriented organizational culture, individual performance-based bonuses are less used. This is consistent with hypothesis H2d.

H2e: The complete regression function can be expressed as follows:


Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 + β 4 X 4 + β 5 X 5 + β 6 X 6 + β 7

The results of the regression analysis showed that the control model with 11 variables was not significant ( adjusted R 2 .005, F: 1.079, p>.1). When the human-oriented organizational culture variable was included, the full model became significant (adjusted R 2 .046, F: 1.688, p<.1). Only the control variable of the number of years of operation of the enterprise had a significant relationship with the principle of secret payment: in the control model (-.212, p<.05), but in the full model (-.235, p<.05), this means that the more years the enterprise has been in operation, the less it uses the principle of secret payment in bonus payment. The human-oriented organizational culture variable had a negative relationship with the principle of secret payment (β 12 = -.223, p<.01). This means that in units with more human-oriented organizational culture, the principle of secrecy is less used in bonus allocation. This is contrary to hypothesis H2e.

H3a: The full regression function can be expressed as follows:


Y = β 0 + β 1 X 1 + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 + β 4 X 4 + β 5 X 5 + β 6 X 6 + β 7

10 X 10 + β 11 X 11 + β 12 X 12 . In which,

Y: Principle of fairness in bonus allocation

Other notations are the same as in the regression function in hypothesis H2a above.


The results of the regression analysis showed that the control model with 11 variables was not significant (adjusted R 2 .038, F: 1.604, p>.1). When the organizational culture variable of loose control or tight control was included, the full model became significant (adjusted R 2 .087, F: 2.346, p<.01). The level of education was positively related to the use of the equity principle, meaning that the higher the level of education of employees, the more the equity principle was used when allocating bonuses. The organizational culture variable of loose control or tight control was positively related to the equity principle (β 12 = .241, p<.01). This means that in units with an organizational culture that is more inclined towards tight control, the equity principle in allocating bonuses was used more. This result is consistent with hypothesis H3a.

According to H2d, education level and main business sector are positively related to individual performance-based bonuses. The organizational culture variable of loose or tight control is positively related to individual performance-based bonuses (β 12 = .15, p<.1). This means that in units with organizational cultures that are more inclined towards tight control, individual performance-based bonuses are more commonly used. This result is consistent with Hypothesis 3b.

With the hypotheses supported in the qualitative research, H'1 and H'2 were not tested because the measurement did not ensure reliability. H'3 and H'5 were supported. In addition, the results of quantitative data analysis showed that the hypothesis


H'4 gives the opposite result as expected in chapter 1 while hypothesis H'6 is not supported.


CHAPTER SUMMARY


Based on the hypotheses proposed in chapter 1 and some results supporting the hypotheses in the qualitative research step in chapter 2, the thesis moves to chapter 3 with a survey study on the impact of organizational culture on the reward system on a larger sample size, 150 enterprises in Hanoi and neighboring provinces. The sample selection takes into account the enterprise size, business sector, number of years of operation, type of enterprise and capital characteristics. The research results show that most of the hypotheses proposed in chapter 1 were supported, except for hypothesis H1 which was not tested due to insufficient reliability of the measurement and a test result contrary to the proposed hypothesis, H2e. This shows that the culture in a department or division has a significant influence on various aspects of the reward system applied in that department or division, such as the level of bonus use, the principle of fair or equal distribution, the basis for determining bonuses based on group or individual results, and the method of paying bonuses secretly or publicly. These are new findings that the thesis contributes to clarifying the relationship between organizational culture and the reward system, an issue that has received the attention of many researchers and administrators in practice.
