Power distance in the workplace usually manifests in the type of relations existing
between boss and subordinate. In large-power-distance cultures, superiors and
subordinates consider themselves unequal, power is centralized to a few, and there is a
significant hierarchy with a lot of supervisory personnel (Hofstede & Hofstede, 2005, p.
55). Management is entitled to privileges, and the leadership style is often loaded with
emotions (p. 55).
