尽管不同的华人社会已经经历了工业化和城市化，但儒家美德仍然被视为中国文化的发展理想。不幸的是，虽然儒家美德在中国哲学中经常被讨论，但很少在发展研究的背景下进行审视。本文讨论了儒家的几个关键美德，包括忠、孝、仁、爱、信、义、和、平、礼、智、廉、耻。这些中国传统美德也与西方文化中强调的品格优势和积极的青少年发展观念相关。有人认为，儒家美德为理解中国文化中的品格优势和积极的青少年发展提供了一个本土的概念框架。此外，当在中国背景下考虑服务领导力时，这些美德应被视为重要的基石。
Despite the fact that different Chinese communities have already undergone industrialization and urbanization, Confucian virtues are still regarded as developmental ideals in Chinese culture. Unfortunately, while Confucian virtues are commonly discussed under Chinese philosophies, they are rarely examined in the context of developmental research. In this paper, several key Confucian virtues are discussed, including loyalty ("zhong"), filial piety ("xiao"), benevolence ("ren"), affection ("ai"), trustworthiness ("xin"), righteousness ("yi"), harmony ("he"), peace ("ping"), propriety ("li"), wisdom ("zhi"), integrity ("lian") and shame ("chi"). These Chinese traditional virtues are also linked to the concepts of character strengths and positive youth development constructs highlighted in Western culture. It is argued that Confucian virtues provide an indigenous conceptual framework to understand character strengths and positive youth development in Chinese culture. Furthermore, when service leadership is considered in Chinese contexts, these virtues should be regarded as important cornerstones.
