Abstract

This research endeavors to justify why tribalism__a sense of belonging to an individual’s tribe, superiority among other tribes, blindly loyal to a tribe, and demeaning outgroups__is a different cultural value different from Hofstede’s initial first four dimensions of 1984 in 76 countries. The author used the bivariate analysis and data from Corruption Perception Index, Tribalism Index, and Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions’ Study 2001. The results show that tribalism is different from Hofstede’s initial cultural values of uncertainty avoidance, PD, masculinity, and collectivism. The results confirm the author’s argument why tribalism should be added to Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions Theory. This study validates the concept of tribalism as a testable dimension by testing the relationship between tribalism and corruption using linear regression analysis. Researchers can use tribalism as a new cultural value that differentiates societies from one another.
