In the environment of the global economy, the workforce today has increasingly integrated different cultures, nationalities, and ethnicities. Diversity management is one of the critical issues in multicultural and multinational organizations. While the team approach is one of the popular management practices in organizations, it faces a challenge in a multicultural environment as people from different cultures may perceive things differently. The primary purposes of this study were to explore cultural differences in team and teamwork concepts, as well as team effectiveness perceptions of Chinese-Americans and Euro-Americans in American organizations. The secondary objectives were: (1) To develop a research instrument to measure Chinese-American perceptions of team effectiveness. (2) To explore the Chinese-Americans' concepts of team and teamwork and their perceptual characteristics about team effectiveness. (3) To explain the cultural differences between Chinese-American and Euro-American in terms of their team effectiveness perceptions.

520 $a In the environment of the global economy, the workforce today has increasingly integrated different cultures, nationalities, and ethnicities. Diversity management is one of the critical issues in multicultural and multinational organizations. While the team approach is one of the popular management practices in organizations, it faces a challenge in a multicultural environment as people from different cultures may perceive things differently. The primary purposes of this study were to explore cultural differences in team and teamwork concepts, as well as team effectiveness perceptions of Chinese-Americans and Euro-Americans in American organizations. The secondary objectives were: (1) To develop a research instrument to measure Chinese-American perceptions of team effectiveness. (2) To explore the Chinese-Americans' concepts of team and teamwork and their perceptual characteristics about team effectiveness. (3) To explain the cultural differences between Chinese-American and Euro-American in terms of their team effectiveness perceptions.
520 $a Based on the literature and interview data from Chinese-Americans who are currently working in American organizations, the Cross-cultural Perceptions of Team Effectiveness (CPTE) was constructed to measure the perceptions of team effectiveness, with additional questions to examine the concept of team and teamwork. Through email and contact persons, 236 Chinese-Americans and 62 Euro-Americans in engineering fields across the United States participated in this study.
520 $a The study showed that the Chinese-Americans shared similar concepts of team and teamwork, and also demonstrated similarities in their view of team effective characteristics of participation, cooperation, and individual development with Euro-Americans. They differed significantly in terms of team motivation, team climate, and team leadership.
520 $a The results of this study suggested that Chinese work-related cultural values strongly influence Chinese-American perceptions of team effectiveness in the following: A strong need to become an insider, a high valuation on harmony relationships, and moral requirements for team leadership. This study supports both sides of the convergence/divergence debate in international and intercultural management theory building. It also found that convergence will more likely occur in team structure and behavioral aspects, while divergence will more likely happen in the relationship aspects and attitudes. This research empirically supported the multicultural team management theories which emphasize the relationship aspects of team building.
