Research Model of Factors Affecting Loyalty

The dependent variable is loyalty, and the independent variables are the following:


2.5.1.1 Nature of work


The nature of the job plays a vital role in human resource management. Job analysis and job design are important tools in the process of ensuring that the nature of the individual matches the nature of the job. This process of ensuring a match helps in achieving the goals of the employee and the organization. Employees only want or intend to stay where they can best develop their abilities and find enjoyment in their work.

2.5.1.2 Salary and benefits


Income, also known as salary, includes: basic salary, allowances, subsidies, bonuses.

Compensation is always one of the most challenging tasks for managers in any business. Businesses often have different views and goals when arranging compensation systems, but in general, they aim at four basic goals: (a) attracting employees, (b) retaining good employees, (c) motivating employees, and (d) meeting legal requirements.

Because when it comes to work and work quality, people often use the income that the job brings to evaluate and measure, so income is often considered a measure of the work as well as the success of the employee. Indeed, high income makes people feel more satisfied in terms of material things.


quality, from there dedicate yourself, focus more on work and try to prove your worth more.

According to Tran Kim Dung (2005), benefits show the concern of the enterprise for the life of the employees, which has the effect of stimulating employees to be loyal and attached to the enterprise. Benefits of the enterprise include: Social insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance, retirement, leave, holidays, lunches sponsored by the enterprise, subsidies from the enterprise for employees with many children or in difficult circumstances, gifts from the enterprise to employees on birthdays, weddings, longevity celebrations for employees' parents [1].

2.5.1.3 Working environment


The working environment includes working conditions and the colleagues working in that environment.

Working conditions are always of concern to employees because they create personal convenience, create a sense of security, and help employees complete their tasks well.

The working environment is largely determined by the people who work in it. Working in a friendly, competitive environment where people help and support each other will help employees feel more attached to the company.

2.5.1.4 Recognition and rewards


Fair rewards exist only when employees feel that they have been rewarded fairly for the work pressure and the role they fulfill (Netemeyer et al., 1997). Employees who are recognized and rewarded fairly will have a more positive attitude and are willing to act in a way that supports the organization.

2.5.1.5 Training and development


Training is a systematic process of fostering the acquisition of skills, rules, concepts or attitudes that result in a better match between employee characteristics and job requirements. Development is a long-term process of improving the ability and motivation of employees to make them valuable future members of the organization. Development includes not only training but also career and other experiences. (George & Jogn, p.375) [19]

There is growing economic evidence that investment in training is linked to long-term profitability. Training is used as a strategic tool to achieve organizational and employee goals. As a result, employees find it beneficial to stay with the company and grow with it.

2.5.1.6 Leadership/superior


Supervisory support behavior has been the focus of much research attention. Supervisory support is defined as the degree of consideration and support that employees receive from their supervisors (Netemeyer et al., 1997).

The leader's behavior is also a major factor in determining satisfaction. Employee satisfaction increases when their leader is knowledgeable, friendly, knows how to give compliments when employees do a good job, knows how to listen to employees' opinions, and knows how to care about employees' interests (Nguyen Huu Lam, 1998) [6].

A supportive leader must be competent and treat employees fairly, encourage two-way communication, and recognize the contributions of employees to the achievement of organizational goals.

3.1.2 Introduction to Esquel Vietnam factory (Amata Industrial Park)

Company name: ASIA GARMENT MANUFACTURER (VN) CO., LTD,

abbreviated as EAV .

Address: Lot 102/6-1, Road No. 2, Amata Industrial Park, Long Binh Ward, Bien Hoa, Dong Nai.

Total area: 16,800 m2

EAV Company is the predecessor of Asia Company, founded by a Singaporean in 2004. However, Asia's production and business activities were not favorable because it was increasingly difficult to get direct orders from large customers and mainly did processing work, in which Asia used to process for Esquel Vietnam Factory in Binh Duong. In July 2010, Esquel acquired and officially started operating under the leadership of the group with the same name. From the number of 800 official employees and about 200 seasonal workers before transferring to the Group, now the total official employees are up to 1,500 people (employees account for about 12%) and the total expected maximum employees is 2,000 people. The company commits not to use seasonal workers in production and business activities.

Currently, EAV is operating in 2 shifts 1 and 2, without rotation, with 24 lines for Shift 1 and 4 lines for Shift 2, and is increasing recruitment to fill the lines of Shift 2 in order to maximize capacity. Current main customers are Tommy Hilfiger and Nike. EAV is using the annual full-package legal support consulting service of Betterwork Vietnam program and all HR practices are strictly controlled and guided by the customer's Third Party Inspection Committee, Internal Control Committee and Sustainable Development Committee (CSR) of the Group. Therefore, EAV is proud to be a unit that always strives to comply with and above Vietnamese labor laws as well as strictly comply with commitments to customers.
