  2. 1. PARADIGM OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE This communication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Nr. LLP-LDV-TOI-2013-LT-0145

  3. In the context of vocational training and workplace one of proposed and accepted definitions is such: „Competence is the capability to perform; to use knowledge, skills and attitudes that are integrated in the professional repertoire of the individual“ (Mulder et al., 2006). This communication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Nr. LLP-LDV-TOI-2013-LT-0145

  4. One of the most quotabledeffinition states: „Intercultural competence is the appropriate and effective management of interaction between people who, to some degree or another, represent different or divergent affective, cognitive, and behavioral orientations to the world“ (Spitzberg & Changon, 2009, p. 7). This communication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Nr.

  5. Authors of handbook „Building Intercultural Competences“ summarize, that: „intercultural competence“ could be defined as cultural-aware mobilization, managed by individuals, of knowledge, skills, atitudes and values, enabing them to cope with unfamiliar ever changing problems arising from encounters with people socialized in different culture, in order to find new and shared solutions (Bednardz, Onorati, 2010, p. 46).

LLP-LDV-TOI-2013-LT-0145

  6. Root and Ngampornchai (2012) summarize that no matter how intercultural competence is theorized within intercultural communication, most scholars agree on at least three core assumptions: 1) Intercultural competence should be conceptualized based on cognitive, affective, and behavioral approaches. 2) The end result should be communication that is considered both effective and appropriate. 3) Intercultural competence is culture-general and there are core competencies that individuals can develop that are not specific to any culture.

SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE FOR LABOUR MARKET AND ITS INFLUENCE TO LEARNING AND WORKING PROCESSES This communication reflects the views only of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.

  8. Globalization, a term that has been constantly gaining popularity in the last two decades, primarily means free movement of capital, labor, goods, information and ideas for the sake of exchanging global communication and gaining faster and cheaper geographic mobility.

LLP-LDV-TOI-2013-LT-0145

  9. Main problems occurring in the situations when intercultural competence of the employees is inadequate or insufficiently developed: religious differences; different attitudes towards professional duties, money, the opposite sex; differences about the word-view; differences in the body language; differences in national traditions and the way of life; different behavioral patterns (meals, code of dress, recreational activities); differences in the national character and its manifestations.

  16. On the second level of the model there are two important components: • Knowledge and comprehension: • Cultural self-awareness, which means the ways in which one’s culture have influenced one’s identity and worldview. • Deep understanding and knowledgeof culture (including contexts, role and impact of culture and others’ worldviews). • Culture-specific information. • Sociolinguistic awareness.

  18. On the third level of the model there is the desired internal outcome: • Adaptability to different communication styles and behaviors; adjustment to new cultural environments. • Flexibility by selecting and using appropriate communication styles and behaviors; also cognitive flexibility. • Ethnorelative view. • Empathy.
