全球化時代華人組織行為之研究

Chinese Organizational Behavior Studies in the Age of Globalization

在全球化的趨勢之下，根植於本土文化、具有文化特殊性的組織行為已逐漸成為重要的研究議題。然而，相較於組織行為研究在西方情境下的卓越成就，針對華人特有組織行為所累積的研究成果仍處於起步階段。在本文中，我們認為普遍受到歡迎的跨文化研究取向，並無法真正獲得對華人組織行為的深度了解，真正應該被採用的是一種全方位的本土研究取向。我們以華人組織中家長式領導模式的理論發展為例，說明應該怎樣實際應用全方位取向來研究組織議題，並且討論此一取向能為全球化時代下的組織行為研究帶來哪些啟示。

Because of globalization, cultural-specific organizational behavior rooted in local cultural origins has received more and more research attention. Compared to the tremendous achievement of organizational behavior research in a Western context, research progress on Chinese organizational behavior is still in its infancy. In this article, we argue that a popular cross-cultural research approach cannot lead to a deep understanding of Chinese organizational behavior. Instead, a full-cycle indigenous research approach has to be employed. Taking the development of the paternalistic leadership model in the Chinese organization context as an example, we illustrate how to apply empirically the full-cycle indigenous approach to organizational research and discuss the implications of such an approach for organizational behavior studies in the age of globalization.
