Introduction It is important issue for the HR manager to control employee turnover. There are certain costs associated with replacing the existing employees like advertising, selecting, recruiting and training (Dalton, Todor, & Krackhardt, 1982). New employees often don’t work effectively as previous workers perform. According to Dess & Shaw (2001), turnover of trained employees is social loss for the organization. Several previous research have examined job satisfaction as a foundation of turnover intentions (Mobley et al., 1979; Price and Mueller, 1981; Shore and Martin, 1989; Ghiselli et al., 2001; McBey and Karakowsky, 2001), however, these research are conducted in the United States and Canada. In addition, these research focus on hospitals, military and food-service companies. However, the research found that turnover intention is predicted by job satisfaction, the strength of the job satisfaction and turnover intentions varies according to each setting. The main purpose of any organizations is to improve their productivity, their performance and to become more competitive and gain a larger market share. HR departments or managers of organizations should be concerned about their employees’ needs and work. To every manager, understanding their employees’ psychology will help him to organize their organization better, as well as, improve the working effects in their organization. They also want to establish satisfactory working conditions to enhance employees’ satisfaction. Every people know that the role of accountants in every organization is very important. Their duties now are not restricted only to bookkeeping but they are involved in different managerial levels, analyze past, examine and evaluate present conditions and make financial decisions for future activities of organizations. Therefore, research to find what make their satisfaction is important too. Autonomy involves responsibility for the outcomes of the work which results in outcomes like high work efficiency and higher levels of intrinsic motivation (Hackman & Oldham1976; Langfred & Moye, 2004). According to Cordery & Wall (1985), Job 7 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com autonomy is the core of job characteristic. It relates to the individual’s freedom in his/her work. If the freedom can partly reduce the stress in the job, then he/she can promote their ability in the job. Therefore, autonomy can make the job productivity. Hackman & Oldham, (1975); Morgeson, Delaney-Klinger &Hemingway, (2005) suggest that Job autonomy is the degree to which the job offers considerable liberty, proving free hand and choice to the individual in scheduling the work and also defining the means to achieve the tasks. According to Saragih (2011), Job autonomy results in an improved job performance because individuals think and consider themselves skillful and creative in accomplishing their tasks. Autonomy and independence are not the same as autonomous workers may depend on interpersonal communication in order to complete the interdependent tasks (Dee, Henkin & Chen, 2000). Campion et al. (1993, 1996) have also examined task interdependence as a job characteristic and they used employees’ perceptions to measure the variable. They found employee task interdependence perceptions were positively related to employee satisfaction (Campion et al., 1993), employee and manager judgments of effectiveness (Campion et al., 1996), and productivity (Campion et al., 1993), suggesting a direct relationship between perceptions and team outcomes. According to Meyer and Allen (1997), affective commitment refers to an employee's emotional attachment to, identification with, and involvement in the organization. Affective commitment is the affective bond an individual feels toward the organization, characterized by identification and involvement with the organization as well as njoyment in being a member of the organization (Allen and Meyer, 1990; Meyer and Allen, 1997; Mowday, Porter, and Steers, 1982). Job satisfaction has effect on to determine staying in or leaving the organization. If employees are dissatisfied with their work they are likely to leave from the organization. If employees believe that they are treated fairly and getting rewards they are unlikely to leave the organization. Focusing on accountant’s job satisfaction, Strawser et al. (1969) are among the first to examine the impact of job satisfaction on the productivity level within this profession. Prodromos, Eftichia, Eleni , Elena and Anastastios (2011) also have a Structural Equation Model about Greek accountants’ satisfaction and turnover intentions. 8 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail. Research background and problem Accounting is said to be the language of business. Business or not-for-profit organization need accounting to identify, record, summarize and report financial transactions used to form decisions. Accountant is an individual or person who performs any or all of the accounting procedures, the identifying, recording, classifying, reporting and interpreting the financial condition and performance of a business or not-for-profit organization. However, the role of the accountants has been developed through the years. Their main duties used to be only to gather and report company’s past activities. Nowadays, accountants are not restricted only to bookkeeping but they are involved in different managerial levels, analyze past, examine and evaluate present conditions and make financial decisions for future investments. Without an accountant business organizations can’t work effectively. Therefore, every business organization needs accountants. Given the reasons above, every organization should not disregard the human contribution specially accountants’ role which is critical for the success. In Vietnam, the increasingly complicated economic environment coupled with heavy reporting requirements from the Government mean that it's more and more difficulties for investors, small business owners and even large companies to navigate their way through their financial interests. So, managers are asking more from their accountants than ever before. However, the situation of lacking of good accountants in companies is very popular lately. According to LaoDong (newspaper) online (http://laodong.vn/cong- doan/lao-dong-nganh-ke-toan-bo-viec-hang-loat-118207.bld), the turnover rate of Vietnamese companies has been dramatically increased recently, especially in accounting field. From April to May in 2013, Employment Support Office of Laodong newspaper has received 1. Almost the applications are belonged to unemployed accountants (accounting for over 600 applications). Lao Dong online suggests that there are many reason leads to the high rate of accountants’ turnover, however, the main reason causes high turnover rate of accountant is job dissatisfaction, such as low salary, low working condition and etc. Lao Dong online also stated that almost accountants who quit their job are working on small and average companies. 9 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com This causes many troubles for Vietnamese companies, such as recruitment and training. Therefore, this research is conducted to find out the most factors affecting job satisfaction in order to make a contribution into reducing turnover rate of Vietnamese accountants. This research conducts on accountants who are working in companies in Nha Trang City. The purpose of this research is to explore perceptions of accountants in Nha Trang companies and their working environment, their effect on job satisfaction and turnover intention. In more detail, the study examines the possible effects of job characteristics, internal work motivation, and commitment (professional and organizational)…on accountants’ job satisfaction and turnover intention.
