Multicultural Teams & Groups

Class Discussion Discuss experiences in lego block exercise in terms of Cultural Intelligence concepts –Meta cognitive –Cognitive –Motivational –Behavioral

Working in Multi cultural Teams Meta cognitive CQ –Develop learning strategies to learn what the cultural differences in team members’ mental models of a group, a leader, etc. Cognitive CQ –Learn the content of these differences

Working in multicultural teams Motivational CQ –Persist in trying to determine what these are differences based on observation and experience with team members Behavioral CQ –Behave in ways appropriate to culture of group members

Content of differences in multi cultural teams

Points of differences in Multicultural Teams Mental model of a team Rules of interaction Rules of allocation Thomas, Earley

Mental models of a team Specific objectives vs. broad scope Voluntary membership vs involuntary role Emphasis on Group goals vs. individual goals –Social loafing

Rules of interaction Confrontational vs. face saving Hierarchical vs. egalitarian –Information sharing (Janssen & Brett) –Access to resources Relationship vs. task oriented Decision making –Collaboratively vs. individually Interacts with task?

Allocation rules Based on seniority vs. experience Rules for allocating resources or responsibilities –Need, equity, equality –Rewards depend on organizational norms

Group Composition Group Level outcomes –Advantages and disadvantages of increased cultural diversity in the group –Sub-group formation in moderately diverse groups Individual Judgments –Mental model of cultural diversity

Mental Model of Cultural Diversity Perception of self as a member of a culturally homogeneous vs. heterogeneous team Appropriateness of behavior Perceived status Perceived Cohesiveness and satisfaction Identification of self with task vs. cultural group  willingness to participate Perceived level of conflict, idea sharing Cost of effort to interact (e.g., benefits of learning language etc)

Culture & Group Task Production vs. decision making groups –Tool use –Emergency Temporary, project-focused task forces need good inter-member relations because of intensity and duration of member interactions

Interaction medium for Multicultural groups AdvantagesDisadvantages Fewer language difficultiesF-t-F is preferred for complex, subtle, ambiguous messages Social information difficulties are less Work Group identity is less Group formation is slow due to asynchronous communication Cohesion is less due to lack of physical contact Technology imposes structure Quality?Time to complete task is more

Structuring Multi cultural Groups

Objectives while working in multicultural teams Need to develop a shared/hybrid multi cultural team identity based on commonalities beyond common rules of interaction and allocation Formal coordination mechanisms Participation norms Earley, Thomas

Management Support Resource Support –Member resources in terms of cultural skills Design of work –Around groups vs. around individuals Norms of culture for diversity

Management Support Norms for rewards –Equity, equality, need –Group vs. individual rewards Evaluation criteria –Encourage exploring vs. exploiting

Status of multi cultural group Cultural differences in the Degree to which membership in high status group is important for members Work Group status affects individual and group performance

Status differences within group members information access Resource access Janssen & Brett

Training Support For being effective group members Using electronic tools for interaction Cross cultural training

Empowerment vs. self management Degree to which authority is delegated to the group can have positive and negative effects –Setting direction for group to empower vs dictating work processes and procedures Feeling of empowerment > degree of self management –Empowerment = team beliefs in efficacy, task importance, task significance, autonomy –Self management=autonomy
