Cultural determinants of managerial behavior

This study suggests that some attitudes considered to be characteristics of oriental societies have persisted with the second generation of oriental immigrants in Israel. Moreover, the found existence of similarities between American managers of Japanese ancestry (Kelly and Reeser, 1973), and Israeli managers of Oriental ancestry, gives support to the supposition that managers from tradition oriented societies differ from managers of modern Western societies. In order to further substantiate the generalizability of both Kelly and Reeser's study and this one, it is hoped that additional studies will be conducted in other social contexts where several subcultures coexist.
