The findings indicate that self-enhancemen higher-order value (Power – Stimulation), openness to change higher-order value (Hedonism – Self-direction – Achievement), and conformity basic personal vaule impact on employee engagement significantly at the 5% and 1% level, respectively. The research findings inferred that employee engagement is influenced by the basic personal values (Conformity) or the convergence of personal values such as Power and Stimulation values, and Hedonism, Self-direction, and Achievement values. Therefore, engaged employees can be detected based on identifying their personal values. These personal values explain 37.7% of the variance of employee engagement at work in the Vietnam context.
