The impact of organizational culture on employee well-being and productivity is a crucial factor in determining the success of an organization. This study aims to investigate the relationship between organizational culture, employee well-being, and productivity, with a specific focus on Vietnamese organizations. By conducting an extensive review of literature and analyzing empirical evidence, the research identifies key cultural dimensions and organizational practices that influence employee well-being and productivity within the Vietnamese context. This paper delves into how cultural values, leadership styles, communication patterns, and organizational structures shape employee satisfaction, motivation, engagement, and performance. It also sheds light on the unique cultural nuances prevalent in Vietnamese organizations, such as collectivism, hierarchy, and uncertainty avoidance, and how these factors impact employee experiences. Additionally, the research examines case studies from selected Vietnamese companies to gain insights into their organizational cultures and management strategies. Through this analysis, it identifies the challenges and opportunities that exist in enhancing employee well-being and productivity within the Vietnamese cultural landscape. Expanding on these insights, the article presents practical suggestions for cultivating a favorable organizational culture that nurtures the well-being, engagement, and efficiency of employees. These recommendations encompass the promotion of trust, transparency, and inclusivity, the implementation of initiatives to enhance employee well-being, the alignment of organizational objectives with employee values, and the fostering of supportive and empowering leadership. Furthermore, the article puts forth tailor-made workshop sessions for Vietnamese companies, providing guidance on comprehending organizational culture, fostering employee well-being, improving productivity, and honing leadership skills to create a supportive work environment. By addressing the distinct cultural dynamics and offering actionable strategies, this research enables organizational leaders to establish a positive and productive work atmosphere, thereby contributing to the overall success of Vietnamese organizations.
