Culture iceberg, most aspects of a culture are not visible.

Hofstede: dimensions of culture

- Low power distance: narrow salary range, minimalization of inequalities.
- High power distance: wide salary range, employee expects to be told what to do.
Uncertainty avoidance = The degree of anxiety you feel in uncertain or unknown situations.
- Weak uncertainty avoidance: motivation by achievement, emotions must not be shown.
- Strong uncertainty avoidance: motivation by security, emotions may be shown at proper
times.
Individualism = In how far do you look after yourself and your immediate family first?
- Low individualism: relationship prevails over task, think in terms of ‘we’.
- High individualism: task prevails over relationship, think in terms of ‘I’.
Masculinity = Do you value traditional male roles or female roles?
- Low masculinity: values caring for others, resolution of conflicts by negotiation.
- High masculinity: values material success and progress, resolution of conflicts by fighting
them out.
