A culture in which people believe their primary responsibility is to themselves is called?

• A. Individualistic Cultures
• B. Host Country Managers
• C. Crisis Recruiting
• D. Strategic Recruiting

Answer: (A)

This question tests how cultures view the balance between personal autonomy and group influence. In individualistic cultures, people see themselves as independent and prioritize personal goals, self-reliance, and individual achievement. The idea that one’s primary responsibility is to themselves aligns with valuing personal rights and freedoms over group expectations. That’s why describing this culture as individualistic is correct—the focus is on the individual rather than the collective.

The other options refer to HR concepts, not cultural orientations: host country managers describe local leadership rather than a cultural dimension; crisis recruiting and strategic recruiting are recruitment approaches, not descriptions of how people view their responsibilities.
