Cultural Diversity and Work Group Effectiveness: An Experimental Study
Abstract
Changes in workforce demographics resulting from globalization, combined with the rising popularity of team-based management techniques, has resulted in a practical concern with the management of multicultural groups. In this experimental study, three mechanisms that are proposed to influence group effectiveness are examined. Results supported the notion that the cultural diversity of the group, the sociocultural norms of group members, and their relative cultural distance from each other influence work group effectiveness. Culturally homogeneous groups had higher performance than did culturally heterogeneous groups on five group tasks. The degree of collectivist orientations of group members was directly related to their evaluations of group processes, and their relative cultural distance from each other influenced their perceptions of group receptiveness. A comparison of the results of this study with previous research indicates the importance of the group task and process-related feedback on group performance. Implications of these findings are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
