Patterns of Differential Assimilation and Acculturation for Women in Business Organizations
回顾跨文化适应研究,从组织文化视角提出女性在商业组织中可涵化但不被同化的概念模型,分类差异化适应模式,并探讨改变文化以缓解差异影响。
This article reviews cross-cultural studies on adaptation, specifically acculturation and assimilation, in the context of the literature on organizational culture and develops a conceptual model of women's current status in organizations. A cultural perspective that goes beyond person-and situation-centered theories helps to account for the gender gap in management. The cultural perspective suggests that it is possible for women, like other marginal persons, to acculturate to the organization without being assimilated into it. This article proposes a classification of differential patterns of adaptation for women in business organizations and suggests some options for changing the culture itself in order to mitigate the effects of the differences.
