Cross-cultural perception and power dynamics across changing organizational and national contexts: Curaçao and the Netherlands
通过荷兰和库拉索的税务局与警察局案例,研究欧洲荷兰人与非洲库拉索人之间的跨文化感知如何随组织与国家背景下的权力不平衡程度而变化。
In this article we study the role of power and power differences in cross-cultural perception. We do so by way of exploratory case studies in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the police in the Netherlands and Curaçao. We demonstrate how cross-cultural perception between two specific ethnic groups, European Dutch and African Curaçaoans, changes depending on the amount of power imbalance in the various organizational and national contexts. With this article, we follow the call for research on the impact of power dynamics on cross-cultural perception, an approach that goes beyond the traditional, dimensional approach that is prevalent in organization literature.
