Indigenous Indian Management
Building Cultural Bridges Between China and India
Employing one of the established theories from cross-cultural psychology and sociology, first it is shown that both China and India are collectivist cultures. Then the Chinese and Indian worldviews are compared to highlight fundamental similarities between the two cultures. Finally, it is shown how self-cultivation is emphasised in both China and India. Effort is made to show how ideas presented by Confucius and Lao Tsu are captured in the Indian…
Śraddhā
In this article, the construct of śraddhā which is derived from a sacred Hindu text, the Bhagavad-Gītā is explicated. The analysis of text resulted in nine themes, and many behavioural outcomes of śraddhā such as not finding faults in others. Jñāna or knowledge is seen as mediating between śraddhā and mokṣa or liberation. This relationship is moderated by tatparaḥ (or eager engagement in the spiritual practice one has chosen) and saṃyatendriyaḥ (…

Examining the concept of epistemic violence and its two antecedents, three strategies—developing Indigenous constructs and theories, going beyond the search for universals, and eliminating structural causes of violence—are proposed to generate dialogue between researchers for epistemic harmony

A Perspective on Epistemology and Ontology of Indian Psychology
The epistemology of Indian Psychology (IP) is akin to that of Indian Philosophy or in general the Indian world view of knowledge, truth and belief about making sense of the self and the world. In this article, the epistemological and ontological foundations of IP are derived from a verse from the Ishopanishad and corroborated by verses from the Bhagavad-Gita. In doing so, epistemological questions like what is knowledge in IP or what knowledge (o…
Methodology for Building Psychological Models from Scriptures
Building on the Indian Psychological literature, this article presents a methodology of how to construct models from scriptures. Four approaches to model building are proposed by presenting examples. First, models exist in the scriptures, and they need to be discovered and polished to fit with the relevant literature. Second, a content analysis of the text(s) by using keywords can lead to the development of models about constructs, such as peace,…
Humiliation and human rights in diverse societies
Cambridge Handbook of Culture, Organizations, and Work
It is now widely recognized that countries around the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and that both public and private organizations are of necessity becoming increasingly global. As political, legal, and economic barriers recede in this environment, cultural barriers emerge as a principal challenge to organizational survival and success. It is not yet clear whether these global realities will cause cultures to converge, harmonize…
Intercultural Communication in a Dynamic Environment
Intercultural training modules and programmes need to be grounded in theory, and this article presents a theoretical framework that is grounded in economy-based differences between countries, an area that has been hitherto neglected. The framework captures 10 key economy-based differences that can help orient business people to the differences beyond cultural differences in work values. This framework can be readily adopted for education and trai…

Client satisfaction with reproductive health-care quality
Culture's influence on creativity
Looking for the Silver Lining
Foreign aid plays a critical role in the increasingly interdependent global economy, but research on foreign aid project negotiation has received little attention. It is posited that the successful implementation of foreign aid projects requires managing the nego tiation process as much as technical matters like technology and international finance. Major issues related to the conflicting expectations of donors and recipients and vari ous hurdles…
Evolution of culture assimilators
The Role of Culture Theory in Cross-Cultural Training
In a multimethod evaluation of cross-cultural training tools, a theory-based individualism and collectivism assimilator (ICA), compared to a culture-specific assimilator for Japan, a culture-general assimilator for sensitizing people to cultural differences, and a control group, was found to have significant effects on a number of criterion measures, such as the Intercultural Sensitivity Inventory, the Category Width Scale, attribution making, an…
Multimethod Probes of Allocentrism and Idiocentrism
Collectivism and individualism are cultural syndromes that have some common cores. Allocentrism and idiocentrism are constructs at the individual level that correspond to collectivism and individualism respectively at the cultural level. In two studies, the first with American (from Illinois) and the second with Japanese subjects, we examined the best way to measure these common cores. We also present the recommended items in two appendices, and …
Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions of Individualism and Collectivism
In developing a new scale, this article makes theoretical and measurement distinctions between vertical and horizontal individualism and collectivism. Vertical collectivism includes perceiving the selfas a part (or an aspect) of a collective and accepting inequalities within the collective. Horizontal collectivism includes perceiving the self as a part of the collective, but seeing all members of the collective as the same; thus equality is stres…
