 Abstract:

Motivation and performance are crucial factors regarding university success and students’ achievements. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of motivation to work on the performance of lecturers using exploratory factor analysis and multi-linear regression. Questionnaires were used to collect data from respondents. The data were analyzed by frequencies, percentages, means, Pearson’ Linear Correlation Coefficient, exploratory factor analysis, and multi-linear regression model based on the survey data of 321 university lecturers at Vietnam National University, Hanoi. The research results show four factors that positively affect the performance of lecturers, including wages and other benefits, training and development, working environment, and working motivation. As a result, the study is the basis for making appropriate policies that contribute to enhance the motivation and performance of the lecturers.
