International Journal for Business Education, v165 n1 Article 7 2023
This study investigated if the gender composition of teams impacts performance by examining the relationship between student-level variables of cultural intelligence and global knowledge and team-level variables of team performance. Data were collected from 1,922 students across 40 countries participating in 446 teams. Results of independent samples t-tests, as well as multiple regression analyses at the student and team levels, showed that gender and international status were related to global knowledge and cultural intelligence, whereas gender, global knowledge, and cultural intelligence were all significantly related to team performance. The coefficient of variation was found to be low, suggesting that other variables might be related to team performance, cultural intelligence, and global knowledge. Implications and limitations are discussed.
