Introduction A study was carried out at Sharjah International Airport to determine why a new Indian lady had a conflict with one of the workmates at the workplace. The study revealed that the lack of information on their cultural differences was the major cause of the conflict. Organizational Background Sharjah International Airport is located in the United Arab Emirates. It is situated in a strategic location between Dubai and the other Northern Emirates. It was set up in 1932 when it was used as a stopover point. Sharjah is well known for its culture, heritage and tourist attractions. UAE use the Arabic language as the main language. English is also a common language in business. There are also a good number of people who speak Hindu from India because of the many workers who come to the UAE for work (Asiarooms, 2011, p. 1). Indians on the other side use Hindu as their national language. This was because the Hindu language was favored by its association with India’s independence (Daniel, 2000, p. 1). Case Description Communication breakdown arising from traditions often occur when people do not understand well the traditions of others. In the organization in question in this paper, the lady once got into trouble in the course of chatting with a colleague at the workplace. The two were friends who worked in the same office. They were part of the special staff who welcomed the guests as they arrived at the airport. On this particular day, they were taking their lunch after a very busy morning. The lady started talking about her family, her children and her husband. The man, however, did not talk anything to do with his wife and she asked him why he never talked about his family. The Indian lady was concerned that the gentleman had not yet married at the age of 35 and did not seem to be in a hurry. She decided to enquire from the man why he was not getting married. The Arab man replied politely and said it was because of dowry. The Indian lady had so far viewed her colleague respectfully and could not understand why he had this attitude. The lady replied in a question form; do you not think that is being greedy? This made the man feel so upset and stopped talking with the Indian lady for a while because the question offended him. Dimensions of Culture India and AUE have close results of PDI, IDV, and MAS. The difference comes in their UAE and LTO. UAE and India have a high power distance of 81 and 78 respectively (Hofstede’s, n. d, p. 1). This means that in both cultures there is a disproportionate distribution of power. Those at the highest rank are wealthy and highly respected. This is why the Arabic man could not afford to pay dowry. Individualism is low in both countries meaning that the two cultures value group work and most decisions are made from higher authorities. Marrying to the gentleman is not a personal decision but it is a decision made by the family. The masculinity of India and UAE are also close ranging from 53-56. This means that there is a relatively higher number of men compared to women in workplaces. However, UAE working conditions are characterized by stringent laws, regulations, and procedures. This makes UAE have a higher uncertainty avoidance index (UAI) than India where there are f
