Abstract:
|
This paper took issue with Western conceptualizations of Chinese culture in scholarly research on Chinese organizational communication practices. It examined Weber’s thesis on the relationship between religion and capitalism and critiqued his investigation of Confucianism with regard to whether it helped to promote the growth of capitalism in China. It further examined Hofstede and Bond’s argument about the connection between Confucianism and economic growth in East Asia. It reviewed the Chinese Values Survey study and critiqued its findings in terms of reliability and validity. Impact of this study on other studies on Chinese organizational communication practices was explored. This paper also examined the individualism-collectivism construct and investigated how it impacted scholarly research by Western scholars on Chinese organizational communication practices. Postcolonialist theory was applied to guide the review and examination of these conceptualizations. |
