Border crossing: work-life balance issues with Chinese entrepreneurs in New Zealand

Chan, Camellia January 2008 (has links)
Work-life balance is a dominant discourse in contemporary Western society. It has been built on a language of large organizations, hence has not been widely considered in relation to the small-medium enterprise sector. As a consequence, scant research has been conducted on the experiences of immigrant entrepreneurs and work-life balance within the small-medium enterprise sector in New Zealand, a country largely populated with migrants and small businesses which account for 96 per cent of the total enterprises. This study aims to fill this gap by firstly exploring the interpretations of the concept of work-life balance by Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs and, secondly, the main challenges they face in achieving work-life balance. This is done by drawing on literatures including those on work-life balance, small-medium enterprises, and immigrant entrepreneurship theories. Primary research was conducted using a critical interpretive approach where the researcher is an insider to the study. This philosophical and methodological approach makes it possible to give a minority group a voice to effect social change and gain further research attention. Fifteen Chinese business owners, chosen from a variety of industries within the Auckland region, participated in this study. A qualitative methodological technique and semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data for the case study on these entrepreneurs. The results indicate that the majority do not enjoy a sense of work-life balance because they take on filial obligations important for their own culture. They need to work hard to generate financial profit for the benefit of family. About half of them work more than 60 hours per week and three works longer than 70 hours weekly. The motivation for them to work in this way is to provide their family with desirable housing and to enable their children to meet higher education goals. This study challenges the applicability of the work-life balance discourse among the immigrant entrepreneurs who perceive the concept differently based on their cultural values. The results emphasise the need for business case studies from Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs and research attention on contemporary human resource topics to be given to minority groups.

One of the characteristics in the property is highly counting on people to deliver service, and agents play significant roles during service delivery. Therefore, it merits a better attention to probe into the relationships between the organizational commitment, the professional commitment, the organizational citizenship behavior, and the job involvement in cross selling of agents¡¦.

Throughout interviewing the staffs of the three by 500 questionnaires offered and 351 valid ones collected, the datum of the research is made by reliability analysis, descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, independent sample t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis to verify the identity degrees of the interviewees on the organizational commitment, the professional commitment, the organizational citizenship behavior, and the job involvement in cross selling. Following are the major findings: 1.Each one of the organizational commitment, the professional commitment, and the organizational citizenship behavior are statistically significant and positive correlated to the job involvement in cross selling. Among them, the organizational citizenship behavior is with the strongest influence on the job involvement in cross selling, then the organizational commitment second, and the professional commitment last. 2.Among the sub-dimensions, the organizational identity in the organizational commitment explains most the variations of the job involvement in cross selling and then the retention on the job. Also, the professional identity in the professional commitment explains most the one and then the retention on the occupation. And, the involvement in the organizational citizenship behavior explains the most the one and then the loyalty. It means that the organizational identity, the professional identity, the involvement and the loyalty of the agents are with significant effects on their involvement in cross selling. 3.The variations in the identity degrees of the organizational commitment and the professional commitment of the agents in the three FHCs are significantly different, however, the ones of the organizational citizenship behavior and the involvement in cross selling are no significant. From the findings of the research, the organizational commitment and the organizational citizenship behavior are proven the most impacts on the involvement in cross selling. Consequently, FHCs should pay more attentions especially to enhance the organizational identity of agents all the time except for advancing their knowledge and ability in cross selling when they want to raise the wills of agents on the job involvement in cross selling. For example, they can disclose the expectation and the requirement of the organization to agents to make them fully understand, follow, and moreover increase their confidence. Besides, building incentive performance assessment and rewarding system is more important than else in stimulating agents to have strong involvement in cross selling.

Therefore, in this study, we will try to compare two groups of people (participant and non-participant) to differentiate the differences in PSS (perceived supervisor support) , POS ( perceived organizational support) and OCBs ( organizational citizenship behavior ). Besides, we will also exanimate the composition of Employees' Welfare Committee to see if the people who have participated in Employees' Welfare Committee will trigger higher POS or PSS, and with a higher PSS or POS. Employees will be more motivated in their job performance and will work beyond the responsibilities given . This survey shows that the differences in PSS and POS between the two groups are not significant, however, the participated group in one dimension of OCBs ¢w Organizational Identification is significant. The further analysis shows that the number of members, the way of election, the welfares offered by the committee will have positive relationships with PSS and POS by assigning the HR to the committee. What¡¦s more, if the organizations can make good use of these components to let their employees perceive and understand how their organizations or supervisors put efforts on them when they participate in the Welfare Committee.
