| Tiivistelmä: | This conceptual article develops a coupling framework for the analysis of the functioning of multicultural workgroups by integrating several lines of research and by reformulating their traditional conceptualization, outlining implications for their design. Applying the concept of loosely coupled systems to multicultural workgroup functioning provides the conceptual link necessary for a solution of the dilemma of multicultural workgroups. To design effective workgroups composed of people with differing cultural values requires special consideration of the contingencies under which the workgroups will perform so as to fully realize their potential. |
