“…In addition, how do employees' Zhong‐Yong beliefs link to performance behaviour (such as task performance, creative performance, and extra‐role behaviour), and creative performance in particular. Yao, Yang, Dong and Wang () found that employees' Zhong‐Yong has no significant relation with innovation behaviour but negatively moderates the relationship between self‐perceived creative efficacy and innovation behaviour. In other words, Zhong‐Yong and employee creative efficacy are mutually substitutes for impacting innovation behaviour.…”

In the pursuit of well-being at work, work stress is always an inescapable challenge. However, existing research shows that the relationships between work stress and employee outcomes are inconsistent, which indicates that the concept of work stress needs further investigation. Moreover, Zhong-Yong serves as a cognitive strategy to coping with stress as well as being a pivotal life wisdom and practical rationality. Using a questionnaire survey, this study explores the relationship between work stress, employee well-being, and Zhong-Yong beliefs. The work stress was classified into challenge-and hindrance-related stress while emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction were used as well-being indicators. Using a sample of 394 employees from private enterprises in Taiwan as subjects, the results show that (1) hindrance-related stress is destructive to employee well-being;(2) challenge-related stress is positively associated with emotional exhaustion but has no significant relation with job satisfaction; (3) Zhong-Yong beliefs mitigate the harm from hindrance-related stress on employee wellbeing; and (4) Zhong-Yong beliefs weaken the negative effects of challenge-related stress on emotional exhaustion, and transform challenge-related stress into eustress for job satisfaction.

This paper posits that innovation as a competence generic from individuals and the environment in which they are engaged. It focuses on individuals by proposing a method for measuring innovation as a competence. It is postulated here that innovation as a competence involves a set of competencies such as: visioning, ability to generate ideas, internal and external networking relationship, ownership to the organisation, stretch mindset, focus on tasks and decision making. However, these competencies are determined by gender, age, reading habits and educational background of individuals, etc. It is attempted here to construct an empirical model and analyse the impacts of the determining parameters on innovation as a competence. The empirical analysis suggests significant differentiating determinants. The study has been carried out in an Indian information technology company. The findings may facilitate human resource decision making relating to competency management.Keywords: innovation as a competence; information technology industry; human resource development; empirical research; ordinal logistic regression; business innovation and research.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Waychal, P., Mohanty, R.P. and Verma, A.

“…Specifically, the sociocultural force dominant within China (i.e., Zhong Yong) drives Chinese individuals to seek the midpoint between two extreme views to achieve harmony from a holistic perspective (Yao et al, 2010); this cultural value may be amplified during group decision making due to the greater salience of collectivism (Hong, 1978).…”

We examine cross-national differences in attitudes and decisions toward risk by comparing Chinese (collectivists), South Korean (collectivists, but with distinctive localized cultural norms), and Australian (individualists) undergraduate student samples from a balanced cross-cultural perspective. Individual evaluation revealed that risk was least favored by the Chinese students in their attitudes and choices, followed by the South Korean and Australian students. Unlike previous results from South Korean and Australian student samples that exhibited unique shifts toward risky choices indicative of group polarization, the Chinese students did not tend to take greater risks when making group versus individual decisions (i.e., risky shift). This was regardless of the group's gender composition, although the pattern did vary according to financially oriented risk domains. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of each country's indigenous sociocultural norms.
