Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore the main determinants of employees' work motivation working in Taiwanese-invested enterprises in Vietnam. How these determinants affect workers' job performance is then examined by person-organization fit (P-O fit). The empirical results show that physiological needs, love and belonging needs, self-esteem needs and self-actualization needs are the main determinants of the work motivation of Vietnamese employees in Taiwanese-invested enterprises. Among them, employees' love and belonging needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs will affect task performance and contextual performance via P-O fit. These results may suggest that in order to strengthen the motivation for Vietnamese employees working in Taiwanese-invested enterprises on their job performance, it is necessary to pay more attention to the P-O fit as an intermediary role. The enterprises can develop appropriate strategies to reduce strikes and turnover rates by enhancing work motivation, while improving job performance through P-O fit.
