The Role Structure of Chinese Managers
研究中国河南省管理者的角色结构，发现与北美管理者一致的二维分类，但具有中国商业环境的独特特征，包括领导者角色分裂为任务导向和关系导向，以及政治角色横跨信息与决策维度。
The study investigates the role structure of managers in China's Henan province. The results produce a two-facet classification consistent with Shapira and Dunbar's findings for North American managers, yet displaying a number of unique features attributed to the Chinese business environment. The leader's role of the Chinese manager splits into task-related and relationship-oriented activities, and the monitor role is plotted across the informational and decision facets. An addition to this study, the political role is also found across the two facets, providing integration across the various managerial activities. An open system model of the Chinese managerial role is proposed.
