As culturally different individuals work together, energy may be employed as a resource towards building and sustaining a work relationship. However, current scholarship on energy at work and relational energy fail to take into account cultural considerations. To address this gap, we develop novel theory that distinguishes amongst various forms of energy to explicate how they are differentially interpreted in interactions based on cultural orientation. Integrating theories of interaction rituals and energy at work, our theorizing calls into question common assumptions in prior literature which privilege certain forms of energy expression (such as high intensity) over others (such as calm restraint). We further theorize that energy becomes a resource when culturally-different relationship partners go through a process of discovery as they interact, in which they learn about their partner’s energy contributions and communication preferences. Through adaptation, intercultural partners can then establish an equilibrium, or balanced state, of energy contributions to their interactions. The relational energy gained from reaching this equilibrium replenishes personal resources used in interdependent work with culturally diverse others. We explain how such resource enhancement plays a critical role in sustaining high quality interdependent work in multicultural organizations.

Using a social motives framework, I tested two process models that linked ethical beliefs of Relativism and Idealism to conflict resolution preferences of Compromise and Forcing through social values (Face, Collectivism, Dignity, and Honor). Cultural relativity of the models was assessed across three-cultural subgroups (Confucian, Hindu, and Aristotelian). Results revealed that the process model for Idealism held across cultures as Idealism was indirectly related to Forcing through Dignity and Honor. However, the results suggested that the process model for Relativism differed across cultural groups as Relativism was indirectly related to Compromise through both Face and Collectivism for Confucian cultures, but indirectly related to Compromise through Collectivism for Hindu cultures, and indirectly related to Compromise through Face for Aristotelian cultures. By examining the relationships between ethical beliefs and social values commonly attributed to cultural differences in conflict resolution preferences, the study disentangles the culture-specific and culture-free relationships which are important to resolving interpersonal conflict.

This paper explores the potential of conducting multiparadigm research within and beyond cross-cultural management, using narratives to examine how organizations shape migrant integration experiences and trajectories. It highlights the strengths of paradigmatic multiplicity in research with examples of three illustrative studies respectively using functionalist, interpretive and critical perspectives, while also considering the boundaries of these individual approaches. The paper proceeds to explore the potential of adopting a multiparadigm approach within a research strategy that places narratives at the centre of enquiry. It identifies the scope and focus of future research for a socially and politically important area of enquiry; it evaluates the application of diverse paradigm-driven methodological perspectives including the challenges involved in using them alone and in combination; and it develops a transferable framework to guide research in cross-cultural management, organization and migration studies that helps to assure procedural and conceptual rigour, and to generate practicable insights that facilitate successful integration outcomes.
