Problem

Cross-cultural communication is often talked about in today's globalized business world. The research paper, "Cross-cultural differences in the Attitude towards applicants' faking job interviews" presses on the issue which is faking in job interviews. People from different cultural background sri are often prone to faking when they want to fit inside another society and lead a life in alienated place. This whole paper talks about how conscious distortion has eliminated hard work and authenticity, globalized business world has made people travel across the world for studies, trade, setting up businesses, and more which has got governments support for the whole movement. Cross-cultural differences are one of the biggest fears for any organization as there are no uninterrupted equality in any decisions. The whole paper focusses on 9 dimensions outlined by GLOBE which are Uncertainty avoidance, future avoidance, power distance, institutional collectivism, human orientation, performance orientation, in-group collectivism, gender egalitarianism and assertiveness. These aspects are most important to induce collectivism and also reduce faking in job interviews. It's very interesting to know how culture and attitude toward faking are related, secondly how gender egalitarianism has been opposing attitudinal faking as there is no gender bias.

All considered, we have to understand the role of culture in developing a positive relationship among business organizations in the globalized world. And, organizations must work on its interview process in order to select the best candidate for the job by no discriminations whatsoever.
