Chinese-Ghanaian Employment Relations

The 2012 edition of Ethnic and Racial Studies contains an article by Karsten Giese and Alena Thiel titled "The Vulnerable Other--Distorted Equity in Chinese-Ghanaian Employment Relations." It analyses Chinese-Ghanaian employment relations from the perspectives of psychological contract, cross-cultural equity expectations and foreignness.  Mutually contradictory, culturally grounded expectations regarding their employment relationship are central to the understanding of conflict between Chinese employers and Ghanaian employees.
