The power distance index dimension refers to the degree of inequality and hierarchy in a society. A high score on this dimension indicates that the society values and accepts unequal distribution of power and authority, and that individuals are likely to accept and even expect a hierarchical structure in organizations and society as a whole. Therefore, a hierarchical society is most likely to have high scores on the power distance index dimension.
