Abstract
The chapter provides a deeper understanding of the cross-cultural differences between Chinese and Western values and workplace practices caused by dissimilarities concerning cultural nonpareils known as individualist versus collectivist views. Appropriately, this chapter utilizes concepts from various disciplines to investigate the role of these cultural polars and workplace stressors that might be rooted in holding such a worldview in the work environment. Selected themes, such as self-expression, personal success versus group success, and models of workplace stress, are presented to substantiate such a claim concerning the cultural chasm. This chapter may potentially unfold new opportunities to learn more about the differences between Western and Chinese anthropology and business cultures. The insight can assist policymakers in drafting more viable policies that benefit communities globally and produce plans that benefit everyone. The finding can also help business minds excel in the global market economy.
