Abstract
Jordan, as an Arab country located in the Middle East, began to pay attention to change. Jordanian society began to move from an old-style state to a contemporary state. Where globalization had a significant impact on culture, either in terms of individual culture and organizational culture. On the other hand, many studies emphasized that culture through its dimensions has an important role in influencing the corporate atmosphere or corporate social responsibility, as well as affecting the financial performance of companies. Moreover, the literature indicates that cultural dimensions influence the conduct of individuals and the performance of firms. .
 The literature indicated that there are different dimensions of culture, including Hofstede's dimensions of culture, which are Power Distance Index; Individualism versus collectivism; Masculinity versus Femininity; Uncertainty Avoidance index; Long-versus Short- Term Orientation; Indulgence versus Restraint. This study focused on the Indulgence versus Restraint dimension, as a recent dimension, where through the literature it can be predicted the existence of a critical role for the indulgence dimension on performance. After reviewing the literature related to the Indulgence dimension, it was found that there is a shortage and almost no local studies conducted in Jordan regarding the Indulgence versus Restraint dimension. Since this dimension is new, this paper stresses the importance of more research on this subject to expand the local literature on Indulgence and its impact on the performance in the Jordan context and compare it with other countries in order to provide important and useful results for the policymakers.

Summary
The Jordanian society has begun to enter the circle of modernity and undergoes transitional processes from traditional culture to a culture of openness. Which the community has set up for this purpose, such as the school, in informal ways such as the family (Abu Asbah, 2012) This transition from a traditional to a state of modernity and globalization has had a great impact on the individual culture and organizational culture of organizations, and some have considered globalization as a protective shield against many of the challenges faced by organizations and their workers. The organizational culture (Schein, 1992) refers to concepts, philosophies, concepts, values, assumptions, beliefs, expectations, attitudes and standards. These concepts form the framework that illustrates the way in which the work in the organization should be taught to the new members of the organization as correct ways of perception and thinking. Organizational culture forms the standard patterns of individual behavioral practices and interpersonal relationships that arise between them
