Question 5 of 8 An officer on board exhibits a behaviour consistent with a highly masculine culture. How would you expect such a person to deal with a high workload over several weeks? Select the BEST answer. Highly masculine cultures are associated with highly optimistic cultures and see hard working and long hours as necessary for successful careers Highly masculine cultures always have a lower power distance and will always report if they suspect they are suffering fatigue or are tired They accept that the work has to be done and being tired is just a consequence of that Masculline people always follow rules and will be strictly guided by the rest hours' requirements

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the most likely behavior of an individual in a highly masculine culture when dealing with a high workload over several weeks. The concept of masculinity in cultures is defined by the values and behaviors that are typically associated with men, such as assertiveness, competition, and materialism.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The options provided are:<br />1. Highly masculine cultures are associated with highly optimistic cultures and see hard working and long hours as necessary for successful careers.<br />2. Highly masculine cultures always have a lower power distance and will always report if they suspect they are suffering fatigue or are tired.<br />3. They accept that the work has to be done and being tired is just a consequence of that.<br />4. Masculine people always follow rules and will be strictly guided by the rest hours' requirements.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />We need to evaluate each option based on the characteristics of a highly masculine culture.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option 1 suggests that highly masculine cultures are associated with highly optimistic cultures and see hard working and long hours as necessary for successful careers. This aligns with the characteristics of a highly masculine culture, which values assertiveness and competition.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Option 2 suggests that highly masculine cultures always have a lower power distance and will always report if they suspect they are suffering fatigue or are tired. This doesn't necessarily align with the characteristics of a highly masculine culture, as it doesn't necessarily value lower power distance or reporting fatigue.<br /><br />## Step 6<br />Option 3 suggests that they accept that the work has to be done and being tired is just a consequence of that. This doesn't necessarily align with the characteristics of a highly masculine culture, as it doesn't necessarily value accepting tiredness as a consequence of work.<br /><br />## Step 7<br />Option 4 suggests that masculine people always follow rules and will be strictly guided by the rest hours' requirements. This doesn't necessarily align with the characteristics of a highly masculine culture, as it doesn't necessarily value following rules or being guided by rest hours' requirements.
