本研究调查了774名中国和784名美国管理者和专业人士的世代价值取向。自共产主义中国成立以来的三代中国人（巩固、文化大革命、社会改革）对变革和自我提升的态度明显更开放，但比共和时代的一代人更保守和自我超越。美国几代人（X一代、婴儿潮一代、沉默一代）的价值取向遵循与年龄相关的模式，但自我超越价值观除外。最不相似的价值取向是在中国共产党封闭政策时期成长起来的中美两代人。最近几代中国人更多的企业家价值取向似乎与中国国有部门目前正在进行的组织变革相适应。
This study investigated the generation cohort value orientations of 774 Chinese and 784 U.S. managers and professionals. The three Chinese generations (Consolidation, Cultural Revolution, Social Reform) since the establishment of Communist China were significantly more open to change and self-enhancement but less conservative and self-transcendent than the Republican Era generation. The value orientations of U.S. generations (Generation X, Baby Boomer, Silent generation) followed an age-related pattern with the exception of self-transcendence values. The least similar value orientations were between Chinese and U.S. generations that had grown up during Communist China's closed-door policy. The more entrepreneurial value orientations of the most recent Chinese generations appear to be compatible with organizational changes currently under way in China's state-owned sector.
