A quantitative analysis of the perception of social stressors and their effects among members of culturally diverse work teams

The purpose of this study is to examine whether members of multicultural work teams perceive more social stressors than members of monocultural teams, and to explore the effects of these social stressors on psychological wellbeing. The results indicate that members of multicultural work teams perceive a significantly higher number of social stressors than members of monocultural work teams. Moreover, members of multicultural work teams appear to be more vulnerable to a lack of information sharing than members of monocultural teams. This research expands on previous literature and highlights the importance of identifying social stressors in culturally diverse teams in order to prevent negative effects on psychological wellbeing.
