Document Summary

Concepts or beliefs or convictions that guide how we make decisions about and evaluations of behaviors and events. Power distance is a national culture attribute that describes the extent to which a society accepts that power in institutions and organizations is distributed unequally. A high rating on power distance means that large inequalities of power and wealth exist and are tolerated in the culture. Cultures low on uncertainty avoidance are more accepting of ambiguity and are less rule-oriented, take more risks, and more readily accept change. Baby boomers (born mid-1940s to mid 1960s) Achievement and material success are very important. Sense of accomplishment and social recognition rank high with them. Pragmatist who believe ends can justify the means. Generation x (born mid-1960s to late 1970s) Value flexibility, life options and achievement of job satisfaction. Less willing to make personal sacrifices for the sake of their employer than boomers. High expectations; seek meaning in their work.
