Author: Dr.S.Poongavanam ,
Professor, AMET Business School, AMET University, Chennai
Abstract: The globalization of the maritime industry has led to the widespread adoption of multinational crewing practices, transforming ships into multicultural workplaces operating under high-risk and highly regulated conditions. While multinational crews provide economic and operational advantages, they also introduce complex managerial challenges related to communication, leadership, teamwork, safety behavior, and employee well-being. This paper examines cross-cultural differences among seafarers and analyzes their influence on key managerial and operational outcomes in international shipping. Using empirical evidence collected from 300 seafarers working on international merchant vessels, the study applies established theories of culture, leadership, communication, and safety to evaluate the impact of cultural diversity on shipboard performance. The findings reveal that cultural dimensions such as power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and collectivism significantly affect leadership perception, communication effectiveness, teamwork, and safety compliance. The study concludes that effective cross-cultural management is critical for enhancing operational efficiency, safety performance, and seafarer well-being in multinational ship crews.
