Workshop’s Topic: While the construct of Moqi (默契, pronounced mò-chee’) is ubiquitously understood and finds itself in everyday conversations around the home and workplace in China, the theoretical development of Mogi has been scarce. In this research, we define Mogi as a dyadic level construct that describes a situated state of shared contextualized understanding without saying a word between two counterparties. We propose a nomological network of Mogi and discuss several potential consequences in organizational settings. Finally, we attempt to develop a scale measuring Mogi that may predict workplace interpersonal dynamics that is meaningful beyond the Chinese cultural context.
