Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lamanya pengalaman kerja auditor berpengaruh terhadap penilaian fraud risk dilihat dari budaya individualisme dan kolektivisme, namun tidak berpengaruh terhadap evaluasi pengendalian internal. Lamanya pengalaman kerja auditor juga tidak berpengaruh terhadap penilaian fraud risk dilihat dari budaya high uncertainty avoidance vs low uncertainty avoidance.

This study examines the effects of uncertainty avoidance (UA) at the individual level on continuance behavior in the domain of mobile data services (MDS). It proposes a research model for post-expectation factors and continuance behavior that considers the moderating effect of UA, and verifies the model with online survey data gathered in Korea and Hong Kong. Post-expectation factors are classified as either intrinsic or extrinsic motivational factors, while respondents are classified according to their propensities into low-UA and high-UA groups. The results indicate that UA has substantial effects not only on the mean values of the post-expectation factors studied but also on the strength of those factors’ impact on satisfaction and continuance intention. The effects of intrinsic motivational factors on satisfaction and continuance intention are stronger for the high-UA group than for the low-UA group. In contrast, the effects of extrinsic motivational factors are generally stronger for the low-UA group.

This paper provides a theoretically grounded model of e-commerce adoption to explain differences in adoption rates among countries. The model extends the existing culture-policy-technology (CPT) framework to examine causal relationships between the technological, institutional, and cultural factors in order to examine country-level e-commerce adoption. Thus, interesting relationships among macro-level factors are hypothesized. The paper highlights the important of risk mitigating mechanisms or institutions to facilitate adoption of e-commerce in countries with high uncertainty avoidance. A call for empirical examination into country level adoption is answered by analyzing macro level data from 69 countries. The hypotheses are confirmed using PLS analytical procedures. The study is timely as e-commerce technology has now taken hold in several countries but its revenues in proportion to the overall total revenues remain low. The study is motivated by significant different in e-commerce adoption rates among countries. The paper makes significant contributions to literature and practice.

This research shows the communicational culture in government organization. The goal of this research is to know and describe the communicational culture in a government communication. This research uses several concepts, specifically value concept by Hofstede, individualism or collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, masculinity or feminity, long term orientation or short term orientation. Other concept is context of communicational culture, high context culture or low context culture. The paradigm of this research is constructivism and the approach is qualitative. The method of getting data is in depth interview and observation. Based on the data analysis, the values of government organization are collectivist value which explains that everything must be done together but in reality it is done only by several people, the high uncertainty avoidance, the high power distance, the masculinity value, and long term orientation to see the future. Based on the values, the communicational culture is not absolutely high context culture or low context culture. All of this depends on situation and condition, kind of organization, style of leadership and the values of a government organization. The conclusion of this research is collectivist value that is followed by a government organization influences other values and context of communicational culture. Thus, the good relations in a government organization must be developed between all member of organization especially between the leader and employees.

This study tests the role of national culture in tax avoidance by multinational corporations (MNCs). Hofstede’s four cultural dimensions are used to measure cultural differences across countries: uncertainty avoidance, individualism, masculinity, and power distance. The empirical results of the study imply that MNCs headquartered in countries with low uncertainty avoidance, low individualism, high masculinity, and low power distance engage in a higher level of tax avoidance than MNCs in countries with high uncertainty avoidance, high individualism, low masculinity, and high power distance. In addition, the cultural features of the parent company generally have a stronger influence on group-level tax avoidance than those of its subsidiaries. This study contributes to the literature by presenting empirical evidence of culture as a determinant of tax avoidance by MNCs.
