Managing Mexican Workers: Implications of Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions‪.‬

INTRODUCTION The way an employee chooses to think, feel, and act on the job can be a function of the culture from which he or she comes. Thus, applying a single management approach in all work settings around the world may be ineffective in motivating and leading workers to be more productive and successful in their job. Cultural research indicates that Western-based theories of management may fail in some countries and in some societies because countries have unique views of job satisfaction and motivation. Management literature has revealed that an individual's job interests and the importance with which these interests are viewed vary from country to country; and the significance of an individual's needs is influenced by his/her values and beliefs within a given culture (Ronen, 2001).
