Impression Management, Face Value and Decision-making: Chinese And Australian Managers

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between the impression management and the ways of decisions making. The findings indicate that the image-related value of face enhancement has a general impact on managers' decision-making behaviors. Based on research in China and Australia, the research also examines cultural differences and similarities between Chinese and Australian managers and shows that there is a significant difference between them on their impression management related to enhance face in the hierarchical context.
