Abstract:

From the point of view of the cultural contexts of management in the globalized and turbulent world, it is necessary to build on the concept of social constructivism as well as the assumption that social constructs are not generally valid but are conditioned by culture. In this context, attention is focused not only on social, ethnic, and cultural differences in the behaviour of managers but also on the impact of culture on the image of a manager. At the same time, questions how a particular culture influences the formation and behaviour of managers are examined describe the impact of culture on processes related to the work of managers (self-knowledge, self-esteem, management, choice, dissonance, emotion, motivation, control, etc.). In this context, there is also a place for social intelligence. On a particular example of social intelligence as a significant personality characteristic of managers, the aim of the presented research was to identify and specify the impact of the cultural context on the perception of this attribute.
