First conceptualized by Hofstede, and later presented as two sub-constructs within Project GLOBE's cross-cultural framework, collectivism is a group- or societal-level construct. It cannot be used to refer to individuals.
In-group Collectivism From Project GLOBE, in-group collectivism is an expression of pride, loyalty and cohesiveness with regard to one's family or organization. It is about the strength of small-group ties and is also known as "individual" collectivism, "family" collectivism and, sometimes, "collectivism II" (House et al., 2004). Institutional Collectivism From Project GLOBE, institutional collectivism refers to the extent to which a society's institutions encourage individuals to be integrated into groups and organizations within the society. Collective distribution of resources and collective action are encouraged and rewarded by organizations. This form of collectivism is also known as "collectivism I." (House et al., 2004) Collectivism As introduced by Hofstede, "collectivism" refers to being less concerned with the individual self and more concerned with important group allegiances. People are born into extended families or clans, "who protect them in exchange for loyalty" but also invade their private lives, predetermine their opinions, and comprise the basis for their identity. The individual is emotionally dependent on his or her organizations and institutions (Hofstede, 1980). References Hofstede, G. (1980).
