“…It acknowledges that due to these cultural differences, teamwork has been improved. This points out the crucial role of cultural awareness; furthermore, it suggests that the recognition of cultural diversity can actually be an asset to the team (Pervez, et al, 2022). Getting to know each other and building trust is complex in culturally diverse teams.…”

“…Global virtual teams (GVTs) consist of geographically, organizationally, and temporally dispersed members collaborating through information and telecommunication technologies to perform tasks (Powell et al, 2004). GVTs are virtual teams whose members are separated by national borders, and they might have never met each other before (Pervez et al, 2022;Zwerg-Villegas and Martínez-Dí, 2016). A study by Culture Wizard (2020) highlights the latest trends in the global workplace; it shows that nearly 70% of multinational organizations' employees want to continue working from home at least half the time after the pandemic.…”

Purpose Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of virtual teams has increased during this period. There is a gap in current literature about the transformation of cultural diversity, how it appears in face-to-face interactions, and how it does in virtual teamwork. Global, virtual coworking requires different skills in order to communicate efficiently and understand the team members. This paper analyzes the importance of intercultural communicative competence in virtual and face-to-face teamwork. Methodology The research was conducted with a quantitative methodology to see the pattern regarding teamwork throughout culturally diverse teams. A total of 133 questionnaires were obtained for the data analysis. The collected data were then analyzed by using the IBM SPSS Statistics 27 program. Findings The results found that intercultural communicative competence is crucial in virtual teams. With better intercultural competence, cultural differences can be identified and considered during project management. However, in face-to-face teamwork, it seems to be more complex. Willingness to discover another culture and eagerness to understand fellow teammates makes a higher priority than being temporarily effective due to intercultural competence. Conclusion Intercultural communicative competence is a crucial workplace requirement in today’s globalized world, regardless of branch, profession, or geographic location. The ability to understand people with different cultural backgrounds is an increasingly important competency both virtually and in face-to-face interactions.

“…Several studies, on the other hand, are contradictory and often faulty, pointing in opposite ways with respect to the important criteria contributing to the success of expatriates and their intention to remain in the country in which they are hosted. According to Pervez, Lowman, and Mills (2022), there are a variety of factors that are related with expatriate job satisfaction. Some of these factors include cultural training, perceptual skills, and the novelty of the culture.…”

Purpose: Expatriates are the key players in establishing and running the international business in the host country. Therefore, a burgeoning debate has been done regarding their effectiveness and their intent to stay in the host country. In this regard, most of the researchers have explored the organizational factors. However, there is scant research that explores the psychological capabilities of an individual as an expatriate to sense and act in accordance with the cultural and social environment of the host country. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the effect of cultural and social intelligence on expatriate’s intent to stay through job satisfaction. Design/Methodology/Approach: In order to meet the objectives of the research, 303 expatriates in Pakistan were selected as target respondents using simple random sampling technique. The collected data was then analyzed by adopting PLS-SEM approach using Smart PLS 3.0 software. Findings: The findings of the study revealed a significant association of cultural and social intelligence with job satisfaction. In addition, the relationship of job satisfaction and expatriates’ intent to stay was also established. The findings of the study also confirm the mediating role of job satisfaction between the relationship of cultural and social intelligence with expatriate intent to stay. Implications/Originality/Value: The significance of expatriates cannot be overlooked from the host country’s perspective. Therefore, this study is unique in its kind that explains the factors that are significant in enhancing expatriates’ intent to stay in Pakistan.
