Abstract

Our 2006 Journal of International Business Studies article, “A Quarter Century of Culture’s Consequences: A Review of the Empirical Research Incorporating Hofstede’s Cultural Values Framework,” provided a comprehensive review of 180 empirical journal articles and edited volume chapters published between 1980 and June 2002 that incorporated Hofstede’s cross-cultural values framework. We examined empirical research that positioned culture as either a main or moderating effect. The review attempted to make sense of the almost quarter century of research examining the impact of culture at the individual, group/organization, and country levels. In the present commentary, we provide: (a) a summary of the progress that has been made in the intervening decade, and most importantly, (b) a new set of recommendations for the next decade to guide those wishing to study the role of national culture in organizations.

Résumé

Notre article de 2006 publié dans Journal of International Business Studies, “A Quarter Century of Culture’s Consequences: A Review of the Empirical Research Incorporating Hofstede’s Cultural Values Framework,” a proposé une analyse complète de 180 articles de revues et chapitres d’ouvrages collectifs empiriques publiés entre 1980 et juin 2002 qui ont intégré le cadre théorique des valeurs cross-culturelles de Hofstede. Nous avons examiné les recherches empiriques qui considéraient la culture comme un effet principal ou modéré. L’analyse visait à donner du sens à la recherche de près d’un quart de siècle, étudiant l’impact de la culture aux niveaux individuel, des groupes/organisationnel et des pays. Dans le présent commentaire, nous livrons : (a) une synthèse du progrès qui a été réalisé durant la période d’étude et, de manière plus importante, (b) un nouvel ensemble de recommandations pour la prochaine décennie afin de guider ceux qui souhaitent étudier le rôle de la culture nationale dans les organisations.
