“Imagine you got a job in PDO Company and were appointed as a Public Relation Officer in the Communication Department where you share office with Salim and Anwar. Salim welcomed you with a shy smile and doesn’t look like a sociable person because he is a man of few words. Anwar, on the other side, is outspoken and his voice goes loud sometimes without considering the professional setting. Sometimes Anwar inconsiderably will light a cigarette in the office which is annoying to you as well as Salim, but since Salim is a senior to you in the place, he should have stepped up and asked Anwar to stop smoking yet he didn’t. One day, the manager asked Anwar to go out for a field trip to write a report, but Anwar refused to do the task and started arguing with the manager disrespectfully with a loud voice and declined his request”.

My PRICA score was 36 while my PRCA score was 95. Having a PRCA score over 75 and even 80 shows that I have general to high levels of communication apprehension. My PRICA score reflected that I have low to median intercultural communication apprehension. I expected both scores to be relatively lower, so I was surprised to see such a high score on the PRCA. I guess that I do feel intimidated in most conversations, and I never want to intrude or put my two senses into any conversation in fear that I would be looked down on. Maybe I feel more comfortable talking with people from other cultures because I can learn from them, and I feel as though they might not judge me so easily for my thoughts and opinions.

These attitudes vary greatly around the world. An international manager has to face several issues related to communicating in another country -- what should he or she be aware of in terms of communication style, trying to decipher non-verbal behaviors, or figuring out the work style of their foreign counterparts? An American expatriate, John Olsen (U.S. culture and considered to be low-context and monochronic), new to Italy, was determined not to fall into the polychronic attitude and extremely high context, but instead, he soon realized he was missing the point about what was really being conveyed to him.

Conflicts wouldn't exist in an ideal workplace, but as everyone who has worked in an office knows, that isn't always the case (Patterson, 2022). When teams are cohesive despite having a diverse range of personalities and work styles, it can be a fantastic experience; but, if organizations are not aligned, it can lead to friction, which can result in misunderstandings, personality conflicts, and poor communication (Patterson, 2022). Furthermore, communicating with coworkers remotely has opened up new channels of communication that sometimes call for diplomatic navigation (Patterson, 2022). According to the web article, “The employer must establish and carry out workplace conflict policies and procedures as well as to design and oversee conflict-resolution initiatives. This obligation is based on creating an environment at work that strives to minimize conflict among coworkers. If an HR manager becomes aware of employees having disagreements, it is…arrow_forward

These are two words that you would not usually expect to hear spoken in the same breath. However, during the first few months of 2009, workers at manufacturing facilities of 3M Company, Sony Corporation, and Caterpillar Inc. in France took managers hostage. Why? To negotiate better severance packages and benefits for laid-off employees. French workers have long been known for their aggressive and radical responses to what they feel is wrong or oppressive treatment. Says one French executive, “Protest is inscribed in the genes of French culture. In the past, peasants protested against their lords. Today the difference is that the lords are chief executives.” Protesting French workers have been known to burn piles of tires in city streets or tie up traffic with caravans of farm tractors. In one instance, striking truckers blockaded roads and highways to highlight their campaign for retirement at age 55.
