“Do you feel like becoming a leader?” Emotions and the likelihood of self-nomination for leadership
Setting the Stage
Cross-Cultural Interaction
Pervasive forms of worldwide communication now connect us instantly and constantly, and yet we all too often fail to understand each other. Rather than benefiting from our globally interconnected reality, the world continues to fall back on divisiveness, a widening schism exacerbated by some of the most pronounced divisions in history along lines of wealth, culture, religion, ideology, class, gender, and race. Cross-cultural dynamics are rife wit…

The Work-Family Interface in Global Context
A growing number of work-family (W-F) researchers are engaging in the challenging work of conducting cross-national and cross-cultural analyses of how various national contextual factors influence work-life policies, practices, and outcomes at the organizational and individual levels. In particular, Ollier-Malaterre, Valcour, Den Dulk, and Kossek (2013) have been instrumental in promoting scholarship that includes analysis of how such macro-level…
Cross-cultural management education rebooted
Purpose Graduates of cross-cultural management (CCM) courses should be capable of both tackling international and cross-cultural situations and creating positive value from the diversity inherent in these situations. Such value creation is challenging because these situations are typically complex due to differences in cultural values, traditions, social practices, and institutions, such as legal rules, coupled with variation in, for example, wea…
Paternalistic Leadership
Paternalistic leadership (PL), commonly practiced in collectivistic and high power distant cultures, refers to the hierarchical superior–subordinate relationship where the leader provides care, nurturance, and guidance to employees in their professional and personal lives in a parental manner, and, in exchange, expects loyalty and deference from the employees (Aycan, 2006). Depending on the cultural context PL may be perceived as oppressive and e…
Differences Between Tight and Loose Cultures

Cultural Intelligence
The construct of cultural intelligence, recently introduced to the management literature, has enormous potential in helping to explain effectiveness in cross cultural interactions. However, at present, no generally accepted definition or operationalization of this nascent construct exists. In this article, we develop a conceptualization of cultural intelligence that addresses a number of important limitations of previous definitions. We present a…

A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Participative Decision-Making in Organizations
Despite considerable awareness about various forms and meanings of participative decision-making (PDM) in different parts of the world, there is less agreement on the causes of variation in PDM. This article argues that among other exogenous (e.g. sociopolitical, legal, historical) forces, the sociocultural context plays an important role in the observed differences among PDM approaches and practices across nations. Similarly, subcultures and org…
