An organisational questionnaire based on Likert's eight organisational variables was completed by samples of Filipino ( n = 51) and Hong Kong Chinese ( n = 71) bilingual managers under conditions designed to inculcate either an English response set or a Chinese or Filipino response set. Results indicated that apparently equivelant questions generated negative responses in the English response conditions and positive responses in the Filipino and Chinese response conditions. Some methodological implications for comparative management research are discussed.
