Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the effectiveness of home pages to discover which design features of organizational home pages are more attractive to users of different cultures by employing two theories that were developed for studying different aspects and contexts of personality: self-construal and the social responses to communication technology (SRCT). The results of the experiment showed that the independent self-construal group tended to rate low graphic web sites more positively than the interdependent self-construal group, and it took less time to complete tasks in low graphic web sites than in high graphic web sites. However, even though the independent self-construal group was more likely to evaluate high interactive web sites favorably than the interdependent self-construal group, evidence that the independent self-construal group would be more competent in completing tasks in high interactive web sties than the interdependent self-construal group was not found. Although some findings have shown that traditional cross-cultural differences are still valid in distinguishing between different perceptions and behaviors online, others were interpreted as indigenous social issues and the technical progression of the Internet.
