This research is an exploratory study and design to find cross-cultural impact on information systems (IS) managers’ performance, job satisfaction and managerial value, particularly on American IS and Korean IS expatriate managers in the U.S. in the banking industry. Through the literature review, first, this study attempts to find frequently used variables to measure the magnitude of the cross-cultural impact on the two national IS managers. Second, a literature-derived research instrument was developed and pretested for content validity. Third, to examine the goals and objectives of the study, 14 hypotheses were developed through the literature research. And then the hypotheses were matched to the specific items in the research instrument in order to test them. Fourth, this chapter presents a research design, which used the cultural variables to separate the influences of the cross-cultural impact on the IS managers from the other variables, followed by the research methodology in which the questionnaire’s reliability and validity were tested using Pearson’s correlation analysis, Cronbach’s a test and factor analysis. Fifth, based on the data analysis, the test results of the hypotheses were examined, and compared with the existing literature. Finally, the research conclusion is presented.

Insight Into

With the increasing levels of multiculturalism in today’s business and the proliferation and essentiality of information systems, development and management of IS needs to be considered in light of the cultural factors which impact upon its utility. Hofstede’s work on culture is the most widely cited in existence. His observations and analysis provide scholars and practitioners a valuable insight into the dynamics of cross-cultural relationships. However, such a groundbreaking body of work does not escape criticism. Hofstede has been dogged by academics discrediting his work in part or whole. Nonetheless, far more scholars exist who support Hofstede than those that don’t. Most quote Hofstede’s work with unabashed confidence, many including his findings as absolute assumptions. This paper takes a critical look at Hofstede’s work and applies his findings to the practical needs of information systems. The paper finds support for the dimensions promoted by Hofstede in regard to information systems, but recommends continued research to provide greater clarity and continued applicability of his espoused dimensions.

AbstractIntroduction. The growing cultural diversity of Polish society creates new challenges for people who, in their professional activities, deal with culturally divergent people. Therefore, on the one hand, there is an urgent need for education and development in cross-cultural competences; on the other hand, there is a need to measure these competences with reliable and accurate methods.Aim. The goal of the present paper is recommendation of the Polish adaptation of the Cross-Cultural Competence Inventory (CCCI). In addition, the paper discusses the possible usage of the CCCI within the Polish healthcare system.Methods. The CCCI was adapted to Polish in a multistage process [1]. Briefly, it consisted of two studies, with 455 (Study 1) and 347 (Study 2) participants, in which the psychometric properties of the CCCI were evaluated in terms of reliability, internal consistency, factorial structure, test-retest reliability, and theoretical validity, criterion and convergent validity.Results. Although the original version of the CCCI was assumed to have a 6-dimensional factor structure, confirmatory factor analysis did not provide strong evidence for this assumption. However, as demonstrated in two studies, the Polish adaptation of the CCCI has satisfactory psychometric properties, such as reliability and validity (theoretical, criterion and convergent).Conclusions. Results of Study 1 and Study 2 support the conclusion that the CCCI can be successfully used in empirical research among healthcare professionals and students of medical courses. Future work may focus on further improvements of the CCCI by, for example, developing Polish standardized norms for different groups of professionals.
