Abstract

This study explores the similarities and differences among Argentinean and Colombian employees regarding their perceptions of effective and ineffective managerial and leadership behavior by conducting a qualitative multiple cross-case and cross nation comparative analysis of findings from two previous emic replication studies. The findings of this study suggest more similarities than differences in the perceptions of Argentinean and Colombian workers about effective/ineffective managerial and leadership behaviors and highlight important nuances. Although there are cultural differences among Argentineans and Colombians, the findings of this study suggest that culture may not play a substantial role in the perception of managerial behavioral effectiveness. These findings are relevant to human resource professionals training executives for assignments in Argentina and Colombia. Designing training programs that help managers understand what are perceived as effective/ineffective managerial behaviors by Argentineans and Colombians can improve the effectiveness of Argentinean managers working in Colombia and Colombian managers working in Argentina.

Chinese Abstract

阿根廷与哥伦比亚员工对管理者行为有效性认知的比较研究

本研究通过对两项先前的本土化复制研究结果，进行定性多案例比较分析和跨国比较分析，探讨了阿根廷与哥伦比亚员工在有效与无效管理及领导行为认知方面的异同。研究结果表明，阿根廷和哥伦比亚员工对有效/无效管理及领导行为的认知上存在更多的相似性，而非差异性，同时也展现了一些重要的细微差别。尽管阿根廷人和哥伦比亚人之间存在文化差异，但研究结果表明，文化可能在管理行为有效性的认知上并未发挥显著的作用。这些发现对于培训派驻阿根廷和哥伦比亚的管理人员的人力资源专业人士具有重要意义。設計培训项目可帮助管理者了解阿根廷人和哥伦比亚人对有效/无效管理的行为认知，可以提升阿根廷管理者在哥伦比亚的工作成效，以及哥伦比亚管理者在阿根廷的工作成效。
