Answer to Question 1

Attributes of individualism are low dependence on the organization and a desire for personal time, freedom, and challenge. Attributes of collectivism are dependence on the organization and a desire for training, good physical conditions, and benefits. In those countries with high individualism, self-actualization will be a prime motivator because employees want challenges. However, in countries with high collectivism, the provision of a safe physical and emotional environment will be a prime motivator.
