T he results showed that there were significant differences between organizational culture dimensions , leadership competencies, job satisfaction, job commitment, and job performance among different companies in Vietnam and Thailand. Companies in Vietnam generally had lower scores compared to companies in Thailand and Vietnam ese and Thai joint venture/international com panies. The relationships between organizational culture and leadership competencies , organizational culture and job satisfaction, organizational culture and organizational commitment with job performance with significant relationships were considered . Employee development orientation had a strong relationship with job performance. Managers should pay attention to this dimension in order to increase employee job performance.
