EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES BASED ON THE MODEL OF HOFSTEDE

Sorina Dana VEISS, Ioan ABRUDAN

Abstract


This paper presents, in summary, the results of Hofstede's model for public administration of Cluj County Council. The own reference study on national cultures, conducted between 1967-1973 by Hofstede, demonstrates that regardless of what country or society is part an individual, he has his own and different point of view  regarding the definition of the  fair, reasonable and appropriate behavior. All these differences can be explained by the 5 dimensions studied by Hofstede: Power Distance, Uncertainty Control, Masculinity, Individualism, long-term orientation and short-term orientation.  The purpose of this paperwork is to determine the positioning of the organizational and management culture and public administration of Cluj County.

Key words: Hofstede, organizational culture, public administration, cultural dimensions, cultural perception
