Book excerpt: Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Führung und Personal - Sonstiges, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg (Faculty of Economics and Management), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is therefore to analyse CQ in order to apply this concept to international human resource management (hereafter HRM) practices by discussing theoretical and empirical research on its nature, impacts and implications. The first part of this thesis introduces the concept of CQ by emphasising CQ as a multidimensional construct that is built on Sternberg and Dettermann’s foci of multiple intelligences. Moreover, the concept of CQ will be differentiated from personality traits, other forms of intelligence, such as general mental ability (hereafter IQ) and emotional intelligence (hereafter EI), and other cross-cultural competencies. In order to understand how CQ can be measured the cultural intelligence scale (hereafter CQS), developed by Van Dyne, Ang und Koh, will be explained. In the second part, the question of what actually determines CQ will be answered by examining a nomological framework and the relation between personality and CQ. Moreover, impacts of CQ on interpersonal outcomes will be assessed by analysing existing studies and the influence of CQ on experiential learning will be highlighted. In the third part, implications for theory and practice will be discussed with a special emphasis on international HRM practices. Finally, the results of this thesis will be summarised and a conclusion will be drawn by giving rise to still unanswered questions for future research.
Download or read book Cultural Intelligence in the World of Work written by Yuan Liao and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of both the theoretical development and empirical study of the concept of cultural intelligence. A review of previous work on cross-cultural competence provides an historical backdrop against which the two main theories of cultural intelligence are presented. These two approaches, as well as the assessments derived from them, are compared and evaluated. Issues associated with the measurement of cultural intelligence are examined in detail. An important feature of the review of the empirical work on cultural intelligence is that results are discussed in terms of the relationship of the four sub dimensions of the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) and also that results using the Short Form Cultural Intelligence Scale (SFCQ) and other measures of the concept are included. The review of empirical work includes studies that cast cultural intelligence as an antecedent, as a dependent variable, and as a moderator and a mediator. Cultural intelligence at the group and organizational levels are also discussed. Finally, this review sets the stage for a discussion of appropriate future directions in the study of cultural intelligence. Scholars in organizational psychology interested in the concept of cultural intelligence will find this an essential guide.

It is an invaluable resource that will stimulate and guide future research on this important topic and its application across a broad range of disciplines, including management, organizational behavior, industrial and organizational psychology, intercultural communication, and more.

This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Psychology - Work, Business, Organisational and Economic Psychology, grade: 1,3, University of Flensburg (Internationales Institut für Management und ökonomische Bildung), language: English, abstract: This study is among the first which identified a relationship between CQ and team performance in a business setting, including a moderating role of virtuality. These findings serve to demonstrate that team performance can be enhanced through intercultural trainings corresponding to different factors of CQ, which hence, serve as a possible starting point for improved international cooperation. The trend of technological development and increasing competition within the global economy requires more profound answers to the question of why some people are more effective in intercultural environments than others. Therefore, research about cultural intelligence (CQ), defined as the ability to cope in intercultural settings, has received increasing attention for the last years. The multidimensional construct of CQ, introduced in 2003 by Earley and Ang, analyses CQ from four different angles: Metacognitive CQ focuses on the awareness of other cultures, while cognitive CQ revolves around adaptive cultural standards. Motivational CQ addresses the interest in meeting other cultures. Finally, behavioral CQ refers to the intuitive behavior of people within intercultural interactions. To tighten the gap of knowledge within this field of research this study is aimed at elucidating the relation between the single factors of CQ and team performance, measured on three indicators. Moreover, the moderating effect of virtuality and team identification on this relation should be examined, since international teams are often characterized by a virtual communication and less cohesion. This should give further insights on how to correctly cope with the increasing local flexibility in the business environment.
Download or read book The Impact of Cultural Intelligence on International Task Performance written by Pavlina Bogdanova and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural intelligence is a recently introduced concept which explains the ability of a person to successfully adapt to a new cultural environment. With the increasing number of employees nowadays working in international settings it becomes extremely important to have a way to measure if a person is able to work effectively in an international team. However, so far, there is very limited empirical evidence on this topic. In the present paper I will describe an empirical study I did with international students and managers in order to find if cultural intelligence predicts work performance. The participants were first asked to fill in a questionnaire measuring their cultural intelligence and after that they were asked to solve a business task. Then I asked their colleagues to evaluate their performance on the business project. The results showed that cultural intelligence predicts performance on global working assignment. This means that people who are more culturally intelligent perform better than people who are less culturally intelligent on an international business task

This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of cultural intelligence on the level of job satisfaction and job performance among expatriate teachers working in both not-for-profit and for-profit international schools in Cairo. The importance of this study stems from the fact that globalization have led to tremendous increase in the number of international schools worldwide and in Egypt, thus allowing international schools to provide a greater share of educational services in Egypt, affecting the type and quality of education available to the public. Accordingly, it is essential to ensure that such schools are capable of providing quality education through having satisfied and highly performing expat staff. The results show that there is a significant positive and direct relationship between cultural intelligence and job performance, and that there is a significant positive but indirect relationship between cultural intelligence and job satisfaction among expatriate teachers.
