IIA-CIA-Part3 Exam - Question 24


When initiating international ventures, an organization should consider cultural dimensions in order to prevent misunderstandings. Which of the following does not represent a recognized cultural dimension in a work environment?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Self control is not typically considered a recognized cultural dimension in a work environment. Cultural dimensions commonly analyzed in cross-cultural studies include power distance, which relates to how power is distributed and accepted in a society; masculinity versus femininity, which refers to the distribution of emotional roles between genders; and uncertainty avoidance, which measures a society's tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. Self control, while important in personal behavior, does not fit into these types of cultural dimensions studied in the context of international ventures.

A. Self control. Self control is not typically considered as a recognized cultural dimension in a work environment. The other options listed—power distance, masculinity versus femininity, and uncertainty avoidance—are recognized cultural dimensions that are often studied and considered when analyzing cross-cultural differences in the workplace. These dimensions help to understand how different cultures approach power dynamics, gender roles, and tolerance for ambiguity. However, self control, while important in personal and professional behavior, is not typically categorized as a distinct cultural dimension in the same way as the others listed.
