Although the use of a paternalistic style of management is widespread in the nonWestern \ncontext, it has only recently received attention from Western scholars. In this study, we \ncompare the presence of a paternalistic style of management and delegation practices across two \nculturally different organizational contexts, namely Chile and the US. We also examine the effects \nof these management practices on job satisfaction and organizational commitment in both \ncontexts. Results suggest that delegation of authority was more common in the US than in Chile, \nwhereas paternalism was higher in Chile than in the US. Furthermore, delegation and paternalism \nwere positively related to job satisfaction and organizational commitment in both countries. Unexpectedly, \ndelegation had a stronger effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment than \na paternalistic style of management in the Chilean context, whereas the opposite was found in the \nUS sample. Moreover, the effect of a paternalistic management style on both job satisfaction and \norganizational commitment seemed to be fully mediated by delegation in Chile. We discuss both \nthe theoretical and practical implications of these findings
