In the context of anincreasingly multicultural society, characterized by diverse ethnicities, cultures, races, religions,ages, and genders, this study examines the impact of internal disparities influenced byregional factors on social dynamics, with a particular focus on team dynamics across differentgeographical locations and their influence on social cohesion. Amid demographic andtechnological shifts emphasizing the growing significance of age, this research investigateswhether individuals under the age of 36, residing in major urban areas, experience lowerlevels of team satisfaction and interaction compared to their older counterparts and thosefrom smaller towns. Utilizing a dataset comprising 250 participants from leisure, work, andsports teams across Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, and Germany, the study explores variationsin team satisfaction among different age groups and regional backgrounds. This papercontributes to the understanding of how multicultural environments affect team dynamics,highlighting the importance of considering both age and regional factors in assessing teamsatisfaction within both work and recreational settings.
