20.500.12556/DKUM-94278 Intercultural communicative competence in virtual and face-to-face teamwork a quantitative analysis of culturally diverse teams Medkulturna komunikacijska kompetenca v virtualnem in osebnem sodelovanju kvantitativna analiza kulturno raznolikih ekip Purpose: Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of virtual teams has increased during this period. There is a gap in current literature about the transformation of cultural diversity, how it appears in face-to-face interactions, and how it does in virtual teamwork. Global, virtual coworking requires different skills in order to communicate efficiently and understand the team members. This paper analyzes the importance of intercultural communicative competence in virtual and face-to-face teamwork. Methodology: The research was conducted with a quantitative methodology to see the pattern regarding teamwork throughout culturally diverse teams. A total of 133 questionnaires were obtained for the data analysis. The collected data were then analyzed by using the IBM SPSS Statistics 27 program. Findings: The results found that intercultural communicative competence is crucial in virtual teams. With better intercultural competence, cultural differences can be identified and considered during project management. However, in face-to-face teamwork, it seems to be more complex. Willingness to discover another culture and eagerness to understand fellow teammates makes a higher priority than being temporarily effective due to intercultural competence. Conclusion: Intercultural communicative competence is a crucial workplace requirement in today’s globalized world, regardless of branch, profession, or geographic location. The ability to understand people with different cultural backgrounds is an increasingly important competency both virtually and in face-to-face interactions. Namen: Zaradi pandemije COVID-19 se je povečala pomembnost virtualnih ekip. V trenutni literaturi obstaja vrzel glede preoblikovanja kulturne raznolikosti, kako se ta kaže v osebnih interakcijah in kako v virtualnem timskem delu. Globalno virtualno sodelovanje zahteva različne veščine za učinkovito komuniciranje in razumevanje članov ekipe. Ta članek analizira pomen medkulturne komunikacijske kompetence v virtualnem in osebnem timskem delu. Metodologija: Raziskava je potekala z uporabo kvantitativne metodologije za preučevanje vzorcev v timskem delu kulturno raznolikih ekip. Za analizo podatkov je bilo pridobljenih 133 anket. Zbrane podatke smo nato analizirali s programom IBM SPSS Statistics 27. Ugotovitve: Rezultati kažejo, da je medkulturna komunikacijska kompetenca ključna v virtualnih ekipah. Z boljšo medkulturno kompetenco lahko prepoznamo kulturne razlike in jih upoštevamo pri upravljanju projektov. Vendar se zdi, da je v osebnem timskem delu to bolj kompleksno. Pripravljenost za spoznavanje druge kulture in želja po razumevanju sodelavcev sta pomembnejši od začasne učinkovitosti zaradi medkulturne kompetence. Zaključek: Medkulturna komunikacijska kompetenca je ključna zahteva delovnega okolja v globaliziranem svetu, ne glede na panogo, poklic ali geografsko lokacijo. Sposobnost razumevanja ljudi z različnimi kulturnimi ozadji je vedno pomembnejša kompetenca tako v virtualnih kot osebnih interakcijah. intercultural communicative competence culturally diverse teams global virtual teams virtual teams cultural differences medkulturna komunikacijska kompetenca kulturno raznolike ekipe globalne virtualne ekipe virtualne ekipe kulturne razlike true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-08-12 13:14:12 2025-08-12 13:14:12 2025-08-13 03:12:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 139-150 issue 2 Vol. 57 2024 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 005.64:316.7 245457411 10.2478/orga-2024-0010 1318-5454 https://organizacija.fov.um.si/sl/stevilke/let-57-st-2-2024/ 1 79ea009f-776d-11f0-a28d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195152 RAZ_Yousef_Katul_2024.pdf RAZ_Yousef_Katul_2024.pdf 1 EA1D0973A84B1E6E34E6A59CC58AB101 cb9e8da7defcf822d16cf4319ca860e278186821340c9fe1bb359b485c7c2211 b7c02c7e-776d-11f0-a28d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195153 Fakulteta za organizacijske vede Organizacija 0 0 0
