Using a field survey of 81 self - managing work team (SMWTs) in belgium, finland, the philippines and the united states, we examined the extent to which team members' resistance to SMWTs mediated the relationships between team members' cultural values and team effectiveness. Specifically, we found that teams higher, rather than lower, in collectivism were also more productive, cooperative and empowered, and that these relationships were fully mediated by the level of team resistance to the ream - related aspect of SMWTs. Also, we found that teams that were more, rather than less, doing - oriented were also more empowered, and that this relationship was fully mediated by the level of team resistance to the self - managing aspect of SMWTs. The findings suggest that it may behoove managers who are charged with implementing SMWs to pay close attention to the predominant cultural values inherent in the teams they lead. Additional practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
