Cultural Perspective on Work Motivation
This study examines cultural variations in workplace motivation and personality processes among the Indian and American corporate workforce. The broad argument is that persons of different cultures who come together in the global workplace may not share the same conceptions of workplace practices and personal goals. Culturally-grounded beliefs about self, others, interpersonal, and social situations may systematically influence motivation.
