The meaning of sense of coherence in transcultural management

Meer over het boek

Managers face numerous challenges in their professional lives, particularly in managing diverse interactions within transcultural environments while maintaining their own well-being. This study contributes to the discourse on managerial coherence, identity, organizational culture, and transcultural conflict management in international contexts. It addresses how managers can enhance their ability to mobilize resources and foster coherence in challenging transcultural situations. The focus is on developing intercultural competence and well-being through a salutogenetic-oriented consultancy model: “Mental health in transcultural organisations” (MEHTO). This model is grounded in systemic, salutogenetic, transcultural, and transformative principles, encompassing counseling, managerial training, team mentoring, and facilitator training. It serves as a crucial resource for scientists, researchers, students, and practitioners in transcultural organizational settings, emphasizing the promotion of mental health, salutogenesis, identity, values, intercultural competence, and organizational culture. This practical model of health promotion is essential for international management and consultancy, making it a vital text for those engaged in transcultural organizational dynamics.
