In this study, the authors proposed a model to study the influencing factors and determine the level and direction of the factors affecting compliance with the law on social insurance of non-state enterprises in Vietnam. The research model is tested with a survey data set of research subjects in Hanoi and the provinces of the Red River Delta, Vietnam. Research results have confirmed the positive impact and level of impact of five factors affecting the compliance with the law on social insurance of non- state enterprises, arranged in order of decreasing importance as follows: the possibility of being inspected and examined by social insurance, corporate reputation, corporate finance, penalties for violations of social insurance and social influence.
