Abstract

This study is to investigate the fact that managers from different cultures have different values and to reveal the dimensions of Azerbaijani managers' personal values. This study aimed to explore cultural differences in Azerbaijani managers using Hofstede's cultural dimensions as a framework. A total of 173 surveys were collected from managers in the city of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. Hofstede and Minkov's formulas for six dimensions (Power Distance, Individualism vs Collectivism, Masculinity vs Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long-vs Short-Term Orientation, and Indulgence vs Restraint) were used to analyze the data. The reliability analysis showed that the scale was reliable, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.811. The findings indicated that Azerbaijani managers have high perceptions of power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity but low levels of individualism and indulgence.
