| Abstract: | lthough cirlture consists of the totality of assumptions, beliefs, values, behaviour, and their artifacts, values are considered to be the core of a culture (Hofstede, 1980; Kluckhohn & Strodtebeck, 1961; Leung et al., 2002). Hofstede mapped Indian culture in terms offour values-collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity. Triandis and Bhalvuk (1997) combined the first two to label Indian culture as vertical collectivist. Others (Sinha & Verma, 1987;Triandis,1995; Verma 1999; Verma & Triandis, 1998) supported the view that Indians are collectivists. Being collectivists, they are also high on context sensitivity (Ramanujan, 1990; Sinha & Kanungo, 1997) and low on abstract thinking (Kedia & Bhagat, 1988). Further, Indians are also characterised by the values of paternalism (Aycan, Sinha, & Kanungo, 1999). |
