TL;DR: In this paper, the role of three characteristics of international managers, namely nationality, cultural distance, and expatriate status, for their network ties is studied, and the implications for international management theory and practice are discussed.
Abstract: We study the role of three characteristics of international managers—nationality, cultural distance, and expatriate status, for their network ties. A network analysis of cross-subsidiary interactions among 457 managers in an MNE demonstrates that managers form strong expressive ties with peers with smaller cultural distance and from the same status group. However, managers form strong instrumental ties with peers who are different on these background characteristics. The implications for international management theory and practice are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative structural equation modelling was used to test the relationship between manifestations of leadership, culture type and effectiveness in the public sector. But the authors did not consider the effect of individual transformational leadership on outcomes.
Abstract: Using comparative structural equation modelling, the present study attempts to test hypothesised relationships between manifestations of leadership, culture type and effectiveness in the public sector. Two consecutive national leadership surveys were conducted to investigate organisational factors that are relevant to the pressing management issues present in the uncertain and turbulent environment of today's public sector. Measured constructs include transformational/transactional organisational culture, climate for innovation, individual transformational leadership, team transformational leadership, and team and organisational outcomes. Support was found for the indirect and direct effects of transformational leadership on outcomes through its influence on transformational/ transactional culture and climate for innovation. Implications for leader development and for the development of productive cultures are considered.

TL;DR: The article traces the history of the 2 constructs though JAP has been far more important for climate than culture research, and summarizes and comment on the major theory and research achievements in each period.
Abstract: We review the literature on organizational climate and culture paying specific attention to articles published in the Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) since its first volume in 1917. The article traces the history of the 2 constructs though JAP has been far more important for climate than culture research. We distinguish 4 main periods: the pre-1971 era, with pioneering work on exploring conceptualization and operationalizations of the climate construct; the 1971-1985 era, with foundational work on aggregation issues, outcome-focused climates (on safety and service) and early writings on culture; the 1986-1999 era, characterized by solidification of a focused climate approach to understanding organizational processes (justice, discrimination) and outcomes (safety, service) and the beginnings of survey approaches to culture; and the 2000-2014 era, characterized by multilevel work on climate, climate strength, demonstrated validity for a climate approach to outcomes and processes, and the relationship between leadership and climate and culture. We summarize and comment on the major theory and research achievements in each period, showing trends observed in the literature and how JAP has contributed greatly to moving research on these constructs, especially climate, forward. We also recommend directions for future research given the current state of knowledge. (PsycINFO Database Record

TL;DR: The concept of culture is one of those seemingly commonsense words that implies a taken-for-granted meaning as mentioned in this paper, and we all know what we mean when we talk about Japanese culture, corporate culture, or, on the other hand, to be a cultured individual in art and music.
Abstract: The encounter with persons, one by one, rather than categories and generalities,
is still the best way to cross lines of strangeness.—Mary Catherine Bateson (2000, p. 81)The concept of culture is one of those seemingly commonsense words
that implies a taken-for-granted meaning. After all, we all know what we
mean when we talk about Japanese culture, corporate culture, or, on the
other hand, to be a cultured individual in art and music. As educators, we
are urged to be aware of cultural issues and try to incorporate culturally
sensitive pedagogy. Yet, once we start to peel back the layers of this
common usage, we find a complex history, a variety of definitions, and
wide disparity in theories of culture.
