Motivational influence on positive work attitudes: An exploration among Vietnamese workers

This research investigates positive work attitudes among Vietnamese workers, aiming to fill a significant gap in the literature by examining how motivation influences these attitudes. Using a sample from four joint stock companies in Vietnam, the study employed a newly developed questionnaire and the Motivation at Work Scale. The results showed a moderately positive attitude among workers, with intrinsic motivation emerging as the strongest predictor of positive attitudes. Age differences revealed that older workers display greater passion and effort. The study concludes that experience may contribute to deeper work engagement and resilience, underscoring the importance of aligning work with intrinsic interests while also considering the role of extrinsic motivators.
