Politics

I would like to work WFP. WFP is 国連世界食糧計画 in Japanese. This work can contribute to the development of the developing country. It helps people troubled with a disaster. I think it is not a simple thing to save people of the poverty. But I think the work to help a person is very nice.

Work Place Questionairre

My score is 28 on a scale of 0 to 100 = Preference for Tolerance for Ambiguity

My score indicates that you have a moderate Tolerance for Ambiguity and might be willing to give up job security for more opportunity. In countries/cultures with a Tolerance for Ambiguity, conflict in organizations is perceived as natural, and rules may be broken for pragmatic reasons. If you work in countries/cultures with a Need for Certainty, such as Japan, France, and Greece, you might react by creating a micro-environment that would shield you from the burden of what you might perceive as excessive structures, rules, and regulations. In countries with a high Need for Certainty, loyalty to an employer is seen as an advantage; a specialist career is preferred over a career in management.

The countries you requested are listed below. The numbers in parentheses refer to the country scores as listed by Professor Geert Hofstede in his book Culture's Consequences:

China (78) Need for Certainty, a preference for an environment that is more structure-oriented, and where rules, roles and management practices are clear and unambiguous

USA (46) Tolerance for Ambiguity, a moderate preference for an entrepreneurial environment which is less bound by rules and regulations
