Cultural Conflict
"When cultural differences are embraced, group performance and productivity can increase; however as different cultures solve conflicts or disagreements in differing manners, open communication is key in creating functional compromise (Sikes, Gulbro, & Shonesy, 2010)."
Choosing a conflict-resolution style that is culture-appropriate may yield more positive results for both parties. For instance, although you may feel you have “won”, using a competitive-style with an individual whose culture values accommodation, does not lead to positive team outcomes.
