Tóm tắt

Lecturers’ work motivation is a critical determinant of teaching quality, research performance, and the overall reputation of higher education institutions. This study examines the effects of key influencing factors— namely the legal framework, material resources, and human resources—on policies aimed at enhancing employees’ work motivation. Data were collected from 528 lecturers and administrators across 10 local public universities in Vietnam. The findings reveal that all examined factors exert significant and positive effects on the development and implementation of motivational policies. These results provide robust empirical evidence to support the refinement of human resource policies in higher education, particularly in the context of institutional autonomy, performance orientation, and accountability, with the aim of attracting and retaining high-quality academic staff. The study further highlights the need to strengthen the legal framework and autonomy mechanisms, enhance leadership capacity and human resource management practices, and design performance-based, transparent, and competitive policies related to evaluation, compensation, professional development, and working conditions. Such measures are essential for fostering sustainable work motivation among lecturers in public universities.
