Cultural diversity is more positive for team performance when team members' ________ is high and ________ is low.

A) temporal leadership; taskwork
B) learning orientation; performance avoidance orientation
C) emotional intelligence; overstaffing bias
D) backing-up behavior; value diversity

Research suggests that cultural diversity leads to better team performance when team members have a learning orientation (meaning they are open to learning from others who are different from them) and a low performance avoidance orientation (meaning they are not afraid of making mistakes or looking foolish in front of others). These traits allow team members to effectively navigate and benefit from cultural differences. None of the other answer choices directly relate to these factors.
