Participants and procedures
The Credibility Retail Enterprise is one of the largest and
fastest-growing retail companies in China. It has been fre-
quently cited in economic and development research as a
typical example of a contemporary Chinese retail enterprise
development. The company was established in 1984 with only
30 employees in one city. It has expanded to 13 companies in
13 cities across He Bei and Shan Dong provinces with over
20,000 employees. The Credibility Retail Enterprise is a com-
prehensive retail outlet, selling a range of products including
basic commodities and China national branded goods. The
company was chosen for the current study because of man-
agement’s concerns regarding employees’ mental health
problems. This led to the company contacting Peking Uni-
versity to provide solutions to these health problems.
