With the aim of identifying factors affecting job satisfaction of employees, this research was conducted in 2015, with a sample size of 207 employees working at HCMC University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE). Basing on the previous studies, the author proposed a model of 10 variables including 9 independent variables and one dependent variable. After discussions in groups, the research model was adjusted to a model of 8 independent variables: Wages; Promotion opportunities; Monitoring; Welfare; Management system; Colleague; Nature of work; Information systems and communication, whilst the dependent variable is job satisfaction. The study identified six factors that significantly impact on job satisfaction of employees at HCMUTE. In particular, factor that has the strongest impact is Nature of work (β =.651, sig. = .000). The research also found some differences in perception and evaluation of factors affecting job satisfaction of different groups of employees.
