Comparative Study of Business Activities among Japanese, Korean and State Owned Companies in Vietnam

本研究基于2000年至2002年对越南（河内、胡志明和岘港市）22家公司（所有制造商、11家日本公司、4家韩国公司和7家国有公司）进行的问卷调查和访谈的结果。回答调查问卷的越南工人或经营者共有3645人。由于交叉表，越南工人的特点可以指出如下：(1)越南工人寻求有价值的工作，而不是高工资。(2)具体来说，这种趋势在国有企业中更为明显。(3)在韩国企业工作的越南工人中，追求高工资的倾向相对较多。(4)喜欢在离家近的公司工作的女性比例是男性的两倍多。在河内的国有企业中，女性比男性更倾向于寻找有价值的工作。(6)有很多员工喜欢高工资的公司是日本和韩国的公司，如VIFON-ACECOOK、VIETHAN、SUMI-HANEL、HAIHA-KOTOBUKI和JUKI。(7)与胡志明市相比，在河内上夜校的工人相对更多。(8)越南人的家庭优先于工作的态度在本研究中没有具体说明。一般来说，越南工人更喜欢在国有企业工作。本田越南公司的工人对公司的“高权威”感到满意。这意味着本田拥有很高的品牌力。未来必须对个别公司进行更详细的调查，以进一步发展这项研究。

This research is based on the results of a questionnaire as well as interviews conducted on 22 companies (all manufacturers; 11 Japanese companies, 4 Korean companies and 7 state owned companies) in Vietnam (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Da Nang cities) from 2000 to 2002. The number of Vietnamese workers or operators who responded to the questionnaire was 3,645 in total. As a result of cross tabulations, the characteristics of Vietnamese workers can be pointed out as follows: (1) Vietnamese workers seek worthwhile jobs rather than high wages. (2) Specifically, this tendency is stronger at state owned companies. (3) Relatively more Vietnamese workers at Korean companies tend to seek high wages. (4) The percentage of women who prefer to work at companies closer to their homes is more than twice that of men. (5) At state enterprises in Hanoi, more women tend to seek worthwhile jobs than men. (6) Companies which had many workers who prefer high wages were Japanese and Korean companies such as VIFON-ACECOOK, VIETHAN, SUMI-HANEL, HAIHA-KOTOBUKI, and JUKI. (7) These are relatively more workers who go to night school in Hanoi compared to Ho Chi Minh City. (8) The Vietnamese attitude of priority on family over work was not specified in this research. (9) Generally, Vietnamese workers prefer to work at state owned companies. (10) Workers at Honda Vietnam were satisfied with the company's "high authority". This means that Honda has high brand power. A more detailed investigation into individual companies must conducted in the future to further develop this research.
