Power distance index (PDI):
This explains the extent to which less powerful persons get acceptance in society. PDI
index of UK show equal score 35. That means it has low score that means companies have flatter
organisations (Kearney and Kruger, 2016). Hilton hotel treats its employees equal as it treats its
managers. This does not make any difference between supervisors and lower level workers. This
encourage workers and they feel motivated. This makes their behaviour positive and people work
in team well. By this way they contribute well in making the organisation successful and gaining
competitive advantage. Hence it positively impacts on individual, team behaviour.
Individualism vs collectivism (IDV)
This reflects the extent to which people love to work individually or like to work
collectively. UK has 89 score of individualism. That shows that people enjoy challenges and they
like to keep their things private. They love freedom. Hilton hotel gives space to its staff members
which supports in influencing behaviour of workers in positive manner and making them able to
work in team well. By this way organisational performance gets raised and it support business in
generating sales by retaining talent (Grobler, Moloi and van Tonder, 2018).
