Abstract

Substantive research (Haire,1966; Hofstede. 1980. 1986) indicate that culture play an important role in influencing values, personality, and behavior of people. Nevertheless, there ae a very limited number of sempirical studies (England, 1975; Dwijaya, 1985) which investigate differences between managers role behavior in different countries., especially between Australia and Indonesia. The present study aims to compare preferred role types across culture, particularly between Australian and Indonesian managers using the Team management Index (TMI) instrument. , a measure of preferred role types. The present study uses a closely matched sample, which 126 managers from each country. Sex,, managerial level, and function are matched on both samples. Multivariate analysis of variance shows there is no significant differences between Australian and Indonesian managers in their perceived work preferences (extraversion-Introversion, Practical-Creativity, Analytical-Beliefs , and Structured-Flexible). The results also show that there is no significant differences found between their managerial role preferences (Assessor-Developer, Upholder-Maintainer, Creator-Innovator, Reporter-Adviser, Thruster-Organiser, Concluder-Produce, Explorer Promoter and Controller-Inspector). The only significant relationship found was the association between managerial level and preferred role types, inferring that managerial level is more important than country background for managers, in indicating their preferred role approach to managerial work, Nevertheless, care should be taken not to generalized the findings,
