Abstract

ABSTRACT It has been posited that information and communication technology (ICT) diffusion can be explained by national culture since individuals from different cultures think and behave differently toward the development and use of ICT. To the best of our knowledge, the impact of Schwartz’s model of cultural dimensions on ICT diffusion level has not yet been investigated. This study explored the diffusion level using Schwartz’s three national cultural dimensions: autonomy vs. embeddedness, egalitarianism vs. hierarchy, and mastery vs. harmony. Data were obtained for 73 nations on three ICTs: Internet usage, mobile phones, and fixed broadband connections. The correlation results showed that autonomy vs. embeddedness and egalitarianism vs. hierarchy influenced ICT diffusion levels. The regression results showed that autonomy vs. embeddedness had significant impact on diffusion levels. The implications of these findings are discussed.

文化价值观对信息通信技术(ICT)传播水平的影响:一项跨国研究

信息通信技术(ICT)的传播可以用民族文化来解释，因为不同文化的个体对ICT的发展和使用有不同的思考和行为。据我们所知，施瓦茨的文化维度模型对信息通信技术扩散水平的影响尚未被调查。本研究使用Schwartz的三个民族文化维度:自主性与嵌入性、平均主义与等级、掌握与和谐来探讨扩散水平。获得了73个国家三项信息通信技术的数据:互联网使用、移动电话和固定宽带连接。相关结果显示，自主性与嵌入性、平均主义与等级制度影响ICT扩散水平。回归结果显示，自主性与嵌入性对扩散水平有显著影响。讨论了这些发现的意义。
