管理工作的性质是否具有普遍性，以致于管理者的活动之间存在着世界范围的相似性？我们测量的频率，管理人员参与了44项技能活动，然后测试普遍假设对两个竞争的假设，情境和收敛。虽然我们找到了一些证据来反驳普遍主义假说，但总体而言，我们发现了令人惊讶的强有力的支持，因为来自一个国家的一个阶层的管理者参与各种技能活动的相对频率反映了来自同一个国家的其他阶层的管理者的相对频率，以及来自不同文化工业化地位的国家的管理者参与相同活动的相对频率。
Is the nature of managerial work universal such that worldwide similarities exist between the activities of managers? We measure the frequency that managers are involved with forty-four skill activities, and then test the universalist hypothesis against two competing hypotheses, situational and convergence. While we find some evidence that refutes the universalist hypothesis, overall we find surprisingly strong support for it, in that the relative frequency with which managers from one stratum of one nation are involved in various skill activities reflects the relative frequency with which managers from other strata within the same nation, and from nations of different cultural-industrialized standing, are involved in the same activities.
