Abstract: This paper aims to assess if the perception and understanding of Sustainable Development is linked to the cultural background, namely the Cultural Dimensions established by Geert Hofstede or not. This research aims to evaluate if there are differences between Romanian and Moldavian civil servants concerning the way that sustainable development is being implemented. Considering the fact that the territory of today's Republic of Moldova was once part of Romania, the study tries first to identify if the Scores for the cultural dimensions of Geert Hofstede are similar or not and, further, to seek out if there are any correlations between these scores and the way sustainability is being adopted.
