이 연구는 우리나라 협상자들이 가지는 인구학적 특성과 문화 가치가 비윤리적 협상 전략에 대한 평가와 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 연구한 것이다. 협상자의 문화 가치에 따라 전통적 경쟁협상, 상대 네트워크 공격, 거짓약속, 허위정보 전달 및 비윤리적 정보 수집의 다섯 가지 비윤리적 전략에 대한 평가와 사용의도에 차이가 나타나는지 살펴보았다. 특히 협상자의 문화 가치를 측정함에 있어 보편적(etic) 문화 가치로 인정되는 홉스테드(Hofstede) 문화변수와 우리나라 고유의 문화 변수인 '체면'을 함께 고려하여 문화 변수들 간의 상대적 설명력을 비교하였다. 연구결과, 인구학적 특성과 문화 가치는 모두 비윤리적 협상 전략에 대한 평가에 영향을 주고 있었다. 인구학적 특성의 경우, 연령과 경력은 유의미한 결과를 나타냈으나 성별과 협상 스타일은 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 문화 변수의 경우, 체면 변수의 설명력이 홉스테드의 문화변수보다 높게 나타나는 경향을 보여, 비윤리적 협상 전략에 대한 우리나라 협상자들의 인식과 태도에 체면이 중요한 영향을 미치고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 문화 현상에 대한 에믹(emic) 접근과 에틱(etic) 접근의 유용성에 대해 논의하였다.

This paper proposes the presence and importance of cultural differences to address user engagement in worldwide social media platforms. Based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions, this paper addresses their new meanings in the context of user engagement in social media. Our propositions address two research questions: (1) how do cultural dimensions, displayed on social media platforms, differ across national cultures?; (2) what different preferences the social media platforms have in terms of which cultural dimensions promote or suppress user engagement? User engagement in social media platforms is explained by the cultural differences in terms of the four cultural dimensions: individualism vs. collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and masculinity vs. femininity. Implications are also discussed for research and practice.

We suggest that cultural differences among nations should have a significant impact upon the exports of Korean broadcasting contents due to the fact that production and consumption of the contents are influenced by their own cultural aspects. Based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions frequently cited in the literature, we perform empirical analysis to identify the impact of cultural dimensions upon the export amounts by investigating four-year export data of Korean broadcasting industry. In our research model, Hofstede's cultural dimensions and GDP per capita are independent variables and a genre of broadcasting contents is used as a moderating variable. We find in our analysis that three cultural dimensions such as individualism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity significantly affect the export amount but do not find the impact of power distance.

The current study aims to examine the effect of Hofstede's dimensions of culture on the intention of sharing knowledge in higher education institutions (HEIs) in Jordan. In the literature, researchers have given limited attention to such an effect. Therefore, by adopting Hofstede's framework, the current study attempts to investigate how Jordan's cultural context impacts on the intentions to share knowledge in HEIs. This study applied quantitative research methods to investigate the effect of Hofstede's cultural dimensions on knowledge-sharing intentions. In total, 307 questionnaires were collected from employees in Jordanian universities and, then, tested using descriptive and regression analytical methods. The study results show that culture dimensions influence knowledge-sharing intention and that each dimension plays a different role in enhancing this knowledge-sharing intention. More specifically, it was found that long-term orientation, collectivism and high uncertainty avoidance had a positive effect on knowledge-sharing intention, while cultural masculinity and power distance had no negative effect. Based on these results, the study makes several recommendations, the most important of which is the promotion of cultural values that encourage intention to share knowledge. Also, more qualitative research is needed to explore in depth the effective means that encourage intentions to share different types of knowledge.

China has emerged as the world's factory since the economic reform in 1987, and the Chinese economy has been growing at a rapid pace. Now, China is considered as one of the biggest markets in the world. Thus, many Korean IT service companies including open market operators have interests in expanding their business into China. However, to be successful in Chinese online shopping market, Korean open market operators should check the cultural differences between the online shoppers in Korea and China at first, Under this background, this study proposes the factors affecting user satisfaction in open market services based on the revised Delone and McLean model. Then, it investigates the differences in the effects of these factors across Korea and China. For empirical analysis, we collected the survey data from open market users in both countries, and applied multiple regression analysis to the data. As a result, we found significant differences between Korean and Chinese open market users. Also, we found that most of these differences could be explained using Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions theory. The findings of this paper imply that Korean and Chinese users may respond differently to IT services, though Korea and China are geographically close and share a similar cultural background.

