This paper represents an investigation into the classification of Mongolian culture using the six dimensional model of Geert Hofstede: Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism-Collectivism, Masculinity-Femininity, Long-Short Term Orientation, and Indulgence-Restrain. Mongolia was not one of the countries included in Hofstede’s original studies, and no evidence of a subsequent study of Mongolia has been found in the literature. While Hofstede and others did study many countries in Asian, there is a lack of empirically based research on the cultural classification of Mongolian. The results of this study indicate that Mongolia is a masculine, individualist culture that is relatively low in uncertainty avoidance and high in power distance, whose people have a short-term orientation towards time. The paper compares Mongolian culture with those of other countries in Asian, as well as with select cultures from other regions.
