In doing so, it extracted the lived experiences of multicultural employees about the cultural differences perceived within the country. South Africa is characterised by cultural and linguistic heterogeneity and a relatively large formal sector economy by African standards.\u0000 \u0000Methodology: For this cross-sectional study, data were gathered through a homogeneous purposive sampling of nine participants and conducting semi-structured interviews. This small sample size allows for a thorough investigation into each participant's lived experience to gather qualitative data. The specific phenomenological method used in this study is a novel interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), which seeks to extract data and discern meaning in the participants' narratives.\u0000 \u0000Results: The findings were interpreted through the lens of social identity theory within an interpretative philosophical paradigm. These interpretations were leveraged to extract a central narrative that is grouped thematically. The main finding was identifying several factors that contribute to the spanning of cultural boundaries in South African formal sector firms.\u0000 \u0000Practical Implications: The study identified how participants make meaning of their experiences within the formal sector of South Africa and how their interpretations shape their behaviour and attitudes.\u0000 \u0000Originality/Value: The findings indicate that a significant amount of intra-country cultural diversity is perceived in the South African formal sector workplace, which can cause friction and reinforce cultural stereotypes.","PeriodicalId":31480,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Professional Business Review","volume":" 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141673684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These dimensions include the scope of state intervention, these dimensions are The Political Dimension, The Economic Dimension and The Legal Dimension. \u0000  \u0000Method: This study adopts a research methodology that combines both descriptive and quantitative approaches. The descriptive approach is based on presenting concepts and describing relationships among institutional quality criteria. The quantitative approach involves using cluster analysis methods: K-Means clustering and Hierarchical Clustering to classify 11 Arab countries: UAE, Bahrain, Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, and Yemen.

Since many of these do not occur at the time of sale, they use installment sales. Especially the informal ones, which in some places are called \"fiado\" or \"pendura\", as well as the \"caderninho\" (little notebook), alluding to the note for later payment. \u0000Method: The methodology involved a literature review covering PIX and its impact on informal commerce and business management. It also involved field research with microentrepreneurs and consumers using an electronic form. \u0000Results and Discussion: The findings highlight that the adoption of Pix has provided a more convenient and agile payment experience for consumers, especially in informal installment transactions. This has positively influenced consumer behavior, increasing the propensity to make installment purchases and generating greater loyalty.
