| Descripción: | This Dubai-based study investigates local Emirati women’s attitudes to professional interactions with different nationalities. Its findings reveal that respondents’ perceptions of personal attributes play a stronger role in who they prefer to engage with in work-related interactions than markers of national, ethnic, cultural, or religious identity. Responses indicate that the presence or absence of displays of interactive receptiveness strongly impacts on willingness to engage or not with another individual. This suggests a fresh theme for business communication instructors, namely, training students to develop and demonstrate receptiveness in order to facilitate open and successful interactions. It supports the notion that business communication research should place greater emphasis on interpersonal, rather than specifically intercultural, skills. Key words: intercultural communication; interpersonal communication; receptiveness; cross-national working groups; Dubai Résumé: Cette étude, basée à Dubaï, mène des enquêtes sur les femmes Emiraties locales face à des interactions professionnelles avec des gens de différentes nationalités. Ses conclusions révèlent que chez les femmes intérrogées, les attributs personnels jouent un rôle plus important dans leur choix d’engager des interactions liées au travail que les repères nationaux, ethniques, culturels ou religieux. Les réponses indiquent que la présence ou l'absence de l'affichage de la réceptivité interactive ont de forts impacts sur la volonté de s'engager ou non avec une autre personne. Cela suggère un nouveau thème pour les professeurs en communication d'entreprise, c’est à dire, ils peuvent former leurs étudiantsla de développer et de démontrer leur réceptivité en vue de faciliter des interactions ouvertes et réussies. Il soutient l'idée que la recherche dans communication d'entreprise doit mettre davantage l'accent sur les relations interpersonnelles, plutôt que spécifiquement sur les relations interculturelle ou sur les compétences. Mots-Clés: communication interculturelle; communication interpersonnelle; receptivité; groupe de travail transnational; Dubaï |
