Discuss the impact of Chinese traditional culture on China’s domestic corporate culture

my country's traditional culture has a long history, is extensive and profound, contains many philosophical thoughts and principles, and has an extremely important impact on the construction of our country's corporate culture.

1. Chinese Traditional Culture and Corporate Culture With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, the continuous accumulation of knowledge, continuous innovation of technology, and continuous transformation of organizations have become an inexhaustible source of development for modern enterprises. Who Achieving "always half a step ahead" enables enterprises to have sufficient reserves in terms of knowledge content and technical content and continue to be ahead of the curve. Whoever has the confidence to win in the fierce competition. Any practice of an enterprise requires the guidance and support of the corresponding culture, so the ultimate development of the enterprise must return to the development of culture.

(1) Traditional Chinese Culture Some people say that if Western culture is regarded as "intellectual culture", then Chinese culture can be called "virtue culture". Chinese traditional culture is a rich historical heritage passed down from our ancestors. It not only records the history of the emergence and evolution of the Chinese nation and Chinese culture, but also serves as a way of thinking, values, codes of conduct, and customs passed down from generation to generation. It penetrates into the blood of every Chinese person and restricts the behavior of today's Chinese people. ways and ways of thinking. Corporate culture Corporate culture refers to the broad and deep culture with the enterprise as the main body. It is the unique corporate values, ethics, codes of conduct, traditional style, group consciousness and the personality of the entire enterprise's personnel formed in the enterprise's production process. Quality is an important operating resource, the intangible capital and soul of an enterprise, has great penetration and cohesion, and is the spiritual pillar for maintaining the survival and development of an enterprise. Corporate culture is the unique cultural concept gradually formed by the enterprise in the long-term operation process. It is the common understanding of the employees in the understanding and behavior of the enterprise. It runs through all the activities of the enterprise and determines the The mental outlook of all members of the enterprise and the quality, behavior and competitiveness of the entire enterprise. Corporate culture includes corporate quality, corporate image, corporate spirit, corporate style and corporate role, etc. Divided in terms of levels, the surface layer is material culture, such as corporate development speed, product and service quality, slogans, logos, employee clothing, etc.; the middle layer is institutional behavioral culture, which is mainly represented by various regulations such as company charter and employee code of conduct. System; the innermost layer is spiritual culture, that is, corporate values, corporate philosophy, etc. This is the most important and core part. (2) Chinese traditional culture and corporate culture The most fundamental issue in the construction of Chinese corporate culture is the sinicization and localization of corporate culture. In order to develop and prosper China's corporate culture, on the one hand, we must absorb the best parts of domestic and foreign corporate cultures; on the other hand, we must inherit our good traditions, innovate in the process of integration, and achieve the docking and transcendence of the two cultures." . Tradition is a long-term accumulation of history, and traditional culture is a relatively eternal thing. From an economic perspective, every era must encounter the productivity, funds and environment left to them by their predecessors. The Chinese nation has a long history. , has accumulated a rich traditional culture. Generally speaking, these cultures are developed based on the basic spirit of patriarchal hierarchy and ethical principles based on natural economy, family-centered, and blood relations. A distinct duality.

2. The influence of Chinese traditional culture on corporate culture. The Chinese nation has a long history and has accumulated rich traditional culture. Generally speaking, these cultures are based on natural economy, family-oriented, and In the broad and profound traditional Chinese culture, the life philosophy of honesty, loyalty, hard work, and self-fulfillment is based on the basic spirit of patriarchal hierarchy and ethical principles that are bound by blood relationships, and the values ??of family, collective, society, and country. Ethical concepts, traditional virtues such as the humanistic ideas of conforming to nature, thinking less and having few desires, cultivating one's moral character, and being virtuous, as well as a strong national consciousness of patriotism, a sense of ownership that is selfless and a collectivist spirit of teamwork, have a positive impact on The construction of corporate culture has had a positive and far-reaching impact.

However, some negative factors in traditional culture, such as emphasis on favors, face-saving, nepotism, jealousy of talents, passive avoidance of the world, "selfishness, greed" and the decline of traditional beliefs also have a negative impact on the construction of corporate culture. big. The influence of traditional culture on corporate culture is full of contradictions and has a distinct duality.

(1) The positive impact of Chinese traditional culture on corporate culture

1. The people-oriented thinking of "people-oriented". "People-oriented" means that people are the basis for considering everything. Enterprise managers should establish a "people-centered" cultural atmosphere in the enterprise. Its meaning includes three points: First, "the enterprise is people." An enterprise is a collection of people, so it should be people-centered, put human factors at the center, and always give priority to mobilizing people's enthusiasm. Second, "enterprises are people". The purpose of running a business is to satisfy the needs of people and society, and to improve the material and cultural life needs of employees. "Business for people" and "Business pursuit of profit maximization" are in a unified relationship of opposites. When the two conflict, the latter should be discarded. Choose the former. Third, “Enterprises rely on people.” The main body of corporate culture construction is all employees. It must rely on the wisdom and strength of all employees and implement full participation to mobilize the enthusiasm of each employee and promote the realization of the ultimate goal.

