摘要:The effects of traning method and learning style on cross-cultural training outcomes were examined. MBA students (N = 123) completed a learning style inventory and were randomly assigned to receive either didactic or experiential training. In the didactic training condition, cross-cultural concepts and issues were presented through lectures, discussions, and video clips. In the experiential training condition, participants role played a cross-cultural simulation game. Results indicated that cross-cultural attitude and trainee reaction were more positive when the training method matched trainees’ learning styles than when it did not. This effect was mediated by perceived control. Implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
