Self-leadership and Goal Striving Across Cultures : A Comparison of United States and Chinese Undergraduate Students (9780773453975)

Following reviews of the literature on goals and on cultural differences, Georgianna (Irvine Valley College, California) describes her study of 72 university undergraduates, half from a university in New York City, half from a university in Beijing, exploring the leadership strategies people from Western/individualist and Nonwestern/collectivist cultures use during goal striving. The research examines similarities and differences in the students' self-chosen goals, factors determining the initiation of goal striving, and the strategies used by students to attain their goals. The text offers insights for scholars interested in education and cross-cultural studies, and those researching cultural differences in other goal-oriented settings such as the workplace.
