CHAPTER I: OVERVIEW
The contents of this chapter will give an overview of the research reason, research objectives, research questions, subjects, scope of research, research methods and practical implications of research topics
1.1) REASON OF RESEARCH
There is a strong relationship between career commitment and employee performance The Correlation between them has significantly important for the outcome of any organization with great positive response and performance of employees committed by its organization To achieve better commitment, the organizations will have to devise career opportunities for the good behaviour of employee professional performance Commitment in a simple word, a promise of a person to a progression of related job either it is career oriented or job oriented, but
we give priority to career commitment because our mission to engage with an organization begins from watching career strategies
Today, where we are in the era of 21st century all organizations are in the competitive queue and victorious organizations always touch the peak level
of success in which employees' performance committed to the organization's objective and works as an effective team member [1] The organization that provides career commitment procedures and strategy to its employees, basically
it wants an output or better performance; actually these are requirements and needs
of that organization As a result employee commitment is arrived with greater responses
In a simple language, commitment means "sense of being bound intellectually to some portion of the action" [5], which includes relationship of one person to other ones In the working environment we always see this bond between employees and its related organization where their affection measured in terms of employee performance and organizational offered policies and procedures The organization provides job career with the legal or sometimes its own build up
Trang 10strategies and regulations that is committed to the hired employees, and the employees should follow
Before the deep dive into the employee behaviour we focus on the actual career commitment that is providing an intrinsic and extrinsic materialistic environment in an organization and keep hold of their employees A career commitment is based on employees' performances receiving and appreciating enticement to match contribution that’s may be also rewarded corresponding with the venture One factor is employee's physiological or emotional attachment that is responsible for the positive responses from organization through loyalty, warmth, belongings and pleasure etc All in all, career commitment supports the goal of the organization For proving this statement many analytical reviews, models, theories have been circulated, but we emphasize and highlight Meyer and Allen conceptualization model Organizational career commitment is largely planned and strategic procedures under control of one wave and imply on entire management Behavioural characteristics are mainly considered in the recital work done in environment to continue improvement in current job and job mobility attentiveness Many dramatic changes occurred in the last few decades
in a new retail format which could see in large organizations It is important [8] for the retailers to understand the reason for employee performance by their motivation, job satisfaction and organizational commitment
The training and development of human resources for the company takes a long time and requires careful investment; While the existing human resources are volatile as employees can leave their company at any time, they can even be
"stolen" if they fail to develop a policy fit It is thought that "keeping up" employees with good management regimes and methods and professional environment are important factors for employees to associate with the organization and to work, dedicate and have peace of mind Improve your skills and skills
Numerous researchs have been conducted to identify the factors that affect employee engagement However, in the aqualculture, there are not much research
Trang 11about employee engagement and companies has not paid enough attention to human resource management The topic of "research about career commitment at Hung Vuong Corporation” was selected for research Research results will help managers understand better the factors that influence engagement and propose recommendations to improve employee engagement
1.2) PURPOSE TO MAKING RESEARCH

Trang 13CHAPTER II: RATIONALE
2.1) CAREER COMMITMENT
2.1.1) Concept
The term “career” is more broadly applied and is commonly considered to be the lifelong sequence of role-related experiences of individuals (Hall, 2002) In general, career commitment involves the development of personal career goals and
an identification with and involvement in those goals (Collarelli & Bishop, 1990) Career success is defined as the accumulated positive work and psychological outcomes arising from one’s work experiences (Seibert & Kraimer, 2001) Subjective career success refers to individuals' evaluation of their career progress, accomplishments and anticipated outcomes, relative to their own goals and aspirations (Seibert, Kraimer, & Crant, 2001) Jen-Ruei Fu (2010) defined career satisfaction as the level of overall happiness experienced through one's choice of career This study aims to study the effect of career commitment on subjective career success with the mediating effect of career satisfaction
