Value Congruence Awareness: Part 2. DNA Testing Sheds Light on Functionalism

Part 1 of this exploratory study demonstrated that for terminal, instrumental, and work values, supervisors could only accurately assess the extent to which their terminal values are congruent with their employees, whereas, employees could only accurately describe degrees of alignment with their supervisors' work values. Thus, supervisors appear to possess conscious awareness of the terminal values held by their employees and employees similarly possess conscious awareness of their supervisors' work values. Part 2 of the study examined what each of these two parties might do with their conscious knowledge concerning value congruence with the other member. Supervisor ratings and employee self-ratings concerning employee job performance, citizenship, climate fit, working relationship (LMX), and other issues, were correlated with supervisor terminal value congruence estimates and employee work value congruence estimates respectively. For supervisors, only one significant finding was noted, indicating a positive relationship between the supervisors' awareness of terminal value congruence with the employee and the supervisors' estimate of the employee's potential for future promotion. For employees, seven hypotheses received support demonstrating relationships between the employees' 0awareness of supervisor/employee work value congruence and self-ratings of work behaviours, citizenship behaviours, volunteerism behaviours, work climate behaviours, work climate attitudes, work climate organizational-wide attitudes, and the supervisor/employee working relationship. Implications for management and future research are discussed.     

跨文化翻译中的归化和异化

翻译是一种跨文化的交流活动,随着各国、各民族之间往来的日益频繁,迫切需要相互理解湘互学习.不同语言间的差异不仅表现在语音、词汇和句法等形式上,更表现在其文化特色上."归化"与"异化"是缓和源语文化和目的语文化在翻译过程中矛盾冲突的主要方法,长期以来"归化"译文出现频率往往较高,然而在当今文化全球化的时代背景下,适度增加"异化"翻译的运用对本土文化的传播和外来文化的接受不无裨益.翻译界对"归化"和"异化"的讨论很多,但这些文章更多是停留在语言研究的层面,本文将从跨文化的角度来探讨翻译中的"归化"与"异化".

论旅游线路的文化品味提升:基于非物质文化遗产的视角——以珠三角为例

通过广州、深圳、佛山、东莞和中山五城市旅游线路的调查,非物质文化遗产作为一种较高级别的旅游资源未得到旅行社的足够重视。针对国内旅游线路缺乏创新,欠缺文化内涵的现状,对旅行社的旅游线路进行改造,融入非物质文化遗产的项目,旨在通过提升线路文化品味的同时促进非物质文化遗产的传承和发展。     

Achieving value co-creation through cooperation in international joint ventures: A two-level perspective

How can international joint ventures (IJVs) enhance value co-creation? Using a resource-based view (RBV), this study examines whether partners’ cultural compatibility and parent companies’ asset complementarity foster top-level cooperation and/or operating-level cooperation in IJVs and investigates the underlying mechanisms (i.e., top-level goal alignment and operating-level goal alignment) in IJV relationships. This study also scrutinizes the differing impacts of top-level and operating-level cooperation on value co-creation in IJVs. The findings from a survey of 200 IJVs in China show that partners’ cultural compatibility positively affects top-level cooperation primarily through top-level goal alignment, while asset complementarity positively affects operating-level cooperation through operating-level goal alignment. Furthermore, operating-level cooperation has a stronger effect on value co-creation than top-level cooperation. This study offers fresh insights into IJV cooperation and value co-creation by introducing a two-level perspective and provides important managerial implications for the development of sustainable IJVs.     

文化旅游相关概念辨析

文化旅游已成为当今旅游业的一个发展趋势,游人对此趋之若鹜,专家、学者们也对文化旅游的研究多有著述。但不同的学者从不同的角度对文化旅游的概念有不同的理解与定义,这无疑不利于文化旅游的发展与研究。在分析文化与旅游、旅游文化、旅游者与文化旅游者、文化资源、文化旅游资源、文化旅游产品、文化旅游环境等相关概念的基础上,提出了自己的认识,认为文化旅游是指旅游者主要以消费文化旅游产品,体验与享受旅游活动中的文化内涵,从而获得身心愉悦的一种旅游活动。     

旅游文化学新论

中国国内的旅游文化研究已出现与旅游研究合流的趋势,旅游文化学徒有其名。旅游文化学不应是文化学视角的旅游学,而应是关于旅游文化系统及旅游文化研究的学问;旅游文化学不应混同于相关学科,它应有自己的研究对象、研究方法和研究意义;旅游文化学的研究对象也不应是旅游,而应是旅游文化系统及旅游文化研究。循此方向．旅游文化学别有天地。
