Hofstede’s Values -LOC

Abstract

This study addresses an overlooked link by multinational manufacturing managers’ job satisfaction, personality (locus of control) cultural values (measured using Hofstede’s taxonomy). Data responses from 248 managers working for US controlled firms located in the US, South Korea and Mexico. The findings indicate that the personality of the manager is a mediator of the relationship between job satisfaction These results should help multinational companies better factors that significantly influence The findings presented here indicate that multinational firms can design management control systems at the individual level versus having a management control system for each country in which they operate
