Overseas Executives’ Leadership Styles, Trust in Employees, and Identification with Local Culture - A Study of One Company / 海外派駐領導者領導風格、對員工信任態度與對當地文化認同意向之研究 - 以某公司為例

碩士 / 元智大學 / 管理碩士在職專班 / 95 / In the wake of internationalization, overseas executives are largely responsible for the survival and development of entire companies. Therefore, taking into account a company’s operating environment and determining how to demonstrate leadership that identifies with local culture and build a trust relationship with employees is critical to the success of an enterprise’s globalization.
This study explores the leadership styles of companies’ overseas executives, their trust in employees, and their identification with local corporate culture. In terms of cultural identification, executives’ psychosocial and social development and their trust in employees have been taken into account. Qualitative case studies have been conducted on the executives of factories set up in mainland China by Taiwanese firms. The following findings have been obtained after analyzing the results:
I.Overseas executives’ identification with local culture impacts their trust in employees. In
other words, the more an enterprise’s overseas executives know about local culture, the
more they trust their employees.
II.Companies’ overseas executives who refuse to accept and identify with local culture tend
to reduce their interaction with employees, which leads to worse trust relationships
between the two.
III.The more executives know, understand and respect cultural differences and treasure local
employees’ values, the more they trust employees, which brings rapid and steady growth
to the company.
IV.The experiences of Taiwanese firms in the mainland, from startup through mature
development, demonstrate that in order to nurture global competitiveness companies
must first address issues related to executives and cultural globalization.
There were not enough samples for the present study. Only the executives of an enterprise located in Dongguan were surveyed. More samples would allow for a more sensitive analysis of the relationships in question. Therefore it is suggested that subsequent studies include more types of industries and various regions or nations in the samples.
