Modeling dependent effect sizes with three-level meta-analyses: a structural equation modeling approach. (2014, background): “However, some researchers argue that intra-cultural variation is also meaningful (e.g., Au, 1999; Au & Cheung, 2004).”
The expanded view of individualism and collectivism: One, two, or four dimensions? (2020, background): “…not only is a realistic one, and intuitively appealing, but research by many scholars suggested intracultural heterogeneity ( e.g. Au, 1999, 2000; Au and Cheung, 2004; Brewer and Venaik, 2012; Gurven et al., 2008; Kirkman et al., 2006; McSweeney, 2002a, 2002b, 2013; Tung, 2008), and both, inter-…”
Multivariate Meta-Analysis as Structural Equation Models (2013, background): “Au and Cheung (2004) tested a theory on how job control predicts job satisfaction at the cultural level.”
The Index of Cultural Tightness and Looseness Among 68 Countries (2015, methodology): “Au and Cheung (2004) used one item measure of SD to study intercultural variation in job autonomy while employing domain-general SD of 67 variables to control for differences in responding styles.”
Autonomy in the Workplace: An Essential Ingredient to Employee Engagement and Well-Being in Every Culture (2011, background): “…the intra-cultural variation in job autonomy was associated with positive outcomes beyond mean differences in job autonomy across the countries (Au & Cheung, 2004); although job autonomy may vary across countries, there is still significant within-culture variation, and autonomy level has the…”
Situational job characteristics and job satisfaction: The moderating role of national culture (2015, methodology): “The country-based definition of culture has long drawn criticism (e.g. Hofstede, 2002; McSweeney, 2002), but it is still commonly used in intercultural analyses (e.g. Au & Cheung, 2004; Lenartowicz & Roth, 2001; Taras et al., 2009, 2012).”
Overqualification and Subjective Well-Being at Work: The Moderating Role of Job Autonomy and Culture (2015, background): “Consistent with this idea, job autonomy predicts subjective well-being at work such as job satisfaction across many cultures, including 42 nations with distinct cultural values (Au and Cheung 2004) as well as American, Australian, and Indian samples (DeCarlo and Agarwal 1999).”
Societal-Level Versus Individual-Level Predictions of Ethical Behavior: A 48-Society Study of Collectivism and Individualism (2013, methodology): “We raise this question as a continuation of previous discussions on the appropriate level of analysis (e.g., Au and Cheung 2004; Bond et al. 2004; Lenartowicz and Roth 2001; Tung and Verbeke 2010) and the relevance of multi-level analyses (e.g., Peterson et al. 2012; Ralston et al. 2009; Tsui et…”
The Geographic Distribution of Big Five Personality Traits (2007, background): “…biases (e.g., different cultural standards by which a trait is judged), the variability about the averages would seem less vulnerable to this particular kind of distortion, though it is still vulnerable to certain response biases (Au & Cheung, 2004; Chan, Gelfand, Triandis, & Tzeng, 1996).”
