Turkish-Czech Cultural Standards

The topic of this bachelor's thesis is Turkish-Czech cultural standards, particularly in the context of formal relationships. The objective is to identify key cultural differences between the two cultures and provide practical recommendations for effective intercultural communication between Czechs and Turks. The thesis builds on the theoretical framework of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, Trompenaars’ typology, and Alexander Thomas’ theory. The second part focuses on analyzing historical, geographical, and social factors shaping Turkish culture. The primary research method involved in-depth interviews with twelve Turks living and working in the Czech Republic. The qualitative data were analyzed using Thomas’ cultural standards methodology. The findings are summarized in recommendations for Czech employers and the general public to foster effective communication and collaboration.
