  • being different yet feeling similar the influence of demographic composition and organizational culture on work processes and outcomes
    Administrative Science Quarterly, 1998
    Co-Authors: Jennifer A Chatman, Jeffrey T Polzer, Sigal G Barsade, Margaret A Neale
    Abstract:

    This research was supported by a Center for Creative Leadership grant to the first author. We thank Dan Brass, Ben Hermalin, Rod Kramer, and three anonymous reviewers for helpful comments on earlier drafts of the paper, and Linda Johanson for working her usual editorial magic. We also thank Zoe Barsness, Joe Baumann, Mary Cusack, Brenda Ellington, Tiffany Galvin, Anne Lytle, Ann Tenbrunsel, Melissa Thomas-Hunt, and Kim Wade-Benzoni for help in administering the study. Drawing from self-categorization theory, we tested hypotheses on the effects of an organization's demographic composition and Cultural Emphasis on work processes and outcomes. Using an organizational simulation, we found that the extent to which an organization emphasized individualistic or collectivistic values interacted with demographic composition to influence social interaction, conflict, productivity, and perceptions of creativity among 258 MBA students. Our findings suggest that the purported benefits of demographic diversity are more likely to emerge in organizations that, through their culture, make organizational membership salient and encourage people to categorize one another as having the organization's interests in common, rather than those that emphasize individualism and distinctiveness among members..

  • Are shared models always Cultural models? A study of the Cultural model of affect and emotion in Chuuk
    Journal of Cultural Cognitive Science, 2019
    Co-Authors: Edward D. Lowe
    Abstract:

    This article investigates a theoretical tension in Cultural models theory between their sharedness and their origin in social and Culturally mediated experiences. To address this tension empirically, this article presents a mixed-methods analysis of the shared understanding of a typology of emotion in Chuuk Lagoon. Based on a review of contemporary theory, one would expect that while people in Chuuk would have distinct Cultural models for specific Culturally meaningful paradigmatic emotions, the shared model for the entire typology of emotion would be structured by two universal dimensions of core affect (arousal and hedonic quality). But this theoretical literature ignores the importance of an intersubjective dimension of prereflective experience. This dimension may be Culturally muted in industrial, educated, and rich contexts where most prior research has been conducted but Culturally emphasized in places like Chuuk. The mixed-methods analysis finds that an intersubjective dimension along with a hedonic quality dimension structures the shared model of a typology for affect and emotion in Chuuk, while the arousal dimension found elsewhere is muted. Thus, shared models of affect and emotion are Cultural models both in terms of specific, Culturally elaborated emotions and in terms of the Cultural Emphasis given to underlying affective and intersubjective dimensions.
