摘要
这是对我们的文章《与西方认识论脱钩:利用关系型关系吸引和留住中东酒店客人》(2022)的评论(Horak et al., 2023)的回应。我们感谢作者参与我们的工作,并感谢编辑给我们回复的机会。首先,我们不接受我们将中国的关系概念强加于中东背景的核心主张。关系的某些方面超越了中国,我们认为这是我们作为研究人员探索超越特定文化背景的普遍行为方面的一部分。当我们描述关系来引入变量时,我们明确区分了关系本身和关系类型关系,并在第859页提供了一个明确的声明,即我们对“关系类型关系”一词的含义,即在中东发现的人际关系网络。虽然这种区别本可以在某些地方得到更明确的强调,但我们认为这篇文章作为一个整体已经非常清楚了。
A Rejoinder to: ‘Questioning the Appropriateness of Examining Guanxi in a Wasta Environment: Why Context Should Be Front and Center in Informal Network Research – A Commentary on “De-Linking from Western Epistemologies: Using Guanxi-Type Relationships to Attract and Retain Hotel Guests in the Middle East”’
This rejoinder responds to a commentary (Horak et al., 2023) on our article ‘De-Linking from Western Epistemologies: Using Guanxi- Type Relationships to Attract and Retain Hotel Guests in the Middle East' (2022). We thank the authors for engaging with our work and are grateful to the editor for the chance to respond. Firstly, we do not accept the central assertion that we imposed the Chinese concept of guanxi on a Middle Eastern context. Some aspects of guanxi extend beyond China, and we consider it part of our role as researchers to explore universal behavioral aspects that transcend specific cultural settings. While we described guanxi to introduce the variables, we drew a clear distinction between guanxi itself and guanxi -type relationships, and provided on page 859 an explicit statement about what we meant by the term ‘ guanxi -type relationships’, i.e. the networks of interpersonal ties found in the Middle East. While this distinction could have been more clearly emphasized in places, we consider that the article as a whole made it abundantly clear.
