Abstract

In today's globalized business world, intercultural effectiveness is crucial to a firm's survival. Cultural intelligence, CQ, is a four-dimensional construct that helps one to understand how the individual cultural beliefs and values influence motivations and behaviors (Ang & Van Dyne, 2009). CQ is related to the three aspects of intercultural effectiveness that include cultural judgment and decision making, cultural adaptation, and task performance (Ang et al., 2007). CQ plays an important role in the areas of global leadership (Van Dyne & Ang, 2006), achievement of managers (Rahimi et al., 2011), global strategic alliances, cross-cultural communications, negotiations, multinational teams (Early & Gibson, 2002), culturally diverse domestic teams, overseas work assignments (Bhaskar-Shrinivas, 2005; Lee & Sukco, 2010; Ramalu et al., 2012), global business competencies, and organizational effectiveness in the global marketplace (Creque, 2011). CQ is also relevant in establishing global identity in culturally diverse virtual teams (Adair et al., 2013).
