Abstract

Innovation constitutes a key factor for the economy and the competitiveness of societies. Using the Hofstede model of national culture, previous studies investigated the influence of different cultural dimensions on national-level innovation. These studies provided for mixed evidence regarding the influence and weight of each cultural dimension in innovation. By considering possible explanations for these inconsistent results, the present study (N = 106 countries) showed that only two cultural dimensions seem to be consistently associated with innovation. Cultures that view change as necessary (long-term oriented) and are more accepting of norm violations (displaying low uncertainty avoidance) tend to promote innovation. These results shed new light on the way cultural tightness and social regulation processes can affect innovative behaviors.

文化价值观在国家级创新中的作用——来自106个国家的证据

创新是经济和社会竞争力的关键因素。以往的研究利用Hofstede民族文化模型考察了不同文化维度对国家级创新的影响。这些研究提供了关于创新中每个文化维度的影响和权重的混合证据。通过考虑对这些不一致结果的可能解释，本研究(N = 106个国家)表明，只有两个文化维度似乎始终与创新相关。将变革视为必要的(长期导向的)和更能接受违反规范的文化(表现出低不确定性规避)倾向于促进创新。这些结果揭示了文化紧密性和社会监管过程如何影响创新行为。

期刊介绍： Cross-Cultural Research, formerly Behavior Science Research, is sponsored by the Human Relations Area Files, Inc. (HRAF) and is the official journal of the Society for Cross-Cultural Research. The mission of the journal is to publish peer-reviewed articles describing cross-cultural or comparative studies in all the social/behavioral sciences and other sciences dealing with humans, including anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, economics, human ecology, and evolutionary biology. Worldwide cross-cultural studies are particularly welcomed, but all kinds of systematic comparisons are acceptable so long as they deal explicity with cross-cultural issues pertaining to the constraints and variables of human behavior.
