| Summary: | It is a common occurrence for employees to encounter stress during the course of a workday. In such situations, individuals often turn to those in their immediate surroundings for support when confronted with work challenges (Hassard & Cox, 2015). An employee may opt to approach their workmate or even a supervisor. With that, the perception of approachability or distance in supervisors by subordinates is subjective and hinges on the individual's power distance orientation. The current research explored the relationship between job strain, help-seeking behavior, and power distance orientation among Filipino workers in the workplace. It specifically focused on how individuals responded to work-related challenges in this cultural context. The moderating role of power distance orientation is investigated to understand how cultural norms impact this relationship. After removing outliners, 377 data from Filipino employees were analyzed. Results revealed that job strain predicts the help seeking behavior of employees. Also, findings suggest that higher ratings of power distance orientation enhance the relationship of job strain and help-seeking behavior |
