Abstract: This study primarily investigates the impact of motivational factors on job satisfaction of employees in the two manufacturing companies in Hanoi, Vietnam. It also examines the level of job satisfaction and the significant relationship between the respondents’ demographic profile vis a vis job satisfaction. The study utilized the quantitative research method with survey questionnaires as a data-gathering instrument to a sample of 200 respondents selected through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed with the use of SPSS version 21. Key results revealed that motivational factors significantly influenced job satisfaction and variables such as promotion, salaries/benefits, work-itself, working conditions, and recognition are significant positive predictors while no significant relationship of personal growth, achievement, relationship with co-workers, and job security. On demographic variables, position, age, education, and years of service significantly influenced job satisfaction either positively and negatively.