Career is more broadly applied and is commonly considered to be the lifelong sequence of role-related experiences of individuals (Hall, 2002) Researches have defined ‘career’ term from different point of view in the literature Greenhaus (1987) described a career as a series of jobs held during an individual’s lifetime Hall (1976) described a career as an identification with and involvement in one’s profession Career commitment is defined as “the strength of one’s motivation
to work in a chosen career role” (Hall, 1971) Blau (1988) described a career commitment as ‘one’s attitude towards one’s profession or vocation’ Career commitment involves the development of personal career goals and an identification with and involvement in those goals (Collarelli & Bishop, 1990) Career commitment refers to identification with and involvement in one's occupation (Mueller, Wallace, & Price, 1992) Carson and Bedeian (1994) defined career commitment as “one’s motivation to work in a chosen vocation” To sum up,
Trang 14career commitment involves the development of personal career goals and an identification with and involvement in those goals (Collarelli & Bishop, 1990)
Career commitment is characterized by the development of personal career goals and the individual’s attachment to, identification with and involvement in those goals (Colarelli & Bishop, 1990) Individuals being unable to depend on a single organization to sustain an entire career (Bremner, Robello, Schiller, & Weber, 1991; Nussbaum, 1991) Career commitment involves self-generated goals and commitment to one’s own career, which may lead to employment in several organizations (Randall, 1987) Work environments and the pace of careers in organizations have led employees to exhibit more commitment to their careers and perhaps less or conditional commitment to their organizations (Noordin, Williams,
& Zimmer, 2002) Career commitment has become a significant source of occupational meaning and continuity as organizations become flatter and less Able
to provide secure jobs or careers (Colarelli & Bishop, 1990; Aryee, Yue, & Chew, 1994)
2.1.2) Another research outside of Vietnam
Abstract: Research about job and career influences on the careed commitment of health care excutives: the mediating effect of job satisfaction
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: In total, 2,799 questionnaires were mailed out to members of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) The responses received were 643 (22.9 percent) and after eliminating retirees or students, a sample of 456 respondents currently employed in the health care industry was obtained Path analysis was conducted to test the hypothetical relationships between work situation, career experiences and career commitment FINDINGS: It was found that job satisfaction mediated the influences of job tenure and career pattern on career commitment Job satisfaction partially mediated the
Trang 15influences of perceived job security and one's satisfaction with career on career commitment Both of these measures had a direct influence on career commitment Career experience such as sector change was also positively associated with career commitment
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This study clarifies the influence of job satisfaction on the career commitment of health care managers during a very dynamic period
In 2008, Kingston University and Ipsos to conduct a UK-wide survey of employee engagement The report shows that the factors that affect attachment are emotional coherence, cognitive coherence, and ethical coherence And more than a third of the employees in this survey have an active attachment to the job

( source: from Dale Carnegie, 2013)
This study also identifies the correlation between engagement with education level, gender, job position, seniority, size, industry, and salary
Trang 16- Male employees have a higher degree of attachment than females, with men accounting for 43%, females 37%
- The higher position staff, the more their level of commitment Because high staffs understand the company's vision, mission, core values, and direction, ordinary employees feel that they do not understand and have no enough contribution to the orientation of the organization like higher
The results of the survey provide businesses with a holistic view of employee engagement and provide the foundation for effective retention strategies
Research on "The Impact of Work-Life Quality on Organizational Engagement" by Thai Kim Phong (2011) applies Walton's quality of life scale (1974) Member of Towers Perrin (2003) in terms of Vietnam The results show that Walton's quality of life scale (1974) and the employee engagement scale are consistent with this study The quality scale consists of seven components: adequate compensation, safe working conditions, personal capacity utilization, career development opportunities, In organization and rules within the organization), job life balance and social relevance of job performance with 30 valid observation variables
Trang 17CHAPTER III: MODEL AND PROCESS OF
METHODOLOGY
This chapter will be displayed of the research model, build research proceduce, research method used to determine
