This quantitative correlation study examines the relationship of the individualism-collectivism values, to leadership, and how it affects employee’s creativity and innovation in Turkish organizations. The study attempts to answer four research questions and twelve hypotheses of how culture values or individualism-collectivism of Hofstede’s cultural theory and different leadership practices affects employee’s …show more content…
The study investigates at utilitarian individualism-collectivism at the utilitarian and ontological to how loose or tight the structural interdependence affect the individual’s performance in teams. The study used 206 participants, grouped in 82 teams, who were undergraduate students participants from a public university. The participants in the study had to work in teams and individually to defend his or her territory from rival resources and allow friendly resources to enter. The measurements of the study were speed and accuracy. The results of the study determined that the utilitarian individualism-collectivism and ontological individualism-collectivism has a higher speed of performance if the structural interdependence was loose for heterogeneous groups. The results also identify utilitarian individualism-collectivism and ontological individualism-collectivism in homogeneous groups had higher accuracy than heterogeneous groups. The study discussed the generalization problems or the limitations for validity. In addition, the study gives recommendations for practicing managers for implementation and researchers for future …show more content…
The study consisted of 133 academicians from a Turkish university who took the survey. The detailed results and ANOVA analysis establish a low relation with collectivism and distributive impartiality and individualism and interactional fairness. The researchers offer recommendations for further research using a larger sample and take the sub-dimensions of individualism-collectivism rather than using just the two
