3 Uncertainty Avoidance Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind By Geert Hofstede and Gert Jan Hofstede The tolerance to the ambiguous and unpredictable All humans have to face the fact that we do not know what will happen tomorrow: the future is uncertain, but we have to live with it anyway.

4 Uncertainty Avoidance Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind By Geert Hofstede and Gert Jan Hofstede Extreme ambiguity causes intolerable anxiety. Every society has developed ways to alleviate the anxiety. Technology – avoids uncertainty from nature Laws and rules – prevent uncertainties in behavior from other people Religion – a control of the future - transcends beyond mortality

5 Uncertainty Avoidance Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind By Geert Hofstede and Gert Jan Hofstede Uncertainty is a feeling, a subjective experience! Anxiety is a diffuse “state of being uneasy or worried about what may happen.” It is NOT fear, which has an object. We are afraid of something, but anxiety has no object.

6 Uncertainty Avoidance Index Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind By Geert Hofstede and Gert Jan Hofstede The extent to which members of a culture feel threatened by ambiguous or unknown situations Anxious cultures tend to be expressive cultures: places where people talk with their hands, raise voices, showing emotion, pounding, etc. In weak UAI countries, anxiety levels are low. Aggressions and emotions are not shown (stress cannot be released easily)
