What is your definition of a strong work culture...

A good question!
I don't have a fact-based or a researched answer for you. My gut feeling thinks about workaholism, burn-outs and generally people having less leisure time.
I just came to think through a Lemmy post/comment that a lower work culture can be a thing at all. Or is it a thing existing at all, in any country.

I've understood that America is a strong work culture, and Finland as well. But are there places with a lower work culture?

...what country are you from

Finland

Do you see a your definition of a strong work culture as a good, bad or neutral thing for the society?

Haven't thought of it. I feel neutral about it.

The only thing that concerns me is that there could be more burn-outs, more workaholism and more inflamed points of views towards the balance between work and leisure time in a stronger work culture.
