| Abstract: | This study explores cultural variations in managers' interpretations of a key communicative process: worker participation. Semantic patterns derived from structural analyses indicate cultural differences in the meanings that managers attach to the term participation. The interpretive data are consistent with two dimensions of cultural variability: Power Distance and Uncertainty Avoidance. Managers from 5 European Community nations: Denmark, England, France, Holland, and Germany - discuss participation in highly diverse yet systematic ways. The implications of these findings for international management are discussed. |
