A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PERSONAL VALUES AND MANAGERIAL BEHAVIOR.
Abstract
Cross-cultural research studies belong to two categories: (a) studies to demonstrate 'cultural relativity' and (b) studies to test patterns of relationships between variables. The first type of studies attempt to understand how a particular phenomenon is exemplified in the various cultures that are of interest. The second type of studies probe for patterns of relationships between variables that are universal in nature; even though the behavior exemplified in each culture may be different. In such studies, the cultures being studied become a sample for the world population of cultures. The present study belongs to the second category of cross-cultural research, although the sample is limited to two cultures. (Author)
