Question

Marlin works at an overseas branch of his organization. He needs some clarification about a project. He approaches a senior manager hoping to get a good explanation. However, he is instructed to follow protocol and sent away. He is also informed that only the team leads are allowed to approach the senior managers. In this scenario, the organization is most likely to have a _____ score.

Answer 1

The correct answer is high Power Distance index.

Step-by-step explanation:

Power distance refers to the extent to which less powerful members of organizations and institutions (such as the family) accept and expect power to be distributed unevenly. This dimension does not measure the level of distribution of power in a given culture, but analyzes how people feel about it. A low power distance score means that that culture expects and accepts that power relations are democratic and that its members are considered equal. A high score for this index means that less powerful members of society accept their place and are aware of the existence of formal hierarchical positions.
