“…Now the foreign instructor has to contend not only with the cultural norms and backgrounds of the domestic students but also those of the foreign students as well. Even among students of similar collectivist (Confucian) societal orientation there are differences in perceptions about ethical norms in business (Chung et al 2008). …”

The purpose of this exploratory study is to examine the determinants of alternative forms of academic misconduct among undergraduate students in a Korean university. An economic model of college cheating is estimated using logistic regression. The study differs from other studies in that it frames the issue of academic dishonesty in the context of recent developments to internationalize higher education in Korea, highlighting certain unique aspects of the Korean educational system that are undergoing rapid change and have largely remained unexamined in the literature. The presence of a native English-speaking foreign instructor in class, English-taught classes, and class levels are significant predictors of in-class cheating and such types of academic misconduct as seeking outside help and plagiarism. GPA, class size, cheating tolerance, and study-abroad experience are significant in some types of illicit academic behavior but not in others. Gender and being a foreign student turn out to be weak predictors.

“…Following this line of reasoning, we would expect to observe differences between Americans and Chinese in terms of ethical behavior. Empirical study generally supports this argument (Chung, Eichenseher and Taniguchi, 2008). For example, Shafer et al (2007) investigated the effects of nationality and personal values on managers' perception of the role of ethics and social responsibility.…”

“…We selected China, India, and Thailand as these countries represent distinct cultural clusters in Asia. China is part of the Confucian-influenced cluster (alongside Singapore, Japan, and South Korea) that centers around social hierarchy, observance of standardized rituals, and collective harmony (Chung, Eichenseher, & Taniguchi, 2007;Ronen & Shenkar, 2013;Schwartz, 1990). Thailand shares these Confucian traditions, but their collective ideals are also shaped largely by Buddhism, which advocates compassion and loving kindness (Pace, 2013).…”

Asia’s materialists: Reconciling collectivism and materialism

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Materialism has an ugly face. The dominant view of materialism regards materialists as self-prioritizing individuals who oppose collective and prosocial goals in favor of a lifestyle led by money, possessions, and status. The present research argues that there is a side of materialism that is concerned with collective-oriented interests. We examine the nature and consequences of collective-oriented materialism -the belief system that ascribes importance to possessions for their symbolic and signaling capacities to construct desirable social attributes. Drawing from cultural and consumer theories, we find considerable support that materialists espouse a collective-oriented quality to an otherwise self-oriented interest towards possessions.
