Ethical perceptions of organizational politics: A comparative evaluation of american and Hong Kong managers
Journal of Business Ethics 13 (12):989 - 999 (1994)
| Abstract | This paper presents a cross-cultural analysis of ethics with U.S. and Hong Kong Chinese managers as subjects. These managers were given the Strategies of Upward Influence instrument and asked to evaluate the ethics of using various political strategies to attain influence within their organizations. Differences were found between Hong Kong and U.S. managers on a variety of dimensions, indicating important differences between these two groups on their perceptions of ethical behavior. In the paper, we identify potential reasons for the findings, and suggest directions for future work in this area. | |||||||||
