This paper examines how cultural background affects empowerment practices at higher education institutions (HEIs). However, the influence of national culture on empowerment at HEIs is not yet recognized adequately, its adoptions for institutional management need further studies and researchers for broader perception. Since this paper is about empowerment at HEIs, the author will only take into account the nature of academic staffs that have different characteristics from employees in other organisations. For the purpose of this research, the Hofstede’s cultural dimension theory is used as an analytical framework to discuss about national culture differences. The results indicated that a well-understanding of academic staffs’ cultural background can enhance the effect of empowerment practices at HEIs. It also builds institutional interactions and communications which are the determining factors for the success of the institutions and the excellence for students |
