Cliques still a problem in the workplace
Print Edition
Workplace cliques exist and having the 鈥渞ight鈥 boss leads to success, according to a survey by the China Youth Daily newspaper.
It revealed that 74.2 percent of 2,018 respondents said 鈥渋nfluence spheres,鈥 or cliques existed, with 75.9 percent saying it was 鈥渨ho, not what, you know that matters鈥 in society at large.
About 47.2 percent of respondents said that attaching themselves to an influential boss was more important than practical work experience. The respondents said this situation had led to unfairness, lack of efficiency and corruption.
The newspaper said about 8.3 percent of respondents were Party or government officials, 21.5 percent were state-funded institution workers and 20.8 percent were state-owned enterprise employees.
Another 40 percent were employed by private enterprises or foreign-funded companies.
The report quoted Guo Shiyou, a professor at Tongji University, as saying that workplace cliques reflected a wider problem in politics and officialdom.
鈥淭he power of some top leaders was unlimited, and in many cases they had arbitrary power to make decisions, including those regarding official selection and promotion,鈥 Guo said.
Ai Jun, a Chinese culture researcher, said cliques had plagued officialdom for hundreds of years. However, efforts by the Party were helping to relieve the situation.
