Abstract

The relevance of the work is due to an increase in the number of multicultural teams, multicultural collectives, interactions between workers and learners, which are representatives of different nations. The globalization of the economy has led to the expansion of international relations, which means that a clash of different cultures is becoming more common, affecting different spheres of life. It is important to study the characteristics of national values and small group processes for organizing the work of a multicultural team.

The results of the study confirm that culture measurements: individualism, collectivism, power distance and communication, conflict management impact on team member satisfaction. The results of this study shed light on the theoretical and practical aspects of managing multicultural teams in modern conditions and conclusions regarding their impact on team work.
