Highly masculine society(Australia) - Employees Motivation Needs (Pakistani)
Implication for Jack

Pakistan scores 50 on this dimension and is thus a masculine society. In masculine countries people “live in order to work”. Manager should be decisive and assertive, the emphasis is on equity, competition and performance and conflicts are resolved by fighting them out.



Highly individualistic (Australia) - Self-actualization need (Pakistani)


Implication for Jack



Pakistan is a collectivist society, so the score for individualism is low. Family plays an important role in Pakistani society. Pakistani people prefer to work around people they know well and those they trust



Unequal power distribution (Australia) - Self esteem (Pakistan)


Jack should Prevent unequal power distribution as it is harmful to self-esteem of a person.



Merit-based reward system (Australia) - Physiological needs (Pakistan)


Merit based reward system must be given preference as this system does not conflict with physiological needs
