Abstract
In this paper, ethno-business refers to the relationships between culture and business and its influence on individual performance. The paper aims to discover how Indonesians of Chinese origin compared to Indonesians of local origins interprete work and how such interpretations affect their businesses or job performances. Analysis is conducted based on two points, namely: first, how Indonesian-Chinese construct the meaning of work and its effect on job performance; and second, how cultural backgrounds have influenced business or job performances among the two groups. The data were taken from selected businesses in a few purposively selected cities across Indonesia. The data were compiled using the general linear model and 400 entreprenuers were analyzed. It has been found thatthere is a significant difference betweenthe two groups in regard to work meaning and business or job performances.
