| Abstract: | This paper provides an empirical investigation of the adjustment of managers to working in multi-national project teams in the pipeline and plant construction industry. The article examines multi-cultural teams, organizational socialization and expatriate issues and develops and empirically tests a model containing a number of factors that contribute to team members' adjustment in multi-cultural project teams. The findings show that cross-cultural sensitivity is an important factor for the adjustment in such teams and that adjustment has a positive role on individuals' satisfaction, commitment and intention to stay in the team. |
