Comparison of Hong Kong and Australian samples
A comparison of factor scores, derived from the above factor analyses, between
the Australian and Hong Kong samples was done using a series of t-tests. The
results of these analyses are shown in Table II.
Statistically significant differences (all at the 0.01 level) between the two
samples were found for four of the seven factor scores. The Australian sample
scored significantly more highly on the two organisational culture factors,
which reflect more innovative and supportive organisational cultures. The
Australian sample also scored significantly more highly on job satisfaction and
commitment. No statistically significant difference was found for the
Bureaucratic culture factor. For both of the leadership style factors,
consideration and initiating structure, no statistically significant differences
between the samples were found.
