More did you say?
If this data is analysed prima facie using Hofstedes principles (as outlined above), then the following inferences can be made: the Chinese managers believe that power is unequally distributed in their culture, whereas US employees believe in a high level of equality; the Americans are very individualistic and task-orientated, whereas the Chinese are collectivistic and group-orientated; US employees are more masculine and assertive, whereas Chinese show no bias to either gender role; Chinese managers feel relatively more threatened when facing uncertainty than American employees, but neither groups rank can be regarded overly anxious by world standards; American undergraduates are focussed on the short-term, whereas Chinese undergraduates the long-term. But none of the preceding generalisations are of much significance unless they are put into a real world context.
Discussion of Differences in Value Indices
Why are there significant differences between the two cultures? If the data gathered is reliable, then perhaps the difference can be attributed to the development of Chinese culture and American culture. To understand this underlying development of culture, knowledge of each cultures history and influences is necessary.
Most academics credit the main influence of Chinese thought to Confucius, whose Five Cardinal Relations (Wu Lun) prescribe the power relationships between five pairs of individuals (Gabrenya and Hwang 1996): emperor and minister, father and son, husband and wife, between brothers and between friends. In all these relationships, the junior owes respect and obedience, whereas the senior owes protection and consideration (Hofstede 1991, p.165). The obligations of these power relationships mean that there is a significant power distance between the partners; in the duty of obedience, the subordinate is usually not consulted in the decision-making process. Influence by Confucian thought can account for the high PDI of the Chinese.
