Hofstede's cultural dimensions
theory
Geert
Hofstede developed a cultural dimensions theory as a framework for
cross-cultural communication, which shows the effects of a society's culture on
the values and behavior of the members of that society, and how these values
relate to behavior.
Hofstede
developed his original model through a worldwide survey of employee values
between 1967 and 1973. The original theory proposed four dimensions of cultural
values such as:
(1) Individualism-collectivism:
the degree to which people in a society are integrated into groups
(2) (2)
Uncertainty avoidance: a society's tolerance for ambiguity, in which people
accept or reject an event of something unexpected, unknown, or away from the
status quo.
(3) Power
distance (strength of social hierarchy): the extent to which the less powerful
members of organizations and institutions (like the family) accept and expect
that power is distributed unequally
(4) Masculinity-femininity
(task-orientation versus person-orientation): Masculinity represents a
preference in society for achievement, heroism, assertiveness, and material
rewards for success. The Feminity represents a preference for
cooperation, modesty, caring for the weak, and quality of life.
(5) Long-term
orientation vs. short-term orientation: Societies with a high degree of
long-term orientation view solving the present challenges with a long-term
vision as a necessity for development. The societies with short-term
orientation honor traditions, value commitment to the traditional way of
solving problems and resist innovative methods of solving problems.
(6) Indulgence
vs. restraint: ‘Indulgence’ refers to a society that allows relatively free
gratification of basic and natural human desires related to enjoying life and
having fun. The restraint refers to a society that controls the gratification
of needs and regulates it by means of strict social norms.
