Question 4

Compare and contrast individualistic, collectivist, masculine, and feminine cultures according to Hofstede's model of National Cultural Dimensions.

Accepted Answer

Individualism/collectivism refers to the degree to which a person sees himself or herself as an individual or a member of a group. Individualistic cultures value personal achievement and privacy, and prioritize autonomy over group obligations. Active expression is associated with personal creativity. An individualistic culture is more closely related to a masculine culture with more competitive and goal-driven societies. Masculine culture workplaces feature tension in conflict in association with competition, and the acquisition of power, success, and fortune are stressed. Developed countries in North America and Europe usually have strong individualistic values and have high scores as masculine cultures.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, people in collectivistic cultures recognize that they are part of an organization, family, or group, and active expression is a process of exchanging feelings with others. This is similar to feminine cultures where higher value is placed on quality of life and relationships with work colleagues. Feminine cultures are more caring and considerate and emphasize equality between men and women. Instead of tense workplaces, a feminine culture workplace encourages harmonious interactions between coworkers and emphasizes stable employment, where an individual career is less important. Most Asian, African, and Latin American countries are considered collectivist societies and Nordic countries are more feminine cultures.
