Abstract

ABSTRACT In times of globalization of work and learning, the impact of national culture on learning becomes more important for human resource development. Therefore, this cross-cultural study had two objectives: first, to examine how power distance influences learning culture; and second, to investigate leadership as a missing link between the national culture in terms of power distance and organizational learning culture. Participants from Germany (N = 310) and Russia (N = 348) were surveyed via an online questionnaire. A structural equation model indicates a negative, mostly indirect effect of power distance on all seven DLOQ dimensions, mediated by participative leadership. Therefore, according to the results, leadership is of significant importance for learning culture, at least in global acting companies, and should be in the focus of international human resource development. Theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed.

在工作和学习全球化的时代，民族文化对学习的影响在人力资源开发中变得更加重要。因此，本跨文化研究有两个目的:第一，考察权力距离如何影响学习文化;其次，从权力距离和组织学习文化的角度来研究领导力作为民族文化之间缺失的一环。来自德国(310名)和俄罗斯(348名)的参与者通过在线问卷进行了调查。结构方程模型表明，在参与式领导的介导下，权力距离对所有七个DLOQ维度都有负向的、主要是间接的影响。因此，根据研究结果，领导力对于学习文化具有重要意义，至少在全球代理公司中是如此，应该成为国际人力资源开发的重点。讨论了本研究的理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍： Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
