Power Distance Defined 21
• Looking at the three questions used to compose the PDI, you may
notice something surprising: questions 1 (employees afraid) and 2

indicates what the respondents express as their preference : how
they would like their work environment to be
• Power distance can therefore be defined as the extent to which
the less powerful members of institutions and organizations
within a country expect and accept that power is distributed
unequally. Institutions are the basic elements of society, such as
the family, the school, and the community; organizations are the
places where people work.
