Hofstede's framework for assessing cultures began in the late 1970's, while in the later future, the GLOBE framework for assessing cultures began in 1993. Hofstede based his survey on IBM workers in 40 countries and found that both managers and employees vary on five value dimensions of national culture. GLOBE based their data on 825 organizations in 62 countries and they identify nine dimensions of national culture. Hofstede dimension are power distance, individualism versus collectivism, masculinity versus femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term versus short-term. Some of the GLOBE dimensions are power distance, individualism/collectivism, humane orientation, performance orientation, uncertainty avoidance, gender differentiation, and future orientation. The two frameworks are very similar and are used to understand the differences of employees from other counties. These frameworks can also be helpful in predicting and explaining behavior of employees.

Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory is a framework for understanding how cultural values influence behavior in the workplace and beyond. It identifies six dimensions: Power Distance (the extent to which less powerful members expect and accept power distribution), Individualism vs. Collectivism (preference for individual over group goals), Masculinity vs. Femininity (value placed on competitiveness vs. nurturing), Uncertainty Avoidance (tolerance for ambiguity), Long-Term vs. Short-Term Orientation (focus on future rewards vs. past and present), and Indulgence vs. Restraint (gratification of desires vs. control). This model helps businesses and individuals navigate cross-cultural interactions by highlighting potential differences in values and communication styles.
