Power distanceThe degree in which the less powerful members of groups accept that power is distributed
unequally.
Low power distance
- People are treated equally
- Opinions are valued
- Don’t have to ask permission / You are allowed to take initiative.
- Employees are consulted when making decisions
High power distance
- People accept that superiors (parents, teachers, bosses, older people) have more power
- Not allowed to argue
- Only give opinion in a very respectful and sometimes indirect way
- Will only do things when given instructions
- Takes no initiative, bosses are hard to approach
- Autocratic leadership
Individualism vs Collectivism
Individualism
- Mainly responsible for yourself, and for your direct, nuclear family.
- Direct family like parents are close, others like grandparents live at a distance.
- Highly independent!!
- Being able to do things on your own is of high importance
- Prefer direct, honest, open and low context communication
- Learn from criticism
- Speaking your mind, honest and open
- Individual performance, privacy and originality
- Giving family special treatment is seen as nepotism
Collectivism
- Grow up in large families
- Are a responsible member of the group
- Taking care of the group members is of high importance
- Keeping harmony with the group members is important
- Confronting and criticizing is seen as downright rude
- People say ‘no’ in a subtle way to not make anyone lose face (blurring)
- Prefer high context communication
- Interdependence, sharing, supporting group.
- Prefer to hire people with inside relations because this causes less risk (due to loyalty)
- Long working days, lot of chitchat
- As a boss it is necessary to manage and reward collectively, personal trust is important
and build relationships instead of agreements.
