“…The use of guanxi practice in a business context raises a number of ethical questions which have been studied from both culturally relativist and normative standpoints (Nolan 2014). On the one hand, there are those who argue that guanxi practice is an important part of China's Confucian heritage and is based on ganqing, feelings of strong attachment and care between dyads (Ho and Redfern 2010;Hwang 2000). From this standpoint, guanxi and guanxi practice are distinct from the forms of networking found in other societies and are an essential feature of Chinese culture.…”

“…Some of the most cited are the Defining Issue Test (Rest, 1986;Rest & Narvàez, 1994), the Person-Situation Interactionist model (Trevino, 1986), the Issue-Contingency Model (Jones, 1991), the Deontological (norms and environment) or Teleological (stakeholders, consequences, personal characteristics) Evaluation model (Hunt & Vitell, 1986, 1993, the Action-Controlled model (Ferrell, Gresham, & Fraedrich,1989), and the Moral Judgment Test (Lind, 2008). The common tenets of these models and tests are that the ethical decision-making process is multidimensional; that it makes use of the interplay between cognition, affect, and behavior; and that it takes into account individual, situational, and issue-specific conditions (Ho et al, 1997;Wimbush, 1999;Ho & Redfern, 2010).…”

“…Since then, studies conducted in Taiwan and Malaysia (Kohlberg, 1981;Saat, Porter, & Woodbine, 2008), Hong Kong (Snell, 1996;Ho & Redfern, 2010), mainland China (Snell & Tseng, 2001), India (Kracher, Chatterjee, & Lundquist, 2002) as well as other venues (McDonald & Pak, 1996) revealed similarities among cultures were more striking than differences; hence, these studies could not totally dispel the universality claim of CMD stages. At the same time, more recent studies looking at guanxi (Au & Wong, 2000;Ho & Redfern, 2010) and other cross-cultural comparisons (Karassavidou & Glaveli, 2007;Vitell & Patwardhan, 2008;Hilliard, Crudele, Matulich, & McMurrian, 2011) do not refute previous frameworks but intimate that national cultures are likely to influence the relationship between moral reasoning and behavior. What seems to be at stake is not so much about gender or culture bias per se, but rather the different contexts, environments, and stimuli that nurture the moral 'maturation' process (Jorgensen, 2006).…”
