Abstract: Abstract Adult people are always structured diversely based on their gender, age, and work experience in the government versus private enterprises. To investigate the task, relationship and stress orientations of Vietnamese adults, this research examined 294 Vietnamese people living in three main cities in Vietnam including Hanoi (the capital) in the north, Vinh in the middle and Ho Chi Minh in the south. It found that they have different mean scores on task and relationship orientations. Gender, age and government work experience seem to be essential factors in leadership orientation and overload stress perception. Additionally, older people appear to be more task-oriented than their younger counterparts. In summary, the Vietnamese respondents confirmed a moderate stress perception regardless of age, gender and government work experience.
