Answer to Question 1

High masculinity suggests that most people would be more comfortable with the traditional division of work and roles; in a more feminine culture, the boundaries could be looser, motivating people through more flexible roles and work networks.
Based on Hofstede's dimensions of individualism and masculinity, more recent research was conducted by Gelade, Dobson, and Auer. The findings based on the masculinity dimension showed that the higher the level of masculinity (such as in Japan and Mexico), the more motivated employees were by being given opportunities for high pay, personal accomplishment, and job advancement.
This compared with those from more feminine cultures (such as in Denmark and Sweden), who claimed that factors related to their relationships with their managers and coworkers provided more commitment to the organization.
