The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the similarities and differences between Hofstede’s and GLOBE’s Power Distances using theoretical and empirical analyses. The Hofstede PDI (Power Distance Index) and the GLOBE PD (Power Distance) are analyzed in terms of their concepts, definitions, structures and validity. Next, the relationship between the Hofstede PDI and GLOBE PD is empirically studied. We find that the Hofstede PDI and GLOBE PD are different in their measurements of the cultural dimension. However, the Hofstede PDI and GLOBE PDP (Power Distance Practices) have certain similarities when comparing external variables, while the GLOBE PDV (Power Distance Values) does not. The limitation is that our research data are based on secondary data from Hofstede and GLOBE. The data sources will correspondingly limit the research. Therefore, researchers should carefully select the Hofstede or GLOBE scores that are most suitable for their own research according to the true meaning and purpose of their research, which will allow researchers to more clearly, more accurately and more logically explain national cultures.
