The journal article ‘Job Satisfaction of Basic Education Teachers in Vietnam’ by the SEAMEO RETRAC research team, including Dr. Ho Thanh My Phuong, Mr. Tran Phuoc Linh, Ms. Le Thi Thuy Duong and Dr. Anita Clapano-Oblina, has been officially published in the Vietnam Journal of Educational Sciences, Vol 19, No.2, 2023. 

The article is part of the regional research project on ‘Job Satisfaction of Basic Education Teachers in Southeast Asia’, an inter-center collaborative project among SEAMEO Centers. It presents the key issues affecting the level of job satisfaction among basic education teachers in Southeast Asia and provides policy recommendations to increase teacher motivation and job satisfaction. The research employs Herzberg’s Dual Factor Theory Motivation: hygiene factor and motivator factor. In the case of Vietnam, analysis of responses has demonstrated that the sources of job satisfaction are found to be both hygiene factor and motivator factor. The top three resources of job dissatisfaction are (1) job security, (2) work environment, and (3) job responsibility.The article can be accessed in the following link.
