| Abstract: | This paper investigates the effects of national culture on truthfulness with which subordinates communicate upwards under alternate play schemes. The results were consistent with the prediction that in the absence of face-to-face interactions with superiors, Chinese relative to U.S. nationals would make smaller mispresentations of their private information. Also consistent with prediction based on concern with "face", both national samples had lower levels of misrepresentations when there was face-to-face interaction between superior and subordinate. The findings support the importance of national culture and attributes of the control setting on subordinates' communication truthfulness. |
