Diversity in cultural diversity research: a scoping review

Does cultural intelligence promote cross-cultural teams' knowledge sharing and innovation in the restaurant business?

“…Stahl et al (2010) defined a cross-cultural team as a group of individuals with different cultural backgrounds who join together to work toward mutual goals for the benefit of their organization. Essentially, culturally diverse teams help expand their existing knowledge base by providing a greater pool of diverse information and knowledge their team members contribute (Boone et al, 2019;Godfrey et al, 2019). A key process that allows a cross-cultural team to generate innovative ideas is members' active knowledge sharing (Dong et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, Leung and Wang (2015) argued that increased cultural diversity can reduce team cohesiveness and cause communication difficulties among team members. Godfrey et al (2019) also stated that cultural diversity among team members causes undesired conflict that weakens team performance and team innovation. From the theoretical perspective, the effect of cultural diversity that can reduce collaboration among team members from different cultures can be explained by social identity theory, which is described in the following section.…”

“…This perspective of social identity theory implies that individuals are more likely to share knowledge with in-group members who are culturally similar to them but are reluctant to share knowledge with culturally dissimilar outgroup members (Bogilovi c et al, 2017). Under this circumstance, it is difficult for teams to achieve innovative performance (Godfrey et al, 2019).…”

“…Fundamentally, a team comprised of members from various cultures can benefit from a greater pool of diverse knowledge and expertise these members contribute (Hakimian et al, 2016;Chiu and Fogel, 2017). Research has shown that cultural diversity in teams tended to enhance team performance, creativity and innovation (Boone et al, 2019;Godfrey et al, 2019;Knippenberg, 2017;Wang et al, 2017;Ratasuk and Charoensukmongkol, 2019). This also is supported by studies in the tourism and hospitality industry that have found that cross-cultural teams in restaurants and other hospitality businesses tended to exhibit improved business performance and innovation (Means et al, 2015;Salzberg et al, 2019).…”

Lifting the Curtain on Motivation in Exercise: Validation of Two Questionnaires for Physical Education and Leisure Time in French and German

“…In line with the SDT, autonomous motivation was found to be positively related to cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses in both physical education and leisure time (Ntoumanis & Standage, 2009) and, thus, is expected to be positively associated with physical activity in the present study. In order to examine motivational regulation in physical education and physical activity in leisure time in cross-cultural contexts, as those are constantly of high interest in the sport and exercise domain (Godfrey et al, 2019), a valid and accurate German and French version of a wellestablished questionnaire for each context provides promising opportunities. Therefore, the aim of this study is to translate the PLOC-R and BREQ-II and to study the psychometric properties of the theory-based five-factor structure as both instruments originate from English-speaking samples.…”
