In the early 1980s, Hofstede's framework included only 4 cultural dimensions. It later came to include two additional dimensions: Time Orientation and Indulgence. This presentation describes how Time Orientation came to be added to the framework. Initially, Time Orientation was known as "Confucian Work Dynamism". Time Orientation emerged thanks to Prof. Geert Hofstede's collaboration with Prof. Michael Harris Bond.

Hofstedeâs Framework
⢠The framework allows professionals to
compare cultures along six dimensions
⢠Each dimension is conceived of as a
continuum
⢠At the end pole of each continuum is a
cultural orientation
ďSince there are six dimensions, there are
twelve cultural orientations

Hofstedeâs Framework Evolved
Over Time
⢠Geert Hofstede developed his
framework over several decades of
research
⢠The framework began with research on
employees of IBM in 40 countries
⢠By1980, Hofstedeâs framework had four
dimensions

Individualism vs. Collectivism
Individualism*
1. Emotional gender roles: different or same?

The Framework is Based on
Measurements
⢠The framework compares the culture of
different countries along six dimensions
⢠The dimension-specific country scores
are normed on a scale of 1 to 100

Collaboration with Michael Harris Bond
⢠December 1980: at a cross-cultural
psychology conference in India, Prof.
Hofstede was a discussant for a paper
by Michael Harris Bond
⢠Bond and colleagues had replicated an
American survey, the Rokeach Value
Survey (RVS), among students from 10
countries around the Pacific

Collaboration with Michael Harris Bond
⢠Hofstedeâs comment was that Bond et
al. took average values of countries to
compare individuals: this was a âreverse
ecological fallacyâ
⢠Bond accepted Hofstedeâs critique and
reanalyzed his RVS data at the country
(âecologicalâ) level
⢠He found 4 country-level dimensions,
with correlations to the dimensions in
Hofstedeâs framework

The Chinese Perspective
⢠Both the IBM and the RVS survey
questions had been selected and
formulated by Western minds
⢠Bond and Hofstede wondered to what
extent their similar results could be
caused by their shared Western
culture rather than reflect the cultures
of the respondents
⢠Bond decided to test this by having a
questionnaire designed by his Chinese
colleagues

The Chinese Value Survey (CVS)
⢠The Chinese Value Survey (CVS) was
administered to students in 23 countries
worldwide
⢠The CVS results were published by
âThe Chinese Culture Connection,â
Bond & 23 co-authors, in 1987

The Chinese Value Survey (CVS)
⢠Analysis of the CVS results produced 4
country-level dimensions. Three of these
correlated with Power Distance,
Individualism and Achievement*
⢠No CVS dimension correlated with the
Certainty* Dimension. Questions related
to Certainty have not been included by
the Chinese designers of the CVS

The Chinese Value Survey (CVS)
⢠The CVS produced a new dimension
mainly composed of Chinese values
which the Western designers of the IBM
surveys had overlooked

The Chinese Value Survey (CVS)
Yielded the Time Dimension
⢠Bond initially called this new dimension
âConfucian Work Dynamismâ
â Hofstede called it âLong vs. Short Term
Orientationâ (LTO/STO)
â ITAPâs terminology: âTime Orientationâ
⢠In 1988 Bond and Hofstede published
their 2nd joint article and Hofstede
added LTO/STO to his model as a 5th
dimension

Researchersâ Minds and Respondentsâ
Minds
⢠A common misunderstanding is that
because the CVS did not identify Certainty
as a dimension, this dimension is not
relevant in Asia
⢠But Certainty is very relevant in Asia: for
example, it is the key culture factor
distinguishing Japan from China
⢠The reason Certainty was not included
because the Chinese designers of the
CVS did not perceive it as relevant

15
Researchersâ Minds and Respondentsâ
Minds
⢠Time Orientation is not only relevant in
Asia but very important worldwide
⢠The reason Time Orientation did not
emerge earlier lies with the Western
designers of the IBM and RVS surveys:
They were not aware of the importance
of Time Orientation

The Framework Over Time
⢠Today the framework has six
dimensions:
- Time Orientation was the fifth
dimension that he added
- Most recently he added a sixth
dimension: Indulgence
⢠Hofstedeâs framework has dimension-
specific scores for 76 countries

The Framework Captures a
⢠So far, there are six major replications
of the framework (with elites, working
professionals, airline pilots, consumers,
civil servants)
⢠The country scores are normed relative
to each other
⢠As cultures slowly shift, they shift
together, and the scores remain stable
relative to each other

Individual Report
Š2017 ITAP International, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
INDIVIDUALISM - the degree to which action is taken for the benefit of the individual,
or benefit of the group
This dimension represents the relationship between the individual and the group in a given society.
ďˇ An individualistic society is a culture of the "selfâ where individuals are expected to take care of themselves
and ties between individuals are loose. In business in individualistic cultures, employees are expected to
take responsibility for their work and their career development. A group (or collectivist) society gives
preference to belonging to the "we," where individuals are loyal and contribute to the wealth of their
family, clan, or organization in exchange for reciprocal group support. In group cultures, the organization,
supervisor and colleagues are more likely to provide support and foster interdependence.
Individualism:
The higher your
score, the higher
your preference
for Individual
Orientation. A
score of 50 or
lower means
more of a
preference for
Group
Orientation.
Interpreting your results
[NOTE: THIS IS A SAMPLE EXPERT PARAGRAPH BASED ON THIS PERSON'S ANSWERS.]
Your score is in the middle to high range of the Individualism dimension and indicates a moderate preference for
individual orientation. Employees with a preference for individual orientation will pursue their employer's interests
to the extent that these coincide with their self-interest. Freedom to adopt your own approach and having
challenging work are important in a job. Individuals expect direct feedback, as well as rewards and recognition
based on their individual performance. Speaking one's mind, honesty and openness are valued. Decisions can
often be made quickly by an individual who has the authority to speak on behalf of a larger group.
Both your score and the score for USA indicate a preference for an individual-oriented environment that supports
and encourages individual expression. In countries with a more pronounced individual orientation such as USA,
you may find the need to appeal more to self-interest than to the group interest, to a degree beyond your normal
style. You can also expect that you may need to take even more individual responsibility for your job performance
than you may be used to.
Your score shows the least difference with the score for India. Your approach is therefore likely to be consistent
with the approach in India.
