From a global perspective, give examples where your accepted/familiar way of motivation may work in one culture but not in another?
For a leader to maximize their motivational capability, they must know their people. Basic knowledge of the personnel a leader is directly responsible for is key to the ability to maximize their potential. How might a leader obtain this knowledge? Some describe it as leadership by walking around. While cultural tendencies provide leaders a baseline for expectations, assuming they take the time to look them up, individual differences make all the difference. Some cultural value dimensions that affect motivation include assertiveness, future and performance orientation, individualism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, time orientation, and work attitude (Deresky, 2013). While a quick internet search may provide generic insight, unless the workforce is a homogenous group from the host country, leaders need an individual approach. Interestingly enough, it is possible that the leader may not be culturally adept at dealing with employees on an individual basis. Some people like money, some like time, some like prestige, while others prefer free snacks.
Saji (2004) explored the dimension of time as it applied to workforce diversity and found that active leadership was required to balance the time orientation of work units to maximize productivity. By balancing the work unit's perceptions of time, sense of urgency, and propensity to perform more than one task at a time can help the individuals adapt to a different time horizon (Saji, 2004). Simply put, time management training is required along with an awareness of diversity management.
