Abstract | This article applies Hofstede's cross-cultural theory of work organizations to the French public school system. The theory accurately predicted the heavy reliance on formal rules and procedures and the hierarchical structure which most outsiders associate with the French school system. It also predicted participative decision-making bodies and features which permit educators to exercise considerable autonomy in their work. Although the author warns against using theories like Hofstede's in a simplistic manner, she also suggests that they can help researchers avoid unconscious ethnocentrism and point them toward aspects of an organization from another culture which might not be immediately apparent to them.
