Tiivistelmä
Efficient teamwork can improve the ability to learn or improve the quality of team outcomes. Meanwhile, with the acceleration of internationalization, intercultural cooperation has become a trend. People of different cultural backgrounds get together with diverse ideologies, customs, religious beliefs, etc. In this circumstance, intercultural sensitivity is urgently needed.
The focus of the study is to evaluate and measure how intercultural sensitivity affects teamwork. It is aimed at to improving the efficiency and quality of teamwork, and reducing the negative impact of intercultural sensitivity on teamwork. This will be highly helpful for future study and work in this globalized society.
The results of the study show that intercultural sensitivity mainly affects people’s ideologies and behaviours, and intercultural sensitivity’s impact on teamwork is increasingly positive.
