Multicultural work in five nations organisations

Kiefer, Dagmar - Nama Orang

This book aims at developing an understanding of multicultural work in five Or-ganisations of the United Nations. The context of international organisations dif-fers from international companies, amongst others, with regards to the legal base, the financial and operational agenda, and human resource practices. The purpose of this study is to explore which factors are a trigger, a barrier, and/or an influence on team and group work in this specific context. Based on 50 semi-structured, personal interviews a typology of multicultural work is pro-vided. Moreover, this study offers an integrative view of the reciprocal relation-ships between organisation, management, group and individual.
