Cultural practices (GLOBE)

Knowledge

Cultural practices in GLOBE concern how respondents perceive arrangements and behavior currently operating in their setting. These “as is” judgments are distinct from preferred conditions. An observed norm may therefore differ from what people believe should prevail, rather than expressing their desired way of working.
