Data were drawn from questionnaires completed by 307 managers of government, private, and mixed organizations registered in the stock market. Results revealed that participants displayed a high tendency toward collectivism and a weak commitment to individualism. In addition, they demonstrated a strong preference for consultative and participative decision styles and a dislike for autocratic and delegative decision styles. Although participants believed that the most effective decision style was the participative approach, most believed that their immediate supervisors employed a pseudoconsultative approach. In general, work collectivism was found to be positively correlated with both collectivism measures and individualism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
