Communication problems can arise due to language barriers, different communication styles, and different cultural norms for expressing ideas and opinions. Differentiation can lead to conflicts due to differences in values, beliefs, and attitudes. Both of these sources of conflict are more prevalent in a multicultural workforce, making it more likely for conflicts to occur.