3.1) Recommend model
Pic 2: Recommend model
The study aimed to determine the relationship between value-added components and employee engagement at Hung Vuong Company With the research model, the hypotheses presented in the study are as follows:
3.1.1) Developmental Experiences (Wayne, Shore, and Liden 1997)
Description: This measure, developed by Wayne, Shore, and Liden (1997),
describes the formal and informal developmental experiences a job affords employees The measure focuses on the extent to which an organization makes
Trang 18discretionary investments in formal and informal training and development of an employee
Reliability:In a factor analysis of the items used to measure developmental
experiences, perceived organizational support, leader-member exchange (LMX), affective commitment, intentions to quit, and employee favor-doing, the four items measuring development experiences loaded on a single factor by themselves Development experiences were correlated positively with the number of promotions an employee has received, perceived organizational support, affective commitment to the organization, and organizational citizenship behavior (Wayne, Shore, & Liden, 1997)

Items: Responses for items 1 and 2 are obtained on a 7-point Likert-type subscale
where I = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree Responses for items 3 and 4 are obtained on a 7-point subscale where 1 = not at all and 7 = a very large extent
1 In the positions that I have held at [company name], I have often been given additional challenging assignments
2 In the positions that I have held at [company name], I have often been assigned projects that have enabled me to develop and strengthen new skills
3 Besides formal training and development opportunities, to what extent have your managers helped to develop your skills by providing you with challenging job assignments?
4 Regardless of [company’s name] is policy on training and development, to what extent have your managers made a substantial investment in you by providing formal training and development opportunities?
Trang 19Short name in research: Developmental Experiences – DE
3.1.2) Procedural Justice in Performance Appraisal
Description: This measure, developed by Dulebohn and Ferris (1999), uses six items to assess the fairness of the procedures and process used for performance evaluation The measure focuses on the extent to which employees believe their supervisor used important and accurate information in appraising employee performance
Reliability: In Dulebohn and Ferris (1999), coefficient alpha was 86
Validity: Procedural justice evaluations correlated positively with decision control, quality of supervisor relationship, voice opportunity, employee performance ratings, and supervisor-influence tactics such as praising employees for accomplishments Procedural justice evaluations correlated negatively with job- focused influence tactics, such as working harder (Dulebohn & Ferris, 1999) Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the six items loaded on the procedural justice factor as anticipated and that procedural justice evaluations were empirically distinct from assessments of the quality of the employee’s supervisory relationship, opportunities for employees to question the basis for performance ratings (employee voice), and degree of control over performance rating decisions (Dulebohn & Ferris, 1999)
Source: Dulebohn, i H., & Ferris, G R ( 1999) The role of influence tactics in perceptions of performance evaluations’ fairness Academy of Management Journal, 42(3), 288-303 © 1999 by Academy of Management Items were taken from Table 3, p 295 Reproduced with permission of Academy of Management in the format textbook via Copyright Clearance Center
Items: Responses are obtained using a 4-point Likert-type scale where 1 = strongly disagree and 4 - strongly agree
1 The supervisor considered the important aspects of your work when rating you
Trang 202 The supervisor rated you on how well you did your job, not on his/ her personal opinion of you
3 The supervisor treated you with consideration when giving you your performance appraisal results
4 The supervisor that evaluated you showed concern for your rights as an employee
Responses to the following items are obtained with separate 4-point response scales where I = not at all and 4 = very much
5 Overall, how hard did the supervisor who rated your performance try to be fair to you?
6 Overall, how fairly were you treated by the supervisor who rated your performance?
3.1.3) Perceived Person – Organization Fit
Description: This measure, developed by Cable and Judge (1996), uses three items
to directly assess an employee’s perception of his or her fit with an organization
Reliability: Cable and Judge (1996) found that coefficient alpha was 87
Validity: Perceived person-organization fit correlated positively with employee
per-ceptions of their person-job fit, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, Willingness to recommend the organization to others, and employee rating of the
importance of person-job fit (Cable & Judge, 1996)

Items: Responses are obtained on a 5-point Likert-type subscale where 1 = not at all
and 5 = completely
1 To what degree do feel your values “match” or fit this organization and the
Trang 21current employees in this organization?