이 논문은 최근 아시아, 특히 중국에서 한국영화를 빈번히 리메이크하는 현상에 주목해 한국 원작영화와 중국 리메이크영화의 텍스트 분석과 비교를 통해 각각의 영화 속에서 두 나라의 문화차원들을 추출하여 비교 분석한 연구이다. 특히 이 논문에서는 한국의 스릴러 영화인 <블라인드>와 중국에서 리메이크한 작품 <나는 증인이다>의 서사구를 분석하고, 그 동안 비교문화연구에서 활용되어 온 네덜란드의 조직심리학자 홉스테드(Greet Hofstede)의 문화차원 연구를 바탕으로, 두 영화 안에 함축된 문화차원을 비교했다.

Hofstede cultural value model is one of the most influential model for cross-cultural studies to measure national difference. In this study, we examine that Hofstede Cultural Dimensions can be measured by World Value Surveys. Selected WVS questions for 31 measurable countries after Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA), approved valid through empirical analysis. It is applicable that Individualism values(IND) has related to 2 questionnaires including life satisfaction, Power Distance values(PDI) to 2 questionnaires about political action(Signing a petition and Joining in boycotts), Masculinity values(MAS) to 2 sexual-role questionnaires like "University is more important for a boy than for a girl", Uncertainty Avoidance values (UAI) to 3 questionnaires about confidence(Parliament, The Political parties and Justice System), Long-Term Oriented values(LTO) to 4 questionnaires including "How proud of nationality" and Indulgence versus Restraints values (IVR)to 2 questionnaires including Feeling of Happiness.

빠르게 일어나는 기술의 발전과 그 안에 내재된 문화적 현상을 결합하려는 시도를 문화 컴퓨팅, 문화 모델링이라 한다. 본 논문에서는 문화 모델링 연구 추세를 기반으로 문화 사용자 인터페이스 디자인, 특히 그 중에서도 콘텐츠를 중심으로 한 문화 기반 디자인 구조를 설명한다. 문화에 기반한 콘텐츠를 디자인하기 위해서는 콘텐츠의 문화적 특성을 도출하는 구조가 필요하다. 이를 위해 Hofstede의 문화 차원 모델과 콘텐츠 데이터를 결합하여, 콘텐츠 중심의 문화 차원 지수(CiCo) 구조를 새롭게 제안한다. 또한 도출한 CiCo와 국가별 콘텐츠 선호 패턴을 결합하여 국가별 콘텐츠 문화 차원 지수인 NiCC를 도출한다. 제안하는 CiCo와 NiCC는 기존의 Hofstede 모델에 기반하였으되, 기존 모델 대비 약 10% 개선된 설명력을 갖는다.

This study uses a macro-viewpoint to investigate how female world leaders' clothing behaviors are different by nation and culture. This study conducted a comparative study on clothing behavior by cultural block in order to understand similarities and differences based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. The findings are as follows. First, the clothing styles of female world leaders are categorized into classical suit style, national traditional style, and eclectic style. Second, classic suit style is more often found in countries characterized by high individualism, low power distance index, and low avoidance index. The style represents individual activity and rationality as well as trust towards women acting in men's roles. Third, a national traditional style is found in countries featuring high collectivism, high power distance index, and high uncertainty avoidance index. These countries share a culture that emphasizes harmony with the whole, rather than any one given part; consequently, clothing style represents a national identity (or the roles as a national member) rather than that of the individual level. Fourth, an eclectic clothing style is expressed in a mixture of classical suits and a national traditional style that depends on how much Eastern and Western cultures are reasonably compromised or Eastern tradition and Western culture coexist.

Our work empirically investigates the cultural differences of Social Networking Service (SNS) users in China, Korea and U.S. We construct a survey questionnaire from existing literature and test it for reliability, validity, and model fit. Then we collect data and validate the cultural differences of SNS users in three nations. Our results show different rankings from existing literature in cultural dimensions about three nations. In terms of masculinity, we find China > U.S. > Korea, similar to Hofstede. In individualism, we find U.S. > Korea > China, different from Hofstede (U.S. > China > Korea). In power distance, it is shown that Korea > China > U.S., different from Hofstede (China > Korea > U.S.). Uncertainty avoidance is found that U.S. > Korea > China, lowered ranking of Korea from the top among three nations in Hofstede. We find that these outcomes would be useful in updating national culture of the three nations and for future research about cultural impacts on SNS adoption.
