Summary of Thesis Results: The thesis results show that creating a favorable environment fosters the formation and development of good labor relations in enterprises. Conflicts and disagreements in labor relations can stem from work pressures, targets, labor productivity, or specific working conditions within each enterprise. They may also arise from incompatible distribution of benefits and income, and conflicting economic interests among different groups working together. Furthermore, differences in general cultural values and individual characteristics among workers are also a contributing factor. Regarding job creation, enterprises have not prioritized training to improve the professional skills of their employees. In terms of employment contracts, nearly 93.4% of workers sign contracts for 1 to 3 years, with the remainder having contracts of less than one year. Regarding working hours, 57.9% of workers reported working 8-10 hours per day. Such working hours significantly impact the health of workers. Furthermore, workers have to work in shifts, such as morning, afternoon, and evening shifts. The average monthly income for workers is 2 million VND. After calculating monthly expenses for personal living costs, workers only have a small amount left over. This makes life difficult for them. Regarding working conditions in the enterprises, 87.6% of workers believe their factory has sufficient lighting, and 71.1% believe it is spacious. In addition, workers reported that their factory was hot (24%), cold (24.8%), and cramped (2.5%). Overall, the working environment and conditions, as assessed by workers in the surveyed enterprises, are considered good. Regarding the attitude of employers towards employees... In the issues mentioned above, for non-state enterprises, all parameters are at an average level (ratings from 30% to 50%), reflecting a superficial and indifferent attitude of employers towards their employees. This could also be a cause of conflict between workers and managers in enterprises. 11. Practical application: Understanding relationships within enterprises and potentially improving labor relations in enterprises. 12. Future research directions: research on corporate culture, corporate social responsibility, etc.
