我国企业“和谐组织”内容结构的实证研究——从国家文化视角探讨易学和谐文化与企业管理

Harmony in Chinese Organizations:from the Perspective of National Culture

国家文化对跨国员工态度行为的重大影响是全球化时代管理学的重要议题。本文从组织行为学的国际视角与我国国家和谐文化的观点出发,以我国企业员工为研究对象,运用因素分析与结构方程模型,得到"和谐组织"八因素模型。其八个维度完全符合易学八卦象逻辑,表明我国员工的确深受中国易学文化的影响。本研究除验证了国家文化在组织行为学中的重要意义,有助于企业有效管理与整合跨文化的人力资源,也在一定程度上支持了Hofstede与Bond(1988)提出的儒家动力论(Confucian Dynamism)文化特征的意义与价值。

The great impact of national culture on employee＇ s work values is a critical issue for global management nowadays. From the perspective of national culture, this paper examines if harmonious culture originated from Yijing is embedded in Chinese organizations by investigating how Chinese employees identify harmony at workplace. Employing exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses together with structural equation modeling, an eight-factor framework is discovered that displays a similar pattern to the eight-trigram model symbolizing harmony in Yijing. More specifically, the eight factors formulated here fit with the semantic and symbolic implications of the eight trigrams very well, demonstrating that the current mindset of Chinese workers is still significantly affected by their traditional national culture. In addition to embodying the thoughts of the fifth cultural dimension - Confucian dynamism, the research results are beneficial for non-Chinese executives to understand and manage Chinese staff effectively.
