Researchers have used various concepts to understand the conditions and dynamics by which conflict can be managed constructively. This review proposes that variety of terms obscures consistent findings open-minded discussions in protagonists freely express their own views, listen opposing ones, then integrate them promote constructive conflict. Studies from several traditions also suggest mutual benefit relationships are critical antecedents for discussion. integration research identifies...

abstract Developing participative leadership may be particularly challenging when managers are working cross‐culturally and in China. One hundred sixty‐three Chinese employees from various industries mainland China were surveyed about their relationships the effectiveness of participation with American managers. Results, including structural equation analyses, support hypotheses that cooperative, but not competitive or independent, goals helped foreign strengthen quality as measured by...

The global COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted personal and work lives created great uncertainty stress, especially for frontline health care professionals like doctors nurses who risk while facing increased workloads new COVID-related tasks. People can passively respond to this disruption, or they be more active choose shape the conditions surrounding their during crisis. We designed a multiwave, multisource study examining whether proactive orientation is key resource in pandemic. Drawing from...

Contrary to the traditional belief that decision-making autonomy enhances employee well-being, we investigate cognitive circumstances and mechanisms through which daily leads mental fatigue. Integrating self-regulation theory with construal-level theory, propose triggers activities related task reflexivity, subsequently results in next-day We identify trait construal level as a key moderating factor, arguing indirect effect of on fatigue reflexivity is particularly pronounced when employees...

Given the susceptibility of cross‐cultural interaction to misunderstandings and disagreements, conflict management may be especially useful for helping employees develop quality leader relationships with their foreign managers. One hundred eleven Chinese from various industries in Shanghai were interviewed on specific incidents where they had a conflict, defined as incompatible actions, Japanese manager or American manager. A qualitative analysis statistical tests data supported hypotheses...

Abstract Studies linking proactive personality to creativity have primarily taken a future‐oriented perspective, describing process where individuals assess future opportunities and risks of creative endeavors. Complementing this approach, we draw on an attribution theory perspective delineate how relates employee through the serial mediating effects job reflective learning—a backward‐looking cognitive process—and activated positive affective states. Job learning captures self‐assessments...

In an experiment with 80 participants in China, protagonists opposing views organizations that valued collectivism, compared to individualism, were found develop cooperative goals, confident they could work, sought understand, and demonstrated understood the arguments, accepted these arguments as reasonable, combined positions create integrated decision. The inductions comparing who harmony a goal or technique which pretended agree only partially effective did not yield significant...

Purpose Scholarly research provides few insights into how integrating the western values of individualism and low power distance with eastern collectivism high may influence cross-cultural conflict management. Following framework theory cooperation competition, purpose this paper is to directly examine impacts organization-level individualism, as well distance, determine interactive effects these four factors on Design/methodology/approach This a 2×2 experiment study. Data were collected...

This study examines antecedents and outcomes of leader—member exchange (LMX) in China by relating the theory co-operation competition research on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) to LMX. One hundred seventy supervisor—subordinate dyads a watch-case manufacturing factory southern were studied. Co-operation LMX assessed subordinates, OCB their immediate supervisors. Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that predicted LMX, which turn OCB. These results interpreted as further...

Cross-cultural researchers have recently argued the need to develop frameworks that can help a diversity of individuals overcome obstacles work together productively. This study proposes co-operative, compared competitive and an avoidance, approach managing conflict strengthen relationships between foreign managers Chinese employees. These in turn facilitate trust job commitment. Using critical incident technique, employees from mainland China were interviewed on their interactions with...

How newcomers interact with experienced employees has been thought to affect their socialization and performance. This study complements previous newcomer research by examining the role of organizational values on this interaction.

Increased employee mobility and the widespread use of teams underline importance understanding socialization newcomers into groups. Applying theory cooperation competition, this study experimentally investigated relationship between team climate newcomer performance. We found that a cooperative, in comparison to competitive or independent strengthened interaction other members. Thereby, facilitated socialization.

In this paper we discuss about our experiences in improving the performance of GEMM (both single and double precision) on Fermi architecture using CUDA, how new features such as cache affect performance. It is found that addition GPU one hand helps processers take advantage data locality occurred runtime but other renders dependency algorithmic parameters less predictable. Auto tuning then becomes a useful technique to address issue. Our auto-tuned SGEMM DGEMM reach 563 GFlops 253...
