HOFSTEDE’S CULTURAL DIMENSIONS Individualism vs. Collectivism Individualism is the
tendency of people to look after themselves and their immediate family only. Collectivism is the tendency of people to belong to groups or collectives and to look after each other in exchange for loyalty.
Power Distance The extent to which less powerful members of institutions and organizations accept that power is distributed unequally.
Uncertainty Avoidance The extent to which people feel threatened by ambiguous situations and have created beliefs and institutions that try to avoid these.
Masculinity vs. Femininity A culture in which the dominant values in society are success, money, and things scores high on masculinity. A culture in which the dominant values in society are caring for others and quality of life scores high on femininity.
