What people from one culture perceive as workplace freedom, those from another may view as simple disorganization
Workers who feel they have autonomy - that they are free to make choices in the workplace and be accountable for them - are happier and more productive according to an extensive research literature review. Yet there's no universal cross-cultural definition of autonomy.
What people from one culture perceive as workplace freedom, those from another may view as simple disorganization. This is one of the conclusions of a chapter featured in a new book on workplace autonomy, Human Autonomy in Cross-Cultural Context: Perspectives on the Psychology of Agency, Freedom, and Well-Being (Springer), that's coauthored by professors Marylène Gagné and Devasheesh Bhave from Concordia's John Molson School of Business.
"Autonomy is important in every culture," says Gagné, about her chapter entitled, Autonomy in the Workplace: An Essential Ingredient to Employee Engagement and Well-Being in Every Culture?
