Power distribution (PD), also known as power distance, refers to the extent to which less powerful members of organizations and institutions (like the family) accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. This dimension deals directly with the level of acceptance among people for a hierarchy in which everybody has a place without further justification, including the aspect of how society handles inequalities among people when they occur. High PD cultures tend to accept a hierarchical order in which everybody has a place that needs no further justification. In such cultures, subordinates are more likely to follow the directives of their superiors without questioning them.
