Explanation / Answer

1. Among all the given options, Political/legal setting in a country is most likely to influence a society's customs and language. Organizational culture or Team conflict have the capability to influence the society's customs and language up to a certain level and limited to only the employees and not the rest of the society. Also, the personal attributes of an employee are likely to influence the culture and language of a limited set of people only.

One cannot be trained to just understand the culture of another person based on the training given to them on a shorter notice. However, leaders can always make employees aware of another culture by having a clear communication plan in place. Employees should be communicated beliefs that one culture has relating to work first and slowing other things as well.

3. Gender Egalitarianism is the dimension of national culture which tries to look at the extent we seek to minimize or maximize the differences between men and women in different roles. Thus, Option B is the correct answer.
