Results for Specific Factors of Cultural Intelligence (CQ)
CQ-Strategy and CQ-Behavior predict Task Performance.
Those who have the capability to make sense of inter-cultural experiences (such as making judgments about their own thought processes and those of others) make higher quality decisions and perform at higher levels in multi-cultural work settings.
Those who have the capability to adapt their verbal and nonverbal behavior to fit specific cultural settings have a flexible repertoire of behavioral responses that enhances their task performance in culturally diverse settings.
In sum:
- the higher the CQ-Strategy‚ the higher the performance
- the higher the CQ-Behavior‚ the higher the performance
Those who are interested in experiencing other cultures and feel confident that they can interact with people who have different cultural backgrounds (CQ-Motivation) are better adjusted in culturally diverse situations.
Those who have a broad repertoire of verbal and nonverbal behavioral capabilities (CQ-Behavior) feel better adjusted in situations characterized by cultural diversity.
This pattern of relationships applies to the three types of adjustment:
- General Adjustment
- Work Adjustment
- Interactional Adjustment
In sum:
- the higher the CQ-Motivation‚ the higher the adjustment
- the higher the CQ-Behavior‚ the higher the adjustment
