MANAGEMENT CULTURE AND THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE IN ARAB COUNTRIES: A COMPARATIVE

This thesis explores the cultural and linguistic dimensions of management practices in Arab countries, drawing a comparative perspective with Uzbekistan. Language plays a vital role in shaping leadership, decision-making, and interpersonal communication in organizations. In Arab countries, Arabic serves not only as a tool for communication but also as a cultural code reflecting respect, authority, and hierarchy. In contrast, Uzbekistan’s management culture, influenced by Soviet administrative traditions and Turkic language roots, follows a different approach. By comparing these two contexts, the study highlights how linguistic norms and cultural expectations affect managerial behavior and professional interactions. The thesis aims to provide valuable insights for cross-cultural management and international cooperation.
