报告内容简介（摘要）：

Work ethic, a construct of work-related values and attitudes, is believed to have direct impact on how people approach work, work behavior and on the job performance. This study examined the changes in work-related values and attitudes as the result of significant transformations that Chinese society has experienced over the extended period of economic reform. Following the notion of systematic cross-context theory borrowing with culture sensitivity, this study used the western work ethic instrument developed by Miller, Woehr, and Hudspeth (2002) and also the results of two previous qualitative studies referencing Confucian work ethic profile (i.e., Li & Madsen, 2009; 2010) to design, develop and validate a work ethic instrument that can be used in the post-reform China. Survey data was collected from a large group of multigenerational and multiregional audience in China that resulted in a usable sample of 928. Following a series of instrument validation procedures and using factor analyses, the finding suggested an eight-dimensional profile to measure Chinese workers’ work-related values and attitudes with a robust model fit. The identified eight dimensions are time, work centrality, morality, leisure, delay of gratification, hard work, group reliance, and attitude towards education.
