Abstract

This article discusses the challenges and benefits of managing language dynamics at work, where both standard and hybrid forms of language coexist. It reviews the literature on language-related misunderstanding and its effects on employee outcomes through three pathways: relational, emotional, and informational. It also suggests some interventions to enhance communication effectiveness and foster an inclusive culture in linguistically diverse workplaces.
