“…Chinese people are found to be overly sensitive to others' evaluations (Xie & Leong, 2008), and their behaviors are more likely to be determined by contextual factors than by personality traits (Church, 2000;Hsu, 1971). Maintaining good relationships with others is considered more important than feeling good about themselves.…”

Chinese students are the biggest ethnic group of international students in the United States. This study aims to develop a reliable and valid scale to accurately measure their acculturative stress. A 72-item pool was sent online to Chinese students and a five-factor scale of 32 items was generated by exploratory factor analysis. The five factors included language insufficiency, social isolation, perceived discrimination, academic pressure, and guilt toward family. The Acculturative Stress Scale for Chinese Students demonstrated high reliability and initial validity by predicting depression and life satisfaction. It was the first Chinese scale of acculturative stress developed and validated among a Chinese student sample in the United States. In the future, the scale can be used as a diagnostic tool by mental health professionals and a self-assessment tool by Chinese students.

“…It has been observed by cultural anthropologists that Chinese perceive human being as inseparable from his or her surrounding network (Hsu, 1971). For example, the Chinese character for man (ren) carries the meaning of connectedness and reciprocal relations, whereas the English word 'man' carries the meanings of separateness, free will, and individualism (Hsu, 1971).…”

Western scholars have increasingly emphasized the importance of employee actions that are not specifically designated in their formal job duties, or organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Most of these studies were conducted in the U.S. using US employee population as samples. Using an inductive approach, we examined forms of OCB in the People's Republic of China, a socialist country with strong collectivism.From a diverse sample of 166 employees and managers in 75 state-owned, collective, joint venture, and private enterprises in the PRC, we collected 756 OCB items that were commonly observed at workplace. These items were then subjected to a rigorous content analysis to identify major forms of OCB. Results of our analysis revealed 11

“…What will be particularly interesting to attention is cultural anthropologists have observed that Chinese people as inseparable from his or her surrounding network (Hsu, 1971) [17] . Moreover, Chinese has the collectivistic orientation, which means that Chinese primarily attempt to establish and maintain a harmonious relationship with his or her social surroundings in daily work life (Farh, Zhong and Organ, 2004) [18] .…”

Abstract-Despite the growing number of studies on the motivations of organizational citizenship behavior(OCB) in work context, there are few studies which take Chinese culture into account such as guanxi. Based on literature review and theoretical analysis, authors discuss the motivations of OCB's altruism from a perspective of guanxi in Chinese organizations and argue OCB can be triggered by altruistic or self-interested motivations that are produced by Confucianism and guanxi culture. By this way, it is necessary to provide reference to expand the future researches on OCB and improve the practice of management in Chinese context.
