Scholars seek to explain why some societies focus on the collective nature of social obligation while traditional Western psychology focuses on the primacy of the individual. In this volume, contributors address the individualism\/collectivism issue from a variety of perspectives, examining its theoretical underpinnings and current trends, the latest research on this topic, and the social and practice implications of our understanding of this dimension of human activity. A Foreword by Geert Hofstede, who conducted the original research on this topic, provides a context for the other contributions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584244392209,"sku":"GOR002459323","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50245396005137,"sku":"CIN0803957637G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803957637.jpg?v=1750786535"},{"product_id":"cultures-consequences-book-geert-hofstede-9780803913066","title":"Cultures Consequences","description":"This important book is based on a monumental study of the sales subsidiaries of a major multinational corporation which operates in 39 countries in the world. Since, in all countries, the respondents do the same work . . . and since the formal organization structure is the same everywhere, the important differences found in work attitudes and values can be ascribed to cultural differences among the countries. The author found four major dimensions for classifying cultures across the world: (i) power distance . . . (ii) uncertainty avoidance . . . (iii) individualism . . . (iv) masculinity. . . . The author also proposes some interesting theories to explain how cultures come to be as they are, which combine climate, economic development and historical process.  --The Good Book Guide for Business  \"One of the most significant comparative organizational studies to date.\"  --Industrial and Labor Relations Review  \"Important scientific books may be classified according to two types. . . . The second type includes those books which people like to have close at hand and consult for reference. There is little doubt that this book belongs to the second category.\"  --Journal of Management Studies  \"What the author has done has been to analyze questionnaire results obtained in some 40 different countries, applied to employees of a large multinational American company, and to use the results for extracting dimensions along which to compare these different cultures, and then to evaluate and discuss the resulting groupings. . . . The book is full of interesting and important findings.  . . . It should certainly be studied by anyone in the field.\"  --New Society  \"Hofstede has produced an ingenious, careful, and richly stimulating book that will certainly be useful to all those concerned with managing multinational and multicultural organizations. . . . The book offers educators a new conceptual framework and a bank of data that will be highly useful in teaching.\"  --Academy of Management Review  \"An important, sophisticated and complex monograph. . . . Both the theoretical analysis and the empirical findings constitute major contributions to cross-cultural value analysis and the cross-cultural study of work motivations and organizational dynamics. This book is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in a historical or anthropological approach to cross-cultural comparisons.\"  --Personnel Psychology  \"One cannot help admiring the effort that went into this book and ending up more knowledgeable and wiser for having read it.\"  --Contemporary Sociology  \"Should be read by every manager about to embark on an international or intercultural work assignment.  To benefit most from his ideas requires great concentration on the part of the reader, but it is worth the effort.  The manager should be able to substantially improve his (most international managers are men) effectiveness by applying his understanding of the culturally based differences in values among the firm′s employees.

With examples from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and North America, contributors emphasize that psychology has traditionally meant Western psychology. However, psychology practised in other parts of the world raises alternative views of human behaviour.    Contributors argue that indigenous psychology requires each culture to be understood within its own frame of reference and examined in terms of its own social and ecological context. They present aspects of their own indigenous psychology, demonstrating the diversity and wealth of psychological knowledge to be obtained when attention is paid to indigenous research traditions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49937411899665,"sku":"CIN0803951418A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803951418.jpg?v=1750850195"},{"product_id":"measuring-sex-stereotypes-book-john-e-williams-9780803918375","title":"Measuring Sex Stereotypes","description":"A study of gender roles in thirty countries from Peru to Malaysia, which tests the perceptions of both children and adults.

This and many other questions and the implications for individual people and whole societies are considered.
