Language proficiency and cultural intelligence
Research on language proficiency and cultural intelligence (CQ) has developed somewhat independently, resulting in a partial understanding of the personal resources required to facilitate job performance and adaptation in a foreign culture. Our meta‐analysis synthesizes the two constructs by drawing on the overt‐covert model of culture and the conservation of resources (COR) theory. Specifically, we propose that language proficiency and CQ comple…
Stability and plasticity in personality
This meta‐analysis clarifies and tests the structural relationships among the Big Five personality traits, cultural intelligence (CQ), and an expanded criterion domain of job performance. Positioning CQ in the nomological network of personality traits is timely because research has demonstrated that CQ predicts a range of work‐related outcomes in today's multicultural workplace. Drawing on the Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T), we conduct a meta‐…
IT Professionals and the IT Profession
The context for IT work is changing. New technologies, the trend toward global delivery of IT products and services, the increasing use of social media for work, and the gamification of work have widened job roles in the IT profession. This article expands the traditional list of IT job roles (e.g., chief information officer and systems analyst) by identifying emerging IT job roles (e.g., social media specialist and 3D modeler) directly influence…
Cultural Intelligence and Competencies
Intercultural Competence
We review recent theoretical and empirical developments in the intercultural competencies literature, highlighting contemporary models and empirical research in organizational contexts. We survey the current conceptualizations of intercultural competencies and propose that intercultural competencies can be classified based on traits, attitudes and worldviews, capabilities, or a combination of these dimensions. We identify key psychological, behav…
Taking the bite out of culture
Research on the effect of cultural diversity on team performance remains inconclusive. We propose to resolve the competing predictions of the information/decision making versus the social categorization theories by integrating two task‐related theories, the situational strength theory and the circumplex model of group tasks. We propose that high task specificity enables similar interpretations and shared understanding among team members, which is…
Leader–member exchange (LMX) and culture
Sub‐Dimensions of the Four Factor Model of Cultural Intelligence
Cultural intelligence (CQ) – the capability to function effectively in intercultural settings – has gained increasing attention from researchers and practitioners due to its contemporary relevance to globalization, international management, and workforce diversification. Research‐to‐date demonstrates that CQ predicts a variety of important outcomes in intercultural contexts, such as cultural adaptation, expatriate performance, global leadership, …
Differences Between Tight and Loose Cultures
The differences across cultures in the enforcement of conformity may reflect their specific histories.
Beyond General Intelligence (IQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Emphasizing the importance of cross‐border effectiveness in the contemporary globalized world, we propose that cultural intelligence—the leadership capability to manage effectively in culturally diverse settings—is a critical leadership competency for those with cross‐border responsibilities. We tested this hypothesis with multisource data, including multiple intelligences, in a sample of 126 Swiss military officers with both domestic and cross‐b…
Cultural Intelligence
We enhance the theoretical precision of cultural intelligence (CQ: capability to function effectively in culturally diverse settings) by developing and testing a model that posits differential relationships between the four CQ, dimensions (metacognitive, cognitive, motivational and behavioural) and three intercultural effectiveness outcomes (cultural judgment and decision making, cultural adaptation and task performance in culturally diverse sett…
Personality Correlates of the Four-Factor Model of Cultural Intelligence
We examine relationships between Big Five personality and the four-factor model of cultural intelligence (CQ)—metacognitive CQ, cognitive CQ, motivational CQ, and behavioral CQ. Hierarchical regression analyses conducted on data from 338 business undergraduates—after controlling for age, gender, and years of experience in interacting with people from other cultures—show significant links between (a) conscientiousness and metacognitive CQ; (b) agr…
Cultural Intelligence
In a global market where international teams, initiatives, and joint ventures are increasingly common, it is extremely important for people to integrate themselves quickly in new cultures. Effective strategies for selecting and training people on global perspectives are critical for managing businesses. Current theories in management and psychology do not provide adequate frameworks to explain the successes or failures of people working and manag…
The employment relationships of foreign workers versus local employees
Foreign workers seek overseas employment without sponsorship from a firm in their home country and hold temporary work visas in the host country. Despite the rising numbers of foreign workers, there is very little research that examines employment relationships and work behaviors of foreign workers. In this study, we draw on social exchange theory and predict differences in work perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of foreign versus local employ…
