In order to clarify the significance of these changes, we analyse some of the shortcomings of work motivation under the centrally planned mechanism. Our subsequent discussion leads us to the conclusion that market-driven policies play a key role in the establishment of a work environment in which ability and contributions are valued as central to the management of human resources. Because it allows the performance of each individual to be assessed according to his/her ability and contributions, such an environment lays the basis for significant improvements in labour productivity.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">http://labour-management.anu.edu.au/volumes/volume_4.php</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Work motivation; market-driven policies; work environment; human resources, Vietnam; labour productivity</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/350201.html">350000 Commerce, Management, Tourism and Services > 350200 Business and Management > 350201 Human Resources Management</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/420301.html">420000 Language and Culture > 420300 Cultural Studies > 420301 Cultural Policy Studies</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1965</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Ms Sophie Jerrim</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">27 Sep 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1965;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=1965">item control page</a></p>
