| Title |
Anglophone and Francophone Managers: Perceptions of Cultural Differences in Approaches to Work
|
| Abstract |
The authors examine the extent to which 600 Anglophone and 188 Francophone managers in a large corporation based in Quebec and Ontario believed that members of the two groups differed in their approach to and execution of their work in the 1980s. Francophone managers tended to perceive differences, whereas Anglophones showed a slight tendency to perceive similarities. Consistent with previous research, the authors argue that the Francophone managers who perceived differences expressed favorable attitudes toward the differentiating characteristics of their own group and those of Anglophones. In contrast, Anglophone managers who perceived differences evidenced a degree of ethnocentrism, viewing characteristics of their own group favorably and relatively downgrading those of Francophones. The ethnocentrism on the part of Anglophone managers was interpreted as reflecting a predictable response to what they perceive to be threatening changes in intergroup relations in Quebec.
