The effect of employee categorization on employee selection and promotion: the perspective of Chaxugeju

This research is mainly developed from the unique perspective of Chinese Chaxugeju (differential mode of the association) and employee categorization model, derived from Chaxugeju model on organizational behavior. This research analyses the decision model of Chinese supervisors¡¦ selection and promotion. Also, this dissertation discusses the moderating effect of decision maker¡¦s propensity (including decision maker¡¦s level, conventionality and modernity), functional propensity (including profession, confidentiality, controllable resources, privacy, number of job vacancy), and organizational propensity ( including degree of division of labor, power of recruiting, and performance orientation) on above mentioned decision models. Finally, it compares the difference of employee categorization model on the selection and promotion decision effects.
Adopting the scenario experiment, the author develops 8 kinds of interviewee/staff scenario categorized by guanxi (interpersonal relationship), loyalty and telnet. The author asks the interviewee to rank respectively the 8 kinds of interviewee/staff scenario on chance to interview, recruit, and promotion. Meanwhile, the questionnaire also records the interviewee¡¦s conventionality, modernity, company¡¦s propensity and personal background.
Total valid questionnaire is 1050 copies. Using repeated measure ANCOVA and multiple regression, the results are shown as below,
1. Overall, decision makers are certainly categorized interviewee/staff based on guanxi, loyalty and telnet. Different category of interviewee/staff would be treated differentially. Decision makers will give higher level of trustfulness/insider to closer, more loyal, and more telnet interviewee/staff. On the selection and promotion decisions, the higher level of trustfulness/insider would be given higher chance to interview, recruit and promote.
2. As for decision maker¡¦s propensity, owner-managers will value guanxi greater than mangers; same situation appears in level of trustfulness/insider. High conventionalists pay more value on royalty than low conventionalists. On the other hand, high modernists pay more value on telnet than low modernists.
3. In respects of functional propensity, when the positions have higher confidentiality, controllable resource, privacy and fewer job vacancies, decision makers tend to show greater prudence and prefer to recruit higher level of trustfulness/insider. Furthermore, when the positions possess the profession, confidentiality, controllable resources, privacy, and fewer job vacancies, decision makers would tend to value more on the interviewee/staff¡¦s telnet. For the positions with more controllable resources, decision makers will value more on the interviewee/staff¡¦s guanxi. For the position with higher privacy, decision makers will value more on loyalty. Reflecting back to the original assumption, this research does not support, a) the higher privacy of one position the higher of loyalty. b) More job vacancies enhance decision makers¡¦ value on guanxi and loyalty.
4. Regarding to organization propensity, the author originally assume less degree of division of labor causes less fairness of supervisors and accentuates the importance of guanxi and royalty. However, the result of this research does not support this assumption. When managers tend to be more performance oriented or have more power of recruiting, managers will emphasize the importance of level of trustfulness/insider. It means that managers will be more prudent on selection/promotion decisions. It is proper for organizations to rationalize and institutionalize selection/promotion decisions via district procedures. Hence, organizations could consider enhancing the level of controlling recruitment or adjust the degree of performance orientation based on actual situations.
5. Comparing the selection and promotion, decision makers will emphasize guanxi and royalty when making promotion decision than selection. As for the telnet, the research shows no difference on selection or promotion decisions.
