N2 - We have conducted face-to-face questionnaire based survey sessions with twenty-three Vietnamese software practitioners in order to determine software process improvement (SPI) de-motivators. The main objective of this study is to provide SPI practitioners with some insight into designing appropriate SPI implementation strategies and to maximize practitioners support for SPI. We asked practitioners to choose and rank various SPI de-motivator against the five types of assessments (high, medium, low, zero or do not know). From this, we propose the notion of 'perceived value' associated with each SPI de-motivator. We have identified 'high' and 'medium' perceived values demotivators that can undermine SPI initiatives. We have identified what demotivates developers and managers to be actively involved in SPI initiatives. We have also identified SPI de-motivators of small-medium and large sized organisations.
