"How did I do?" versus "How did we do?": Cultural contrasts of
performance feedback use and self-efficacy

Research study uses a laboratory experiment to study the relationship
between an individual's cultural values and performance feedback referents
to an individual's self-efficacy. The results show that, depending on
cultural values held, participants relied on different combinations of
individual- and group-based feedback. The results are discussed with
regard to a general model of self-efficacy and culture in an
organizational environment.
