POWER DISTANCE

Power distance is a cultural scale proposed by GEERT HOFSTEDE to measure the inequality of power distribution in social recognition institutions and organizations. It refers to the inequality of social status among people, and is a common phenomenon in various social and cultural groups.

Power distance is often associated with the degree of centralization, leadership and decision-making in organizational management. In an organization with a High power distance, subordinates tend to rely on their leaders. In this case, managers often adopt a centralized decision-making mode. Managers make decisions, and subordinates accept and implement them. However, in organizations with Low power distance, there is only a low power gap between managers and subordinates, and subordinates are widely involved in decisions that affect their work behavior.
