“…Regarding the gender differences found in the present study, the levels of selfreported stress may be influenced by the style of gender socialization in CZ, DE, and SK. All the countries included in the present study are those that are relatively high in Hofstede's cultural dimension of masculinity (Hofstede Insights, 2021). In masculine cultures, men are expected to be ego oriented and the value of heroism is highly preferred during men's socialization.…”

“…To determine the degree of femininity/masculinity of the culture of the 15 countries, the masculinity index scores from Hofstede's studies were used (Hofstede, 2021). Scores ranged from 14 (The Netherlands) to 70 (Italy), with lower scores indicating a more feminine culture and higher scores indicating a more masculine culture.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic created stressors and uncertainty, particularly for women. This international study explored whether the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women’s stressful experiences and future expectations is associated with Hofstede’s cultural dimension of femininity/masculinity, which refers to the cultural constructions of gender role differences. In total, 1218 women from 15 countries varying in cultural femininity/masculinity provided narrative data by answering open-ended questions via an online survey. Data were analysed using mixed methods, starting with thematic content analysis followed by logistic regression analyses. The findings from the regression analysis indicate that many stresses and expectations that were mentioned in the narratives were unrelated to the cultural femininity/masculinity. However, women from masculine cultures more often expressed disorientation, while women from feminine cultures more often wrote about negative emotions. Additionally, women from masculine cultures had more future expectations regarding daily activities, while women from feminine cultures had more expectations regarding social activities, work and economic revival, and universal social issues. The pandemic seems to confront women in both types of culture with similar challenges. The differences between women from feminine versus masculine cultures indicate that increased societal participation and responsibilities of women in feminine cultures was associated with negative affect during the pandemic, but they also propelled plentiful expectations for the future “after COVID-19”.

“…Organisational prestige was measured using the five items from Finally, cultural differences between the selected countries can be seen in terms of Hofstede's classification of national cultures (Hofstede, 2022;Hofstede & Bond, 1984). Hofstede's (2022) scores range from 0 to 100.…”

“…The unemployment rate is lower than 5.0% in all the countries, with the exception of Spain (12.3%). 1 Cultural differences are also relevant, including hierarchical (e.g., Spain and Kazakhstan), individualistic (e.g., Germany), collectivistic (e.g., Kazakhstan and Ecuador), uncertainty avoidant (e.g., Germany and Spain), and low power distance (e.g., Germany) countries (Hofstede, 2022;Mukazhanova, 2012). Focusing on the masculinity dimension of national culture, we have selected two masculine countries, including one developed country (Germany) and one developing country (Ecuador), and two feminine countries, one developed country (Spain) and a developing country (Kazakhstan) (Hofstede, 2022;Mukazhanova, 2012).…”

“…Cultural masculinity is particularly relevant when examining sustainability issues. Masculine societies consider achievements and success to be a priority (Hofstede, 2022). As organisational prestige can be perceived as a sign of organisational success, individuals from masculine cultures could respond to organisational prestige differently than individuals from feminine cultures.…”

Does business commitment to sustainability increase job seekers' perceptions of organisational attractiveness? The role of organisational prestige and cultural masculinity

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study analyses how recruiting messages showing commitment to sustainability influence job seekers' perceptions of organisational attractiveness. To address a call from prior research, we propose that organisational prestige mediates the positive relationship between commitment to sustainability and attractiveness. As job seekers from different cultures can have different responses to companies' information, the moderating role of the masculinity dimension of national culture is also examined. In a study of 412 job seekers from four different countries, experimental manipulation was used to assess perceptions of different recruiting messages containing information on business sustainability. Results support the proposed relationships. Theoretical and practical contributions include the integration of signalling and social identity theories to considering a wide variety of mechanisms which show how individuals are attracted to organisations and useful information for helping managers to recruit young talent. Using a sample of young part‐time job seekers is a limitation of this work.
