Jiaying is an HR manager at a research firm in China, and her company has opened a branch in the United States. Jiaying has been assigned to assist the HR department in the new branch as they become familiar with the company's policies. Jiaying wants to spend some time getting acquainted with the people in the new branch while she's working with them, but they mainly want information that pertains to the company. Which of the following types of social context is observed in the new branch?

a. A low-context culture
b. A feminine culture
c. A Machiavellian culture
d. A collectivist culture

(A)

A low-Contex culture

Explanation:

A Low context culture is a measure of how explicit the messages exchanged in a culture, organisation or company, and the kind of communications and direct manner.

Jaying wants to assist those in her new office in growing the new branch, but the workers are more concerned about knowing direct informations which pertains to the company.

Low-context cultures do not depend on contextual elements (that is, the speaker's tone of talking or body signs and language) to communicate information. They take a more direct and explicit approach. This is in contrast to a high-context culture, which relies heavily on implicit messages and contextual cues (i.e., the situation and the speaker's tone of voice) to relay information being communicated
