在许多企业文化中，“团队合作”被视为非常重要的组成部分，优秀的“团队合作”精神也被视为一个好员工必须具备的。而不同的人对于“团队合作”的看法和期望又是由什么决定的呢?

　　一篇文章称，在不同文化生活的人对工作的理解也不一样。例如人们对“团队合作”就有不同的期望。

　　A new article in a special section on Culture and Psychology in Perspectives on Psychological Science, a journal of the Associationfor Psychological Science, explains that people in different cultures think about work in different ways.

　　日前，一篇刊登在美国心理科学联合会的学术期刊《心理科学视角》文化与心理版块的文章称，在不同文化生活的人对工作的理解也不一样。

　　For example, people have different expectations about teamwork, says Cristina B. Gibson, of the University of Western Australia.

　　例如，人们对“团队合作”就有不同的期望，西澳大学教授克里斯蒂娜.B.吉布森说道。

　　Gibson has interviewed people to understand how they conceptualizeteams. “In the US, people used a lot of sports metaphors. Elsewhere, that just wasn't a common metaphor.” In Latin America, for example, many people talked about the work team as a family.
