To maintain and develop in the fast-growing world nowadays, the roles of white-collar officers are crucially significant as well as the necessity of properly understanding their job motivations – which could beneficially influence the economic growth of one's company, or nation. Thus, this study examined elements that could affect employees' motivation in working, and whether those factors would have any significant impacts on the overall job satisfaction levels of work. The convenience sampling was used to collect data from 2409 white-collar officers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (including 1159 males and 1250 females). In this study, descriptive statistics, reliability statistics, factor analysis, and multiple regression are exercised as statistical tools. The results indicated that the working environment, job characteristics, promotion opportunities, salary, co-workers, and supervisors are positively associated with the white-collar officers' job satisfaction. Especially, the collected findings suggested that white-collar officers, in the Ho Chi Minh City context, were mostly determined by supervisory factors in work satisfaction. Therefore, the management of corporations should focus on these factors to enhance higher job satisfaction, organizational efficiency, and employee retention. The results could be a useful suggestion for implication in developing management strategies, especially for Vietnamese corporations.
