This paper investigates the factors influencing work engagement among local Vietnamese staff in multinational corporations by focusing on the impacts of work motivation and work-life balance on work engagement. It explores the role of salary, bonuses, financial rewards, and career promotion in shaping employees’ motivation. A structured questionnaire was administered to 279 respondents working at Samsung Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd. The collected data were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques and SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that career promotion opportunities significantly influence work motivation, surpassing salary, bonuses, and financial rewards. Work motivation and work-life balance positively affect work engagement, with work motivation exhibiting a more substantial impact. The study emphasizes the importance of clear career paths and growth opportunities in enhancing employee work motivation and engagement. It also underscores the need for organizations to create a supportive work environment, offer competitive compensation packages, and implement recognition programs. These findings have practical implications for multinational corporations operating in Vietnam, highlighting the significance of prioritizing employee career progression, promoting work-life balance, and fostering a motivating work environment.
