Abstract

The recent Asian upheaval revealed the macroeconomic risks and damages associated with political cronyism, a type of favoritism shown to associates without regard to their merit/qualifications. Cronyism is a very prevalent phenomenon in societies and organizations with certain cultural values such as paternalism, collectivism, and Confucianism. Despite it being cited as a major factor for Asian economic crisis and mismanagement of the Asian organizations, it is a concept that has not received due attention from management scholars. In order to better our understanding of cronyism in work organizations, we present a two-stage model, grounded in the Chinese/Asian cultural context, of the antecedents to cronyism, and present a number of propositions that follow from it.
