The literature generally describes

The literature generally describes culture as consisting of deep-rooted values and
beliefs that are relatively stable over time (Hofstede, 2001; Schein, 1986, 1996;
Triandis, Vassiliou, Vassiliou, & Shanmugan, 1972). Therefore, a person’s national
culture can be used to understand potential behavior differences among cultural groups
(Triandis et al., 1972). Researchers have largely used cultural value dimensions in the
last decades to examine cultural differences in the management literature (Gupta,
2012). Taras, Kirkman, and Steel’s (2010) meta-analysis reveals that the predictive
value of cultural dimensions is equivalent to individual difference variables, such as
personality traits and demographics
