Abstract: The article aims to explore the impact of a multicultural environment on the decision-making process, both in a positive and negative context, and shed light on the diverse dynamics and challenges that arise when working groups interact with different cultures.

Based on the research and analysis of the features of the multicultural environment, the paper contains conclusions and recommendations for the interested parties on what are the ways to create a productive and effective work environment in organizations characterized by a multicultural work team.
