Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner (1998) came up with seven dimensions of culture which include universalism and particularism. Universalism emphasizes on rules, while particularism stresses on relationship. In order for one to achieve success, one needs to struggle and work hard. This is what meant by universalism.

One of its distinctive aspects concerns the role of belonging in explaining some motivation factors that predict managers' career success. The scope of study which focuses on the academic Heads of Department, namely the deans, directors, and chairpersons in faculties, centers, and institutes respectively are what make this study unique. In relation to the second aspect, the uses of social influence theory, social cognitive career theory and work adjustment theory as the common underpinning theories to support the research framework will further highlight the importance of this study. Perhaps, the findings on the performance of the predictors chosen and the preferred outcome, or types of career success are significant. However, to the researcher, finding how sense of belonging has inspired H...
