Main research question

How will cultural values influence individual team member’s responses to perceived social exchange contributions in a cross-cultural team setting

Initial hypotheses

Collectivism will be linked with greater tolerance of unequal exchange contributions than individualism

Femininity will be linked with greater tolerance of unequal exchange contributions than masculinity

Long term orientation will be linked with greater tolerance of unequal exchange contributions than individualism than short term orientation

Research design and methodology

I will use multilevel polynomial regression to analyze the moderating influence of culture on the relationship between individual perceptions of social exchange contributions and attitudinal / behavioral outcomes
