Taking another look at cross-cultural research: rejoinder to Lachman (1997)

Article Abstract:

Cross-cultural studies in organizational behavior should not be dismissed only for their 'bias' towards culture but should be examined more for the effects of culture on the dynamics of the workplace. Most cross-cultural studies start with the assumption that an observed phenomenon is universal and that variations in the phenomenon are attributed to cultural factors. Conflicts arising from the conclusions in such studies stem from the attribution process and the meanings read into the conclusions by other experts.

Predictors of intentions to leave the ward, the hospital and the nursing profession: a longitudinal study

Article Abstract:

Previous research has not adequately examined the various stages of withdrawal behavior in organizations. However, it has been hypothesized that withdrawal behavior, which can take the form of tardiness, absenteeism and organizational turnover, is progressive. This hypothesis has led to the formulation of a progression model of withdrawal intention. Nurses' intentions to withdraw from ward work, the hospital and their profession are examined.
