Hofstede’s Culture Dimensions The research conducted by Hofstede was helpful in formulating a theory about world cultures. He argued that world cultures differ along regular essential dimensions. Hofstede published the study focusing on highlighting the primary patterns of beliefs, emotions, and acting. He noted that these primary patterns developed from late childhood. Hofstede asserted that cultural distinctions exist in a culture’s options of “symbols, heroes/heroines, rituals, and values” (Mindtools). Hofstede formulated “five dimensions of culture” from the study as discussed below. Power distance reveals the extent to which a culture considers the distribution of powers in governments and organizations. It also concerns the analysis of decisions made by people holding power within the governments or organizations (Mindtools). More happiness is eminent among people in high power distance cultures with a superior status gap. Conversely, little happiness exists among people in less advanced power distance cultures. Climate, population, and wealth allocation are applicable in forecasting power distance within different societies (Mindtools). Indicatively, power distance outcomes manifest in family norms, the interaction between learners and tutors, and between youths and older persons. Language classifications and organizational processes also manifest the power distance outcomes (Mindtools). Collectivism vs. individualism illustrates the degree to which individuals depend on and express their obligation to self-identify or societal togetherness principles. The predictors for this cultural dimension include economic development and climate (Mindtools). Individualism characterizes people living in wealthy countries with cold climatic conditions. On the contrary, collective and togetherness lifestyles are eminent among people in poor nations with warmer climatic conditions (Mindtools). Femininity vs. masculinity shows the extent to which a society values certain personality attributes such as boldness, accomplishment, wealth creation, or caregiving. Hofstede argued that people who have high masculinity index (MAS) are compared to possessing male attributes such as greater achievements. Conversely, cultures with low MAS have little trust in accomplishments but more caregiving attributes and sympathy (Mindtools). Climate applies in the prediction of femininity vs. masculinity cultural dimension. He associated masculine cultures to warm climatic regions and feminine cultures to areas towards the Arctic. The cultural dimension promotes male dominance in high MAS cultures (Mindtools). Uncertainty avoidance tells the level to which people in any civilization feels exposed. This may emanate from uncertain circumstances. The attempts to evade the uncertain circumstances require the creation of more structure. The high values on the uncertainty avoidance index (UAI) shows tolerance for confusing circumstances (Mindtools). The cultures that exhibit UAI prefer to evade uncertainty and conflicts as societal value and have aspirations for harmony. These cultures favor official regulations because uncertainties increase anxiety (Luger 4). The cultures with low UAI values show greater tolerance for confusing circumstances and ambiguity. They also promote divergent views within the membership and promote risk-taking attitudes towards innovativeness. Therefore, a country that
