Young professionals' perspectives on cross-cultural communication: Assessing competence and employer support across regions
Denys Lifintsev et al.
What the paper says
The main aim of this study is to determine the trends in young management specialists' evaluation of their readiness to work in a professional multicultural environment and their expectations of employer support in enhancing cross-cultural communicative competence. When designing training programs for young professionals and supporting their self-development, it is crucial to tailor them to address not only the potential cross-cultural interaction issues identified by scholars but also the expectations of the trainees, particularly those from Generation Z. While researchers have extensively studied cross-cultural interaction issues, there is a significant lack of information on the expectations of young professionals. This article aims to bridge that gap. The article examines the potential difficulties young professionals perceive in future cross-cultural interactions and their expectations regarding employer assistance in overcoming these challenges. Particular attention is given to identifying common trends and regional specifics, communication barriers, and strategies for overcoming them.
