Handbook of Cultural PsychologyAuthors: Levine B. R., Harrington J. R., Uhlmann E. L.
The authors' focus in this chapter is on cross-cultural differences in work habits and values, as well as how they are studied.
The authors review national differences in hours worked and work productivity, cross-national surveys on broad dimensions of culture (e.g., power distance, individualism, tightness, survival values), and their relationships to work-related outcomes, as well as social class as a dimension of work culture.Also considered are the unique contributions of experimental approaches to the cultural psychology of work and their utility in probing specific cultural work-ways, such as guanxi, simpatia, and Protestant relational ideology.Finally, the authors discuss future directions for research on culture and work.
