The employee engagement is an approach in the study of organizational behavior. There have been many studies done to find out the factors affecting the employee engagement to the organization. Limitation of previous studies is that, when choosing the number of factors to be retained, authors based only on the Eigienvalues (eigenvalue-one criterion). They did not take into account the cumulative percentage, screening test, percentage. The variance is calculated for each factor and the interpretability of each factor (The Interpretability Criterion). When doing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), previous studies also did not test the statistical power of the studies. Samples of those studies, have often been taken according to empirical formulas that did not take into account the required statistical power and degrees of freedom of the study. This study was conducted at the social insurance agency of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, from January 2019 to May 2019, with the aims to finding out and identify the factors that affect to employee engagement, with the analysis has supplementing and overcoming the shortcomings as mentioned above.

The analysis results show that employee engagement with the organization is positively affected by 5 factors. The order of impact level are: Salary, bonus and welfare; Training and development opportunities; Organizational culture; Relationships with colleagues and Organizational Leadership Style.

Organizational behavior researchers and social exchange theorists recognize the important role organizational context plays in team performance, yet few researchers have systematically examined contextual variables. We investigated 127 scientific research teams in universities in China, and found that knowledge integration (KI) mediated the relationship between perceived organizational support and team innovative performance (TIP). We also found that climate for innovation and organizational context moderated the positive relationship between team KI behavior and TIP. Our findings indicate that in the knowledge management process, it is important for scientific research teams within universities to build up an atmosphere of aspiration, openness, tolerance, and acceptance of differences.

The flexibility of the organization results from changes in the business environment and internal conditions of companies, and the multidimensionality of the concept of the flexibility of operations leads to the considerations in terms of organizational behavior from the perspective of enterprise management. Family businesses are a special group, among others, characterized by the type of management, level of innovativeness, acquisition and mobilization of capital, cultural continuity, but also stability and flexibility of operation. The aim of the article is to diagnose the level of flexibility in the process of introducing innovations and new technologies by family businesses.
