Determinant Aspects of Organisational Behaviour, from the Perspective of Multiculturalism

The approach of the meanings of multiculturalism takes place within the array of relationships that are shaped in the organisational environment, which requires knowing the way in each the idea of work value is perceived by the involved agents. This mention includes the economic as well as the social context where the respective organisation operates. Each individual organisation is an entity with a formal structure, which functions in a complex environment, draws development and adaptation strategies as well as risk statements. Organisations differ from one another both in what concerns the action techniques and the cultivated values, the convictions shared by its members, making up what we define as organisational culture. This paper stresses the fact that, in terms of work performance, knowing and effectively learning the organisational culture by its members conditions absolutely the quality of the obtained results, the differences from one country to another being relevant. Not less important are, in this sense, the social and psychological variables that influence these differences.
