Exploring the Roots of Culture Using Spatial Autocorrelation
This article examines the distribution of some well-established dimensions of national culture within geographic and ecosocial space. Using spatial autocorrelation to quantify the relationships between geographical location, distance from the equator, physical climate, religion, and national development and 38 cultural dimensions, we find a substantial degree of spatial organization; some cultural dimensions are as spatially organized as temperat…
Individualism, Masculinity, and the Sources of Organizational Commitment
The authors examine the dependence of organizational commitment on satisfaction with job characteristics that are valued differently in 29 nations. Evidence is found for the moderating effects of national culture. Satisfaction with job characteristics that are highly valued in individualistic cultures has an increasingly strong effect on commitment as national individualism increases, while satisfaction with collectivist job characteristics has a…
Predicting the Comparative Strengths of National Football Teams
Objectives. The aim of this study was to identify the chief social and economic factors predicting the strength of national Association Football (soccer) teams. Methods. A theoretical model was developed to establish an appropriate functional form for the relationship between team strength and the number of individuals available for selection. OLS regression was used to predict the performance ratings of 201 national teams. Results. The results s…
National Differences In Organizational Commitment
This article examines organizational commitment in a sample of 49 countries. Affective commitment (AC) varies significantly by country and is strongly related to dimensions of personality. AC is high in countries where the population is extravert and low in countries where the population is neurotic. Consistent with the notion that high extraversion and low neuroticism are indicative of positive affect, AC is also found to be high in countries wh…

The validation of the selection of male British Army officers
Achievement motivation (nAch) has been suggested by a number of researchers to be based on a number of underlying factors. Yet no one scale has been developed that incorporates all the factors suggested. This research set out to develop such a scale for research usage. Over three studies, a 49‐item scale was produced which measures seven factors. These are Work Ethic (WE), Acquisitiveness (for money) (Acq), Dominance (Dom), Excellence (the pursui…