2. The national spirit of “vigor and enterprising”. As early as the ancient "Book of Changes", there is a classic expression of the spirit of vigor, positivity, and constant self-improvement. "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement." This has become an important connotation of the Chinese cultural spirit and the Chinese national spirit. The symbol encourages all employees of the company to face setbacks and misfortunes, the more they must have the courage and strength to fight, the more they must have tenacious exploration and long-lasting patience.

3. The thinking method of "harmonious cooperation". Paying attention to harmony and cooperation is a basic spirit of traditional Chinese culture. Mencius put forward the idea of ??harmony between top and bottom in the management of national affairs, and elaborated on the famous proposition that "the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people." For modern enterprises, establishing a "harmony" cultural atmosphere is of great significance to its various developments. When Deng Ronglin et al. (2006) studied the different impacts of different cultural types and organizational structures on the business performance of enterprises in the Chinese context, they assumed that employees of Chinese enterprises would be more adaptable to organizational cultures that emphasize harmonious interpersonal relationships and collective goals, thus incorporating Organizational culture with these two characteristics is the focus of research.

4. The corporate ethics of “advocating morality and valuing justice”. my country's traditional culture highly values ??the status and role of morality and morality in human life. This is what the "Book of Changes" says "the terrain is good, and the gentleman carries his wealth with great virtue". Reflected in corporate ethics are "real price", "genuine goods", "sufficient quantity" and "keeping justice". This is not only the ethical and moral concept of the enterprise, but also the code of conduct of the enterprise.

The negative impact of Chinese traditional culture on corporate culture Chang Jiankun (2006), when studying the impact of Chinese traditional culture on the innovative spirit of entrepreneurs, found that the positive impact of Chinese culture on the innovative spirit of entrepreneurs is greater than smaller than Western culture.

1. Seek stability and fear chaos, and oppose all changes and innovations. "The ways of the ancestors" cannot be violated, and the "laws of the ancestors" are immutable. This is an important tenet of our nation's traditional culture. In today's enterprises, if you keep your head down, work less, and follow the crowd, you can still get praise, live a stable life, and often be selected as "advanced" and promoted as "excellent". Those who are not satisfied with the status quo and always want to go beyond the "rules" and come up with some "new ideas" are not favored. In the national cultural psychology, "deviant" is the most intolerable thing in the world, and it often hurts the feelings and nerves of those in power and managers the most. This has resulted in a stagnant, rigid and negative corporate culture, which has become an important obstacle to innovation.

2. The value concept of emphasizing justice over profit, and adhering to the principle of "comfort in poverty and happiness in morality". Our country's traditional culture has a moral code of "advocating virtue and valuing righteousness", but it absolutely opposes righteousness and benefit, and opposes people's desire to change their living conditions and their struggle for this. Since utilitarianism and human desires are regarded as evil and should be abandoned, the cultivation of strength and the study of knowledge will inevitably be ignored.

From the perspective of social effects, the popular result of this cultural effect has resulted in intellectuals talking about their character and despising practice. They focus on searching for "natural principles" and "conscience" inwardly, while despising the exploration of the objective world from the outside, which blocks the exploration of knowledge. , ambition and energy to transform the world.

3. Emphasis on group consciousness and neglect of recognition and cultivation of human personality is not conducive to the development of individual consciousness of enterprise employees. The long-term impact of this kind of ideology makes it difficult for people to stick to their personal opinions. Entrepreneurs dare not boldly implement their own reform plans and are unwilling to show their personal strength. This is very detrimental to the development of enterprises. Some suggestions for the construction of corporate culture.

1. Cultivate the subjective consciousness of enterprise employees. The construction of corporate innovation culture advocates the active participation of all employees. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate their subject awareness, which can be summarized in the following two aspects: Participation awareness. Employees should care about the development of the company and participate in corporate management. The company should accept and give feedback to employees' suggestions in a timely and correct manner, and avoid mutual pushback between different departments. Only in this way will employees have a sense of belonging to the company and have the courage to take responsibility; and have a sense of independence. Employees can freely and quickly make decisions on certain matters within the scope of their responsibilities and be responsible for the decisions they make, combining the long-term interests of the company with the realization of personal value. The company fully respects everyone's willingness to realize their own value. In the company Under the premise of long-term development, we try our best to provide each employee with space for self-development.

2. Construction of enterprise innovation environment. The construction of enterprise innovation environment includes two aspects: hard environment construction and soft environment construction: Hard environment construction mainly refers to the construction of various material environmental conditions on which innovation work depends. Such as tools, equipment, instruments required for innovation, conditions for innovation experiments, innovation materials, information communication and management methods and means, workplace and living environment, etc.; soft environment is the innovation atmosphere within the enterprise, which mainly refers to an intangible influence on innovation. Promoting and motivating power, most people are willing to work in an environment with fun, career goals and innovative atmosphere, rather than just being satisfied with completing routine tasks.

3. Cultivation and refinement of innovative values. Enterprise group innovation should include centralized group innovation and decentralized group innovation. Group innovation culture undoubtedly requires the spirit of collectivism. Therefore, enterprises should carry forward our country's traditional culture and attach importance to collective thinking, create a group innovation culture, and enable employees to take the interests and development of the enterprise as their own responsibility, unite, collaborate, and strive to innovate.
