“…Women’s ages ranged from 28 to 69 years and thus covered two out of three generations in India (Ghosh & Chaudhari, 2009): Conservatives , born between 1947 and 1969, characterized by social order and caste system, loyal to family and community, career options influenced by family and culture; Integrators , born between 1970 and 1984, characterized by ambition, less conservatism (Erickson, 2009; Roongrerngsuke, 2010).

This article presents a study on international careers and career success of Indian women in Science & Technology (S&T). We conducted interviews with 30 (upper) middle class Indian women in New Delhi and Bangalore (India) who pursued careers abroad as self-initiated expatriates (SIEs). Important elements of career capital competencies in international career pursuits and career success of Indian women SIEs in S&T were: (a) families who value higher education and careers of their female children, which motivated women to pursue international careers to elevate family class status (knowing-why); (b) the motivation to gain knowledge and skills in science and technology (knowing-how) and (c) the encouragement and support from family for women’s international career pursuits, and international networks (knowing-whom). Furthermore, findings show that patriarchy entrenched in Indian society and culture resulted in a lack of organizational capital, which impede career success of women in S&T. We advise organizations in India to implement HR policies and practices embracing the development of career capital to empower Indian women in S&T to be successful in their international careers.

“…Schumann et al [118] perform a cross-cultural comparison of 11 countries (including Thailand, India, and China) in order to examine and compare consumers' behavior in relation to service quality and behavioral intentions, and reveal a moderating impact of culture on consumers' behavior. Roongrerngsuke and Liefooghe [119] note the associations among generational differences, national culture, work-related values, and workers' perception of their organization's attractiveness in Thailand, India, and China. The authors note significant cultural and generational differences in the perceptions of gold-collar workers regarding organizational attractiveness.…”

Health and medical tourism is considered one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry. Recently, research on health resorts has been gaining academic attention in tandem with the positive contribution of the health and medical segments to the tourism industry. The purpose of this study is to better conceptualize how the behavioral intentions of health tourists are shaped in the emerging context of the health resort. This study illuminates the likely perceptions of prospective tourists about the attractions of health resorts, and endeavors to examine the response of health tourists using data from 359 international health tourists/travelers, comprising of Thai, Indian, and Chinese nationalities. The study also uses the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique in order to analyze the responses of international tourists gathered at two international airports in China. The present study shows that tourists' expectations and their behavioral intentions are generally associated indicators of perceived health resort attractions. Expectations play a significant mediating role, while culture impacts the overall phenomenon of proposed associations in a moderating way. Moreover, sustainable tourism attractions also play a significant role in shaping Thai travelers' behavioral responses, while medical facilities and risk levels are considered significant in determining Indian and Chinese travelers' behaviors. By developing theoretical and empirical grounds, this study offers implications for further research and development in health resorts and other niches of health tourism.

“…Although existing empirical evidence has shown that younger generation Chinese employees' work-related values, reinforced by modern economic and institutional reform, are different from those of older generation Chinese employees (e.g. Roongrerngsuke and Liefooghe, 2013), we believe that traditional Chinese values that are primarily prescribed by Confucianism are mostly observed by older generation Chinese employees given that most of their work experience and values were developed before modern economic and institutional reform occurred. Nevertheless, we recognize that our understanding of IHB in the Chinese context can be significantly advanced when future research validates our theoretical model under other traditional (e.g.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a theoretical model describing psychological states and behavioral outcomes experienced and exhibited by older generation interpersonal helping behavior (IHB) recipients in Chinese organizations. Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws upon relevant literature and develops a theoretical model. Findings – The analysis suggests that the extent of IHB that older generation Chinese employees receive from younger generation employees will lead to loss of mianzi, which will then result in reduced perceived generational guanxi, increased intended social isolation, and reduced intention to share task-related knowledge with the younger generation employees. The paper also proposes that perceived generational guanxi and intended social isolation will mediate the relationship between loss of mianzi and intention to share task-related knowledge with younger generation employees. Practical implications – Because mianzi is an important cultural feature in Chinese societies, this paper provides four implications. First, younger generation employees could preserve and/or enhance older generation employees’ mianzi using less powerful messages. Second, younger generation employees should initiate task behaviors involving seeking opinions and expertise from older generation employees before exhibiting IHB. Third, mangers could reduce the negative impact of generational differences by establishing generational mentoring relationships between younger and older generation employees. Finally, younger generation employees could preserve and/or enhance older generation employees’ mianzi by playing the role of an informal subordinate rather than a problem solver when exhibiting IHB. Originality/value – This paper is the first study exploring consequences of IHB from the perceptive of older generation IHB recipients in the Chinese context.
