ABSTRACT: In this study we intend to test possible relationships between time perspectives and the Hofstede dimensions at the individual level in three cultural settings: Germany, Morocco, and China. The main basic assumption is that the configuration of time perspectives [1] influences the cultural dimensions at the individual level. We assume that time perspectives are relevant for some of the cultural dimensions, and we tested these hypotheses separately in the three cultural settings used (Germany, Morocco and China).
