Abstract/Index
A comparative situation: western baselines. The Chinese specificity: structure, culture, and political centrality, literature review. The foundations of organizational learning. The genesis and architecture of organizational defensive routines. The multidimensional construct of ODRs and Western Baselines. The Chinese macro-cultural background: common macro-culture and macro-institutional isomorphism. The sociological anchors of defensiveness: Mianzi, Guanxi and Confucian dynamism. Strategic ambiguity: redefining "pretence" as rational communication. Blame avoidance and the accountability paradox. Paternalistic leadership, power distance and organizational silence. The dichotomy of safety: psychological versus political. Methodology. Research context and sample selection. Measures and instrument development. Analytical strategy and item purification. Results and discussion. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA): uncovering the latent structure. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and measurement model fit evaluation. Convergent validity verification. The testing of three hypothesis. Discussion. In-depth theoretical synthesis and discussion. The supreme saliency of "face" and the structural extinction of "embarrassment avoidance". The implementation mechanism of strategic ambiguity: the structural fusion of "cover-up" and "pretence". The embeddedness of "embarrassment avoidance". Institutional isomorphism: the cross-sector universality of systemic defensiveness. The fusion of "cover-up" and "pretence". The structural failure of "embarrassment avoidance". Defensive society and macro-isomorphism.
