Eastern values: a comparison of managers in the United States, Hong Kong, and the People's Republic of China
Article Abstract:
This study assessed the differences and similarities in values among practicing managers in the United States, Hong Kong, and the People's Republic of China. The Chinese Value Survey (CVS), an instrument based on Eastern cultural values, was used instead of the typically used Western instruments. Discriminant analysis was used to identify which of four CVS dimensions accounted for the significant differences among the three subject groups. The models of the discriminant analysis are discussed and compared with the hypothesized relationships among the three countries. The findings indicate that three CVS dimensions - Integration, Confucian Work Dynamism, and Human Heartedness - discriminated among the groups. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Measuring person-job fit with a profile-comparison process
Article Abstract:
One outgrowth of the person-situation debate has been the use of fit or congruence models to explain work outcomes. In this study, the profile-comparison process, a Q-sort-based technique that provides an isomorphic assessment of job requirements and individual competencies, was used to assess person-job fit in 7 small samples representing a variety of jobs and organizations. The results show that overall person-job fit is strongly related to a number of outcomes, including job performance and satisfaction. Implications for the assessment of persons and jobs are discussed. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
