The value system of young civil servants is a component of the Vietnamese value system. The study was conducted in March 2024 using a survey method using a questionnaire with 656 young civil servants and public employees (from 18 to 30 years old) in 6 districts of the city including: Dong Da, Cau Giay, Bac Tu Liem, Hoai Duc, Dong Anh, Gia Lam showing: “Sense of responsibility; Filial piety; Kindness; Honesty” are the values that young civil servants consider most important to themselves. Young people expect civil servants to have both “virtue” and “talent”, the most prominent of which is the model of “Honesty” civil servants; duty; culture”. Research results show that when young people value a value, they also tend to expect that value and quality from those working in public service
