This paper outlines a cross-validation of the Cultural Orientations Framework assessment questionnaire (COF Rosinski 2007; a new tool designed for cross-cultural coaching) with the Saville Consulting Wave Focus Styles questionnaire (Saville Consulting 2006; an existing validated measure of occupational personality) using data from UK and German participants (N = 222). The convergent and divergent validity of the questionnaire was adequate. Contrary to previous findings which used different measures (Ronen & Shenkar 1985; Schwartz 1999; House et al. 2004; Bartram et al. 2006) the results from this particular study indicated few national differences between UK and Germany however differences by gender were observed. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the development and use of the COF in practice. This may allow for a more finely grained understanding of culture than previous models such as Hofstede?s cultural values framework (1980; 2001) if further evidence for its validity is obtained and published.
