|a Individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, power distance and uncertainty avoidance, are dimensions of national culture identified by Hofstede (1984) based on survey results collected between 1968-1972 of 117,000 IBM employees from 57 countries. As women were largely absent from the workplace during this period, it is not surprising that women comprised only between 4% and 16% of a country’s sampling (Hofstede & Hofstede, 2004). Historically, women’s social status and economic security have been dependent on marriage, and women have occupied fewer positions of power. Yamagishi (1988) and Kollock (1994) suggested that collectivistic and individualistic behaviors are strategies, dependent upon situational circumstances, used to maximize personal outcomes. The current study administered Hofstede’s Values Survey Module 2008 questionnaire to 75 women and men residing in the United States and demonstrated distinct differences between women and men on these dimensions of national culture. Specifically, women were more collectivistic and scored higher than men on the dimensions of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity. |
