masculinity/femininity  

Définition

  • Masculinity/femininity is one of the five cultural dimensions identified by Geert Hofstede in his book Cultures and Organisations: Software of the Mind, where he presents the results of research on cultural variability or national cultural differences using survey data collected from IBM in 50 countries. Hofstede argues that this dimension is fundamental to understanding how societies cope with the duality of the sexes, suggesting that coping strategies would indicate how sex roles are distributed in the division of labor and how they impact hierarchies of work goals at the national level.
