Mr Q is manager of a division which is undergoing a business downturn. He tries to shelter the workforce from the effects of

downsizing: taking time for consultation, organising counselling and refusing to institute compulsory redundancies.

Which one of the following cultural types identified in the Hofstede model is this manager most likely to represent?

A

Low power-distance

B

Low masculinity

C

Low uncertainty avoidance

D

High individuality

Chapter6Organisationalcultureandcommittees

Rationale: Low masculinity (or femininity) is about high regard for values such as focus on relationships and quality of

working life, and the acceptability of such values for both men and women: Mr Q's nurturing style would score on this

dimension. His approach does not really say anything about power-distance (command-and- control v delegation-and-

involvement). There are elements of uncertainty-avoidance in his attempt to minimise staff insecurity - but this would be high UA, not low UA.Pitfalls: Don't confuse the masculine/feminine dimension with straightforward gender stereotypes!
