摘要

The relationship between perceived participative decision making and employee performance was examined in matched samples of employees-from the Hong Kong and U.S. branches of one organization. Self-efficacy in regard to participating in decisions and idiocentrism, moderated the relationship between perceived participative decision-making opportunity and individual performance. Perceptions of the participation efficacy of a work unit and allocentrism moderated the relationship between participative decision-making opportunity and group performance. Idiocentrism and allocentrism appeared to explain regional differences in how participative decision making and efficacy perceptions interacted to predict performance.
