Abstract

This research adopts the national cultural taxonomy of House and colleagues [47] and Information Age statistics from the International Development Indicators of the World Bank [79] to explore the impact of national culture practices on information dissemination capacity at the societal level. Nine hypotheses were formulated and tested. Countries with high information dissemination capacities were found to have a pattern of high uncertainty avoidance, high future orientation, high institutional collectivism, low in-group collectivism, and low gender egalitarianism practices. However, the results of the national culture values-based and culture practices-based regression models suggest that national culture values are more appropriate predictors of societal information dissemination capacity.
