I just need the question at the bottom answered I just included the whole post for background a great post on your post “”Universalistic cultures, rely on extensive and specific contracts to document the “rules” of doing business together” and “particularistic cultures use much more loosely written agreements and rely on the strength of their personal relationships to maintain the commitment.” (Adler, 2008)” Good job!! Geert Hofstede―Dutch researcher Geert Hofstede found that there are four dimensions of culture that help explain how and why people from various cultures behave as they do. These dimensions are: a) Power Distance―The extent to which less powerful members of institutions and organizations accept that power is distributed unequally b) Uncertainty Avoidance―The extent to which people feel threatened by ambiguous situations and have created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these c) Individualism Collectivism i) Individualism is the tendency of people to look after themselves and their immediate family only ii) Collectivism is the tendency of people to belong to groups or collectives and to look after each other in exchange for loyalty d) Masculinity Femininity i) Masculinity is a culture in which the dominant values in society are success, money, and things. ii) Femininity is a culture in which the dominant values in society are caring for others and quality of life. QUESTION: IDENTIFY the major dimensions of culture relevant to work settings, and discuss their effect on behavior in an international environment |
