Lack of motivation toward achievement and success

Saturday 6 July 2024

The country comparison tool on the website below is convenient to compare 4 countries on the six cultural values dimensions of Hofstede. But where’s the dimension Masculinity vs. Femininity? Apparently it is renamed or subsumed by “Motivation towards Achievement and Success”. So, typical Dutch and Scandinavian values that prioritize happiness, caring for your family more than material wealth, etc. is now framed as “lack of motivation toward achievement and success”. I detect a bias there that can be predicted by this very dimension, seemingly. What is going on here? If you know, let me know as well!
