Abstract

Existing global work research offers little insights into the cognitive outcomes of nonmobile global work. Drawing on paradox literature, we propose paradoxical thinking as a potential outcome of nonmobile global work. We further propose that the breadth of intercultural work and the task interdependence are structural conditions that stimulate paradoxical thinking in this context. Results show that workers in nonmobile global work display higher paradoxical thinking than workers in non-global work (Study 1); and that when nonmobile global work is characterized by high breadth and high task interdependence it is most conducive to paradoxical thinking (Studies 2 and 3).
