  • Abstract:

    This study aims at examining the site managers’ effectiveness with relation to their managerial style when managing multi-cultural work forces in the Middle East. Data were obtained from 79 site managers working with 41 international and 38 local organizations in six Middle Eastern countries. These are: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Libya, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait. Managerial effectiveness was found to be related to the style of site managers. The successful site manager is one who recognized and understands cultural differences of his subordinates and combines both leadership dimensions, task and employee orientation.
