“…In addition to studying traditionality, researchers have focused on other specific cultural practices and values such as guanxi 2 (Hom & Xiao, 2011;Law, Wang, & Hui, 2010;Shih & Lin, 2014;van Vianen, Shen, & Chuang, 2011), relation-focused culture (Liu, Friedman, & Hong, 2012), benevolence (Chen, Tsui, & Zhong, 2008), traditional values (Fu, Tsui, Liu, & Li, 2010;Lai, Lam, & Liu, 2010), harmony (Chan, Huang, & Ng, 2008), and 'face' (Huang, Davison, & Gu, 2008;Peng & Peterson, 2008). Taken together, these articles are a testament to the contemporary relevance of Chinese cultural traditions.…”

China being the most frequently referenced, and/or are not exclusively related to industrial, work, and organizational (IWO) psychology but also to business and strategy (Bruton & Lau, 2008;Jia et al., 2012;White, 2002). Those that review studies from multiple Asian countries focus either on a specific Asian region, such as South East Asia (Rowley & Warner, 2006;2010), or a specific topic such as human resource management change (Poon & Rowley, 2010), rewards (Wei & Rowley, 2009, or executive communication (Sun, Zhao, & Yang, 2010). The field of IWO psychology needs an inspection of extant research capturing a broader scope of both cultural settings and research topics in Asia. To this end, the current chapter reviews articles using Asian samples in 11 top-tier IWO journals, and contributes to this line of investigation in two ways.First, we report the most common topics and the most frequently used methodologies. Second, and more importantly, we delineate the extent to which the articles contextualize Asian phenomena. Contextualization can make great scholarly contributions by re-examining the assumptions embedded in existing theories and theorizing about the underlying contextual influences (e.g. Whetten, 2009), or by exploring new phenomena in an underappreciated context and developing novel theories about it (Barney & Zhang, 2009). Studying contextualization is increasingly important because the internationalization of scholarship challenges the transportability of existing social science models from one context to another (Rousseau & Fried, 2001). Thus, we focused our attention on IWO psychology articles that used Asian samples and were published in top journals within the past 10 years. The rationale for focusing on works from the past decade is that the review will identify the most recent advances in IWO psychology in Asia in relation to topics, methods, contributions, and contextualization, and it will offer the most relevant directions for future studies aiming at contextualizing Asian phenomena. As we intend to cover a broad range of IWO psychology research topics and to analyze the level of contextualization of each article, we do not attempt to consolidate findings on particular research topics. Likewise, it is not our goal to evaluate individual or institutional contributors, or to assess the impact of particular articles. Methods Literature SearchIn order to determine the array of leading IWO journals, we identified the top 15% of journals publishing in the categories of applied psychology, management, and business, according to the impact factor provided in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) database. We excluded journals geared toward practitioners (e.g. Harvard Business Review), and those that publish only theoretical articles (e.g. Academy of Management Review). This resulted in a list of seven journals:

Workplace offense and victims' reactions: the effects of victim‐offender (dis)similarity, offense‐type, and cultural differences

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

SummaryThis study examined the effects of workplace offenders' characteristics and offense-type on victims' reactions. Responses from 352 employed graduate students in the U.S. and South Korea to a hypothetical offense incident revealed that employees from the U.S. and Korea differ in their expressed desirability of avoiding, seeking revenge against, and reconciling with an offending coworker depending on the offenders' similarity/dissimilarity to the victim and on the type of offense. As expected, Koreans (but not U.S. Americans) were more likely to avoid and to seek revenge on a coworker whose offensive remark was group-rather than personally-directed. In addition, Koreans were most motivated to reconcile when an offensive remark came from a similar rather than dissimilar coworker and when the offense targeted them personally (not their group). However, U.S. Americans were most motivated to reconcile when an offensive remark came from a similar rather than dissimilar other and when the offense targeted their group (not them personally).
