Abstract

This article addresses a weakness in culture-based organization research by exploring the effects of ethnic group culture on managerial behavior. Using a sample of Philippine commercial bank branch managers, the study found significant differences between ethnic Chinese and ethnic Filipino managers in their use of personal judgment when performing certain marketing tasks. Implications of these findings on managers and organizations are discussed.
