ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a theoretical framework of the modes of acculturation that minorities and immigrants use in adjusting to the cultures of organizations located in the United States (US) Muslims living and working in the US were selected to investigate this framework. Respondents' patterns of acculturation are categorized according to J. W. Berry's modes of acculturation. Some of the Muslim respondents reported that they were unwilling to accept US organizational cultures, but willing to retain their original organizational cultures. The most common mode of acculturation to US organizational cultures reported by the Muslim subjects was deculturation. The Muslim subjects' level of education was related to their willingness to accept US national and organizational cultures and/or to retain their original organizational cultures. The findings of the present study revealed that gender relates very strongly to Muslims' chosen of modes of acculturation to the US national culture and indirectly to their modes of acculturation they selected for adjusting to US organizational cultures.
