“…Here we can again reiterate the importance of a cultural perspective. Fang (2010), who opposes Hofstede (2007), highlights the scope for people to absorb cultural learning and to engage in information sharing, unrestricted by traditional national borders and cultural differences. Nevertheless, Kim and Jensen (2014) highlight a continuing difficulty in promoting cultural, experience goods such as films in a foreign market due to the greater cultural distance (as described by Hofstede, 2001) between the filmmakers and the foreign audience.…”

et al. 2017

Grounded in signaling theory, this paper investigates the signals reflecting product quality, innovativeness, reputation and cultural background which influence film performance, that is, film survival (duration on cinema screen) and box office success, in China's changing institutional context. This market has grown substantially and still possesses potential for further development. However, China's unique institutional context presents challenges. By examining an expanded range of potential signals, two of which have not previously been examined in the literature, namely imported films and enhanced format film formats such as 3D and IMAX, we develop a conceptual framework and argue that signaling theory needs to be combined with institutional context. Similar to findings for film industries in other countries, we find quality and reputational signals including budget, star power, sequels, and online Asia Pac J Manag (2018) 35:63-95

“…Although there tends to be a clear distinction between workplace and after-work relationships in the West, in Pakistan this is not necessarily so. Because Pakistan scores highly as a collectivist state (Hofstede, 2001(Hofstede, , 2007, informal relationships are given strong weighting than formal working relationships. Therefore, employees tend to mix both realms, and various after-work social activities may strengthen relationships with significant others.…”

“…Given this holistic culture, it can be that employees differentiate less between occupational and organizational commitment, as they are both work related, than in less holistic cultures. Furthermore the different countries could be examined from the perspective of the Hofstede "paradigm" (Fang, 2010;Hofstede, 2001Hofstede, , 2007 in which the complex phenomenon of culture is changed in simple and measurable terms.…”

Proactive and politically skilled professionals: What is the relationship with affective occupational commitment?

2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this study is to extend research on employee affective commitment in three ways: (1) instead of organizational commitment the focus is on occupational commitment; (2) the role of proactive personality on affective occupational commitment is examined; and (3) occupational satisfaction is examined as a mediator and political skills as moderator in the relationship between proactive personality and affective occupational commitment. Two connected studies, one in a hospital located in the private sector and one in a university located in the public sector, are carried out in Pakistan, drawing on a total sample of over 400 employees. The results show that proactive personality is positively related to affective occupational commitment, and that occupational satisfaction partly mediates the relationship between proactive personality and affective occupational commitment. No effect is found for a moderator effect of political skills in the relationship between proactive personality and affective occupational commitment. Political skills however moderate the relationship between proactive personality and affective organizational commitment.

“…Our view is that this needs to be taken further into discursive, institutional and action 'programmes'. Indigenous 'self-confidence' certainly requires a move far beyond Hofstede's (2007) Asian viewpoint but additionally requires a move away from the dominance of cognition, psychology and the 'Cartesian self' and towards indigenously relevant, embodied mindsets. Amongst other things, this calls for a much greater emphasis upon indigenous 'discourse' (knowledge, language and communication), indigenous institutional formation and indigenous practices and action.…”

Ambicultural blending between Eastern and Western paradigms: Fresh perspectives for international management research

East and Southeast Asian worldviews are distinctly different from those of the West. Westerners and Asians construct their environment differently not least because they construct the notion of 'self' very differently. This paper describes and exemplifies distinctions in cognitive and linguistic styles between East and West and outlines the implications of these styles for environmental perspectives and research paradigms. Examples from Thailand illustrate the philosophical roots and practical implications of an indigenous Eastern perspective for local business interactions. We explore out the privilege afforded in Western, Cartesian paradigms in (Asian) management research and stimulate debate on the benefits of promoting alternative Asian indigenous perspectives for both management research and management practice. We support the idea that Asian management discourse needs more self-confidence and deserves a more prominent place in international research, not least because international management research will greatly benefit from freshly 'blended' perspectives that incorporate Eastern and Western perspectives.
