The Influence of Culture on Employee Motivation and Performance

The Influence of Culture on Employee Motivation and Performance

I am interested in how culture influences (employee) motivation and performance.
Colleagues, can you help me out to appreciate what cultural traits (religion, formal and informal socialisation practices, how people eek out their living, kinship and marriage and authority patterns) in the past and now help America, Europe and especially Asia to be effective and productive as they are. Thanks!

	International Motivation It's a topic covered in most textbooks on cross-cultural management, of which there are many. You might look at Luthans & Doh.
