International and Cultural Variations in Employee Assistance Programmes: Implications for Managerial Health and Effectiveness*
研究了员工援助计划在西方与非西方文化中的普及差异，构建了基于社会文化的分析框架，探讨其对全球背景下管理者健康与效能的影响。
abstract While employee assistance programmes (EAPs) are becoming commonplace in large Western organizations, little is known regarding their prevalence in non‐Western cultures. In this paper, we provide a framework for understanding the prevalence of EAPs in four distinct cells of societal culture‐based variations. A cultural matrix for analysing the relative emphases of styles of coping, social support systems, rites and rituals, and the prevalence of EAPs is developed. The implications for managerial health and effectiveness in the global context are discussed.
