The paper presents comparative analysis of Russian employees’ participation in decision making in domestic and foreign-owned companies operating in Russia. The authors focus on the issue of high and low power distance cultures interaction inside organisations. Empirical data of the research were collected from 623 professionals and managers from 17 private companies in 3 Russian cities. The authors state that the “background influence” of high power-distance Russian culture provides general low participation rates of Russian employees in decision making. However, the phenomenon of cultural convergence is observed in foreign-owned companies: low power distance culture of owners and top-management of these companies provides higher employees’ participation rates; their employees are more motivated towards participation and more proactive. Foreign-owned companies are also perceived by their employees as being more “democratic” than domestic ones
