| 摘要 | At first glance, the Bank of China (1911-49) in Shanghai seems to have been a typical case of Western corporate paternalism imported quite naturally into China's most Westernized city. Examination of the everyday life and workplace relationships of the middle-class professional employees of this Western-style institution, however, makes clear that it differed in important ways from its Western model. Senior executives, heavily influenced by neo-Confucian notions of patriarchy, used moral injunctions to guide the conduct of junior employees, imposing discipline through living arrangements in communal compounds and a rigid scheduling of collective activity. This corporate communalism prefigured key features of the socialist work-unit system adopted by state-run industries after the revolution. The political significance of this continuity between prerevolutionary and postrevolutionary China is emphasized. |