2 My values match those of the current employees in this organization
3 Do you think the values and “personality” of this organization reflect your own values and personality?
3.1.4) Value Attainment
Description:This measure was originally developed by Rokeach (1973) The
original measure was designed U) assess the importance ranking that a person assigned to 18 terminal values and 18 instrumental values Terminal values describe desirable end states such as a comfortable life and can be categorized as self-centered ‘or society centered Instrumental values refer to modes of behavior and can be categorized as moral focused or competence focused Moral-focused instrumental values include such modes of behavior as honesty or responsibility Competence-focused instrumental values refer to modes of behavior such as logical
or self-controlled Studies of organizations have tended to use terminal values to assess the extent to which an employee's job or work situation has helped the employee attain desired end states (George & Jones, 1996; Hochwarter, Perrewé, Ferris, & Brymer, 1999) Agle, Mitchell, and Sonnenfeld (1999) used an eight-item subset of the terminal values to describe the extent to which CEOs were self-focused or other focused Although originally developed as a rank-ordering (ipsative) measure, the response options have also been changed to a Likert- type subscale in some applications in the 1990s (Agle et a!., 1999; George & Jones, ! 996; Hochwarter, Perrewe, Ferris, & Brymer, 1999)
Reliability: Coefficient alpha values for terminal values using a Likert-type
response subscale ranged from 85 to 93 (George & Jones, 1996; Hochwarter, Perrewd, Ferris & Brymer, 1999)
Validity: Attainment of terminal values correlated positively with job satisfaction,
job performance, and employee positive affectivity Attainment of terminal values correlated negatively with turnover intentions and employee negative affectivity

3.1.5) Career Commitment
Description: This measure, developed by Blau (1989), has been widely used to
examine individuals’ commitment toward their occupations, profession, and careers Reilly and Orsak (1991) modified the items to fit the nursing profession The measure could be similarly adapted to fit other specific professions
Reliability: Coefficient alpha values ranged from 76 to 88 (Cohen, 1995, 1996,
1999; Reilly & Orsak, 1991; Somers & Birnbaum, 1998)
Validity: Career commitment correlated negatively with work stress, emotional
exhaustion, low accomplishment, and the low alternatives dimension of
Trang 24continuance commitment Career commitment correlated positively with perceived performance and life satisfaction, and the personal sacrifices dimension of continuance commitment (Cohen, 1999; Reilly & Orsak, 1991)
Factor analysis showed that career commitment was empirically distinct from affective organizational commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment (Cohen, 1996) Career commitment was also shown to be empirically distinct from job involvement and a measure of the Protestant work ethic (Cohen, 1999)

Secondary information collect information available in the company's available literature and information, seeking information describing the situation and specifying the size of the business in general and about the current The statue needs
to study in particular
Secondary data inside: looking for secondary data from internal organizations sources to obtain rich information, accurate and not costly Therefore, secondary information will be the basis for this research program
Secondary data outside: search secondary data outside the business over the Internet and articles
Collect information and qualitative research
Design preliminary questionnaire, quantitative research
Qualitative research is aimed at exploring the variables included in the proposed model to modify and add to the development of an interview for quantitative research I conducted qualitative research through a preliminary survey with:
Direct observation and interview method Sample size: 257 employees Location: Hung Vuong Company
Sample method: Non-probability method because of limited time and resources
Interview mode: Direct interview and mail interview Sample size: 257 employees Place of interview: at Hung Vuong Company and via the Internet
Design the official questionnaire
3.4) Analasys method
3.4.1) Reliability analysis ( Cronbach 's Alpha coefficient)
