What is Uncertainty Avoidance?
“Uncertainty always creates doubt, and doubt creates fear.” – Oscar Munoz
Uncertainty Avoidance was first researched by Dutch social psychologist Geert Hofstede in the 1960’s. A former military man, Hofstede was esteemed for his work with IBM in a study that analyzed how national/cultural differences directly affect business behaviors. The concept of Uncertainty Avoidance (UA) deals with a society’s tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity, their search for an absolute truth. It indicates how cultures or organizations program themselves to feel about unstructured situations. These unstructured situations involve the unknown, unsuspecting events, or things altogether different from the usual.
Research
shows that different groups are trained to have different levels of comfort
with uncertainty. The research shows that groups with high UA cultures tend to
make decisions based off experience. While groups with low UA cultures
are more comfortable taking risk and facilitating the adoption of new
practices. Examining United States UA level of 46 and comparing it to Spain UA
level of 86, there is an interesting correlation
in crime and accident statistics in each country: the US having a Crime Index 46 compared to
Spain’s 31 as compared to the
US having accidents being responsible for 6% of all deaths compared to Spain’s
2.8%. This is not to say that the United Sates and Spain are comparable on
every level. Uncertainty avoidance is not only about the reluctance to take
risks but the active prevention of risk being present. As a corporation, M3T prides itself on
promoting and providing high levels of uncertainty avoidance through all our
actions.
