A Systematic Literature Review on "Cultural Considerations in Performance Management: A Cross-Cultural Study of Employee Motivation"

Abstract

In today's globalized business landscape, understanding and managing cultural differences are crucial for organizational success, particularly in performance management and employee motivation. This systematic literature review synthesizes recent research on cultural dimensions, employee motivation, and performance management practices across diverse cultural settings. It highlights the nuanced relationship between culture and motivational dynamics, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive approaches in performance management. Drawing from empirical studies, it examines variations in performance management practices, employee preferences, strengths, and limitations of current systems, and best practices for enhancing employee engagement. While offering insights into the complex interplay between culture, performance management, and employee motivation, the study acknowledges its limitations and suggests avenues for future research to further refine our understanding and implementation of culturally sensitive performance management approaches in diverse organizational contexts.