Reliability of the scale is evaluated consistently through the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient Using the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of confidence method before exploring the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) factor to exclude inappropriate variables because these variables can create dummy factors (Nguyen Dinh Tho and Nguyen Thi Mai Trang, 2009)
Trang 28Cronbach's Alpha reliability index only indicates whether the measurements are linked or not, but does not indicate which observation variables to discard and which observations should be retained Then, the calculation of the correlation coefficient between total variables will help to exclude those variables that do not contribute much to the description of the concept to be measured (Hoang Trong and Chu Nguyen Mong Ngoc, 2005)
Criteria used when performing a scale reliability assessment:
- Variable variables with variable correlation coefficient - small sum (less than 0.3); Criteria for scale selection when Alpha reliability is greater than 0.6 (the greater the Alpha, the higher the internal consistency is) (Nunally & Burnstein, 1994, cited by Nguyen Dinh Tho and Nguyen Thi Mai Trang, 2009)
- Alpha values: greater than 0.8 are good measures; 0.7 to 0.8 is usable; 0.6 or more can be used in the case of new or novel research concepts (Nunally, 1978; Peterson, 1994; Slater, 1995, cited by Hoang Trong and Chu Nguyen Mong Ngoc, 2005)
- Observed variables with a small total (less than 0.4) are considered to be disposed of and the scale accepted when the Alpha reliability coefficient is greater than 0.7
- Based on the information above, the report evaluates the scale
- The type of observation variable whose total correlation coefficient is less than 0.3 (these variables do not contribute much to the description of the concept under investigation and many previous studies have used this criterion)
- Choose Alpha reliability scale greater than 0.7
- We will follow George and Mallery (2003)
Trang 293.4.2) Descriptive statistics analysis
Descriptive statistics are used to describe the basic characteristics of the data collected from empirical research in a variety of ways Report using descriptive statistics over Percentage and Mean values The Mean value scale is constructed as follows:
Mean = 1: Strongly disagree
Mean = 2: Disagree
Mean = 3: No comments
Mean = 4: Agree
Mean = 5 : Strongly Agree
3.4.3) Analysis of linear regression equations
After concluding the variables with linear relationship, it is possible to model the causal relationship of these two variables by linear regression (Hoang Trong & Chu Nguyen Mong Ngoc, 2005)
Study on the multivariate regression with the Enter method: all variables were included once and the related statistical results were considered
The theoretical model test will be performed by linear regression to test all hypotheses in the model Hypotheses about Significant Significance Relationships with Sig <0.05
Test hypotheses:
- Assess the suitability of the multivariable regression model
- Test the hypothesis of model fit
- Test the hypothesis of multi-collinearity (correlation between independent variables) through the value of tolerance or Variance inflation factor: VIF>
10 Comment can be multi-collinear phenomenon (Hoang Trong & Chu Nguyen Mong Ngoc, 2005)
- Determining the impact of factors affecting worker commitment: The larger the coefficient factor the more it has a higher impact than other factors (In the research model)
Trang 30We have another method The EFA exploratory factor analysis was used to test the conceptual value of the scale (Le Ngoc Duc, 2008) Scales that meet the
reliability requirement will be using factor analysis, reducing a set of observable variables to a smaller set of variables (called factors), these reduced factors will have More meaningful but still contain most of the information content of the initial observation set (Hair, Anderson, Tatham and Black, 1998)
The steps for analyzing the EFA discovery factor include the following steps: (1) Barlett Test Test: the observed variables are correlated in the overall
(2) Considering the KMO value: 0.5 ≤ KMO ≤ 1, factor analysis is appropriate
to the data, whereas KMO ≤ 0.5, factor analysis is unlikely to be appropriate for the data Chu Nguyen Mong Ngoc, 2005)
(3) To analyze the EFA exploratory factor of practical value: conduct the type
of observation variables with factor load factor <0.5
(4) Review the Eigenvalues parameter (representing the divisible part explained
by each factor) with a value of> 1
(5) Consider the value of the total deviation error (≥ 50%): the extracted factors explain the% variance of the observed variables
