GONDIM, Sônia Maria Guedes et al. An intercultural study of social attributions in work relationship. Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.2, pp.381-389. ISSN 0034-9690.

This research aimed at exploring the tendency to agree with a supervisor’s actions at a workplace interaction situation. 465 college students from Salvador and Madrid participated in this study, and all of them business administration and engineering seniors. A written dialogue between a supervisor and an employee was presented, concerning the agreement or disagreement with theirs manner of acting, as well as regarding the justifications given by the participants. Quantitative analysis indicated a tendency to agree with the manner of acting of the supervisor, regardless of the culture and the professional experience. The analysis of the qualitative content revealed that the reasons given in both countries are similar and focus on trust, motivation, and mutual support and guidance.
