Book excerpt: This thesis examines the effects of information-based versus experientially-based cross-cultural (C/C) training programs on the adjustment and performance of nurses in a domestic transcultural nursing context. Mediating and moderating constructs were derived from the international C/C management literature and Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1986). Mediating constructs include the nurse's C/C self-efficacy regarding (1) the effective application of her cultural knowledge (hypothesized to mediate the relationship between C/C training rigor & C/C adjustment) and (2) her ability to perform interactive nursing activities with culturally-different patients (hypothesized to mediate the relationship between C/C training rigor & C/C performance). Moderating constructs include perceptual flexibility (i.e., tolerance for the particular kind of ambiguity that is posed by transcultural situations; hypothesized to moderate the relationship between C/C training rigor & each type of C/C self-efficacy), cultural-distance (i.e., between nurses and their patients hypothesized to moderate the relationship between each type of C/C self-efficacy & its corresponding outcome of C/C adjustment or performance), and intensity of interaction (i.e., frequency and breadth of the interactions required by nurses with patients of diverse medical conditions; also hypothesized to moderate the relationship between each type of C/C self-efficacy & its corresponding outcome of C/C adjustment or performance). These relationships were examined via a quasi-experimental cross-sectional design in 9 Toronto hospitals. Subjects (148 staff nurses & their supervisors) completed questionnaires with reliable measures that tapped into the constructs of interest. Self & supervisor performance appraisals were sought. Results partially supported the hypothesized model. Theoretical implications included: (1) the positive effect of C/C training on C/C performance generalizes to a domestic C/C context; (2) the positive effect of C/C training on C/C adjustment does not generalize to an environmentally-turbulent, domestic C/C context; (3) C/C skills may be effectively operationalized in the form of C/C self-efficacy; (4) these two operationalizations of C/C self-efficacy are differentially related to C/C training and performance; (5) prior C/C exposure facilitates transfer of training insofar as the exposure is contextually similar to the work environment; and (6) perceptual flexibility is significantly correlated to C/C adjustment and performance but does not impede learning. The key practical implication is that C/C training can improve nurses' C/C performance.

Book excerpt: Document from the year 2012 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, Humboldt-University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: The number of Western expatriates in China is growing; however, the rate of expatriate failure remains very high. Many multinational enterprises are now providing their expatriates with cross-cultural training (CCT), which many studies suggest is an effective way to improve expatriates’ intercultural competence and their work performance overseas. This study attempts to develop an optimal methodology for CCT in China, based on review of the literature and empirical data of five semi-structured interviews. A seven-step model is developed, and each step is examined for its effectiveness and applicability in a Chinese context. Ultimately, the final model is presented in the Research Summary, and its implications are discussed in detail.

Book excerpt: Military operations increasingly require Army leaders to anticipate the actions of, interact with, and influence individuals and groups whose cultural context differs widely from their own. The Army and other Services have responded by increasing the availability of language and regional training. These efforts develop the knowledge and skills needed to understand and interact with a particular population in a particular location. However, full-spectrum operations demand a broader cultural capability, whereby Army leaders are able to adapt successfully to any cultural setting. Meeting this capability will require the development of culture-general knowledge and skills as a necessary complement to language skills and regional knowledge. This report presents a framework for cross-cultural competence in Army leaders, reviews empirical research on predictors of intercultural effectiveness, and describes existing measures of cross-cultural competence and related constructs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The contemporary operational environment is often characterized by ambiguous, multi-cultural contexts, where Army Soldiers must rapidly adapt without extensive prior knowledge of a region or its people. Ongoing training development efforts are addressing the need for general cross-cultural competence, but this broad competence must be clearly defined and assessed in order to determine if Soldiers are being adequately prepared. To support this goal, this research effort examined how cross-cultural competence develops in Soldiers, and how that competence supports mission success. Using multiple methodologies, including cognitive task analysis, critical incident elicitation, and review of existing models, we developed a model of cross-cultural competence that includes 28 knowledge, skills, attitudes and abilities (KSAAs) over four levels of development. This model will inform the development of metrics to assess Soldiers' cross-cultural competence and provide relevant feedback."--DTIC.
