Abstract
This paper examines the impact of cultural values on employee engagement and the interaction effects of the former on the latter. The study is based on a statistical analysis of survey data from India, USA, UK, Germany, Ecuador, Denmark, France, Switzerland, and China collected online via the web survey system. The findings reveal that power distance has a negative impact on employee engagement. On the contrary, values like collective individualism, in-group collectivism and assertiveness have a positive impact on employee engagement. The remaining five cultural dimensions showed an insignificant relationship towards employee engagement.
