Abstract
Since China has been a member country of WTO, the cooperation especially in business and trade with the U.S. is on the increase sharply. In 2015, China became for the first time the largest trading partner of America.As a result,The growing trade flow between the two peoples have reached a point when they have to strengthen in an urgent way their understandings of the other work values to realize efficient business cooperation, obtain larger trade benefits and maintain a more friendly relationship of commercial partner to the most extent. However, looking back the past，despite we have made great efforts and progress in our cross-cultural communication to American people, we still do not know well about each other in the workplace where the two peoples keep different professional ethic, convention and principles, which has caused various transnational commercial barriers and even heavy damages of the two countries and their companies.
The study is composed of four parts. The first part makes a brief account of the study, including the background and significance, methods of the research, and literature review, which provides a favorable research environment. The second part puts forward theoretical framework that consists of four researchers’ achievements on work values and intercultural communication based on the analysis of literature review of the thesis above. More important is the next part, which studies Sino-American cultural differences on vocational values from some cases and cultural origins, that is, Chinese professional values are characteristic of conservative post-secularism and collectivism, while American professional values are featured in active post-materialism. The forth part makes a conclusion, generalizing the content above and giving some suggestions to practice intercultural communication in the workplace, for example, people should first know something about and respect the work values of the other people, and then learn from good points of American work values and inherit excellent traditional culture behind our own work values.
Key words：work values, Sino-American cultural differences, intercultural communication, workplace
摘要中国加入WTO以来，中美两国之间的合作日益加强，尤其是商业合作。2015年中国首次成为美国最大的贸易伙伴。因此两国人民之间日益频繁的贸易往来要求我们亟待加强对彼此职业文化价值观的了解和认识，以在最大程度上实现高效的商业合作，从而达成贸易利益及两国人民之间友好关系的共赢。回首以往，尽管我们在与美国人民之间的跨文化交流方面做出了巨大的努力和进步，但对于两国职场中交流与合作时所秉持的观念、习惯和原则，我们仍然对彼此知之甚少，由此造成了各种跨国商业往来上的壁垒，甚至给国家和企业造成了巨大的损失。
本文有四部分组成。第一部分简要介绍了研究背景，研究的必要性，研究方法和文献综述为本论文提供了良好的研究环境；第二部分提出了理论框架，主要以在职业价值观和跨文化交际的研究中做出巨大成果的四位研究者的理论为支撑点；第三部分通过例子和追寻中美两国文化起源，从职业价值观研究讨论了两国文化差异，即中国的职业价值观表现出保守的后世俗主义和集体主义，美国的职业价值观则体现为积极的后物质主义和个人主义；第四部分进行总结，简要概括全文，以及对职场中的跨文化交际做了建议，如首先要了解彼此的职业价值观，尊重彼此的职业价值观，取长补短，并继承弘扬我国优秀的职业价值观及其背后体现的文化精髓。 从职业价值观看中美文化差异:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_40865.html
