Abstract
The purpose of this study is to uncover the work value of Vietnamese workers in Hanoi using a questioner based method. Though several studies investigate this issue focusing on the corporations in Ho Chi Minh, little research has been conducted focusing on the corporations in Hanoi. We examine the difference between blue collar workers and white collar workers regarding the work value. We also focus on the difference between Japanese affiliated firms and local firms. Unskilled workers who have difficulty to get a job are likely to be well motivated because of competitive labor market. A significant difference of motivation toward a job is observed between white collar and blew collar workers.
