Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory is a framework developed by Geert Hofstede which explains the effects of a society's culture on the values of its members, and how these values relate to behavior. There are six main dimensions of national culture:
- Power distance index (PDI)
- Individualism vs. collectivism (IDV)
- Uncertainty avoidance (UAI)
- Masculinity vs. femininity (MAS)
- Long-term orientation vs. short-term orientation (LTO)
- Indulgence vs. restraint (IND)
Answer: A long or short term view of work, life and other elements of society is better addressed by the long-term orientation vs. short-term orientation (LTO) dimension.
