VSM Data Analysis and Cultural Value Constructs
•
Main objective of the presentation
The presentation starts with a premise that human cultural values are
"universal", and there are universal cultural similarities and differences in
values that exist across nations (countries) and different cultural groupings.
Global indexing of values through comparative analysis is one meaningful
way of understanding societies and human social behaviour.
The presentation will highlight the methods of the study and the findings of
the Values Survey Module (VSM) 2013 derived from Emeritus Professor G.
Hofstede's work for PNG. (No study to date in PNG has examined the VSM,
except Triandis et al. (1986) cross-cultural study on Individualism-
Collectivism values. Findings- PNG is a collectivist society and Australia is a
individualist society).
The findings from this study will be helpful as it has implications for further
research and practice in PNG in fields such as public policy, public
administration, psychology, anthropology and organizational studies.View entire presentation
