The purpose of our study is to enhance the understanding of relationships between conflict management style, team coordination, and performance in multicultural project team contexts. We investigate how conflict management can contribute to team effectiveness through the mediation of the level of team coordination by collecting data from 126 team leaders and supervisors and 378 members nested in different multicultural projects in the construction industry. Our results show that, contrary to the findings from prior research in other team contexts, an avoiding style of conflict management can have a positive impact on the performance of multicultural project teams.

This research attempted to connect the links between leadership styles and virtual team effectiveness. Linking leadership styles with virtual team effectiveness can result in virtual esprit de corps, which has been ignored in the literature. A theoretical model is provided and presents these links based on leadership style characteristics. Each style characteristic is matched with an effectiveness dimension, which was culled from supporting studies in the virtual domain. What this research provides, that others did not, is a topical view of leadership in a virtual context. The conceptualization and development of these links contribute to researchers, team leaders and managers, organizational theory, small business strategy, and policy makers involved in virtual configurations.

Ethical Thinking

This study employed both exploratory and descriptive approaches to provide a critical analysis of the significance of folktales. The aim was to illustrate how societies applied folktales as disciplines of ethical thinking, and how they relied on shared information and anecdotal knowledge as a great voice for social justice and socio-political control. The analysis demonstrates the value of this indigenous genre and its power to communicate innovative ideas and ideals. The sample folktale under discussion expounds the consequences of poor leadership skills, greed, bribery, fraud, power abuse, bad faith, unlawfulness, deceit, and corruption. Contemporary politics and socio-economic conditions, whereby single parenting is taking prominence, seem to emulate most leadership styles as presented in the folktale. The article concludes by demonstrating that folktales are still relevant in addressing challenges with regard to the promotion of administrative justice, the importance of records management and aspects of conflict management.

Conflict Types

Findings based on 186 teams involving 689 employees, working in twelve Chinese state-owned factories in three cities, indicated that a cooperative in contrast to a competitive approach was related to perceived team effectiveness, as measured by both team managers and team members. The role of conflict types for team effectiveness, on the other hand, is ambiguous. Furthermore, conflict management approaches affect team perceptions of relational and task conflict. Results suggest that a cooperative conflict management approach may be equally useful for Chinese work teams, as it is for teams in the Western context.
