تكافؤ القياس لمقياس CVSCALE لقيم هوفستيد الثقافية : دراسة عبر ثقافية

الملخص EN

The current research aims to answer the following questions : 1) Are the two models proposed by Yoo, et al.

(2011) for their CVSCALE measure of Hofstede's cultural values (five interrcorelated factors model and independent factors model), correspond to the data for the Egyptian and Saudi cultures ?, 2) What is the order of cultural values in both Egyptian and Saudi culture, and are there differences between them in the averages of cultural values ?, 3(Are there differences between males and females in each culture over cultural Values ? By Amos – 24, confirmatory factor analysis was operated for the data of the University students (248 Egyptian and 298 Saudi).The results reveals that the fit goodness indices for correlated factors model and independent factors model are fairly good.

Also, the order of cultural values is similar in both cultures, and this may be due to the nature of the sample as a university student, while, there are not differences between two cultures except power distance for Saudi.

Finally the there are some gender differences in the two cultures.
