description The work appears in response to the greater interaction among employees of different nationalities. This interaction results from the growing use of teams in multinationals. Thus, we examine the importance of diverse national values to the performance of a multicultural team.

Our research results provide new measures of the cultural resources of the team and conclusions regarding their influence on the team performance.
