✦ Synopsis

Although until the late 1990s, people still debated whether national character exists and can be measured (Inkeles, 1997), many human resource development scholars have placed their concerns on comparing the similarities and differences among nations (Burba, Petroske, & Boyle, 2001;Kuchinke, 1999;Stephen, 1994). Cross-cultural comparison basically assumes that national cultures are measurable or comparable (etic). Although comparative study provides insights about cultural influence to HRD activities, researchers should also be aware of the limitation of the etic approach.
