This study investigates the factors influencing employee satisfaction while working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, we examine the relationships between work-from-home productivity, work stress, health and safety measures, work-life balance, and job satisfaction.An online questionnaire was distributed to 230 employees aged between 25 and 40 in Ho Chi Minh City, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.The findings indicate that work stress negatively affects job satisfaction and work-from-home productivity, while health and safety measures and work-life balance positively influence job satisfaction.Work-from-home productivity does not directly impact satisfaction but promotes work-life balance.The study highlights the importance of addressing work stress, ensuring a safe and healthy work environment, and promoting work-life balance to enhance job satisfaction among remote workers in Ho Chi Minh City during the pandemic.The findings provide valuable insights for organizations and managers to optimize employee well-being and satisfaction in remote work settings.
