Value reconstruction and ideological and political integration of the Organizational Behavior course from a Sino-Western comparative perspective
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v8i1.4897
Abstract
This study conducts a comparative analysis of two seminal organizational behavior (OB) textbooks—a Marxist-oriented Chinese edition and the widely adopted Western text by Robbins and Judge—focusing on their theoretical foundations, core frameworks, key theories, and value orientations. Findings reveal that while both employ an "individual-group-organization" framework, the Chinese text emphasizes Marxist methodology and contextual adaptation, whereas the Western text prioritizes empirical logic and purported universality. Building on this analysis, the paper proposes a four-dimensional pathway for curricular value reconstruction (theory-value-practice-technology) and designs a closed-loop integration mechanism. This mechanism incorporates explicit, implicit strategies. The research aims to inform an OB education that cultivates management talent with both international perspectives and local problem-solving capabilities.
