The knowledge of host-country nationals who work in the foreign subsidiaries of multinationals is a crucial strategic resource for their employers. This study explored the role that cultural intelligence plays in employees' knowledge sharing within a cross-cultural workplace context. Building on social identity theory, this study developed a theoretical framework to explore how host-country nationals' cultural intelligence could enhance their knowledge sharing via increasing their social identity, and further investigated the mediating role of host-country nationals' relationships with expatriates and identification with their organization. Using survey data from 412 host-country nationals working for 16 foreign subsidiaries in South Korea, I found that cultural intelligence directly predicted knowledge sharing. The results support and extend the extant literature and provide practical implications for multinationals regarding the management of host-country nationals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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‐analytic investigation (n = 24,552; k = 109) of the metatraits of stability (shared variance of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and emotional stability) and plasticity (shared variance of extraversion and openness) on CQ and five job performance outcomes (task performance, affiliative citizenship performance, change‐oriented citizenship performance, adaptive performance, and creative performance). Our findings show that CQ is a stronger mediator of the plasticity metatrait (than stability) on job performance, supporting our hypotheses. We also discover intriguing suppressor effects, suggesting that the importance of the plasticity metatrait on job performance could be underestimated in existing Big Five meta‐analyses.

This study aims to investigate the predictive role of cultural intelligence, motivation to teach, and "culturally responsive classroom management self‐efficacy" (CRCMSE) in teachers' sense of efficacy. The study utilized a combination of "structural equation modeling" (SEM), deep learning, and "artificial neural network" (ANN) to analyze data collected from 1061 preservice teachers. The SEM analysis indicated that cultural intelligence, motivation to teach, and CRCMSE significantly predicted the sense of efficacy of the teacher candidates, accounting for 59% of the variance. Additionally, the ANN model accurately predicted the teachers' sense of efficacy with 75.71% and 75.17% accuracy for training and testing, respectively. The sensitivity analysis revealed that CRCMSE played the most crucial role in predicting the preservice teachers' sense of efficacy. The deep learning model also predicted the sense of efficacy with an overall accuracy of 74.18%. The utilization of a multimodal analysis approach facilitated the identification of both linear and nonlinear relationships between the constructs. Practitioner points: This study investigated the predictive role of cultural intelligence, motivation to teach, and CRCMSE in teachers' sense of efficacy.The study employed a combination of SEM, deep learning, and ANN to analyze the data.The multimodal analysis facilitated the identification of both linear and nonlinear relationships.

Existent research on intercultural exposure and cultural intelligence has been largely conducted in management and management education, the latter with business student subjects. Aiming to attain a more holistic view in this regard, we attend to a civic-related outcome, namely, the emergence of (cosmopolitan-based) global citizenship attitudes, which can be regarded as a socio-political pre-condition for membership in an inclusive global world. We examined a mediation model among Israeli late-adolescents in which cultural intelligence reflects a causal mechanism in which intercultural exposure affects global citizenship attitudes. The survey included a sample of 954 affluent Israeli-Jewish late adolescents attending 12 high schools. Hypotheses were tested with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings concerning the measurement models of the multifaceted constructs (i.e., intercultural exposure, cultural intelligence, and global citizenship attitudes) pointed to a good fit; hence were validated. Moreover, the study findings supported a full mediation model, augmenting the accumulated evidence on cultural intelligence's significant role in developing a wide range of multicultural perspectives.

As global business and education environments become increasingly cross-cultural, prolonged stress faced by individuals navigating unfamiliar territories can lead to symptoms of burnout. This study explores the relationship between expatriate stress and Cultural Intelligence, considering moderating factors such as age, motivation, length of experience, and age group. A comprehensive survey was administered to over 300 expatriates —individuals who engaged in international experiences of at least three months for work- or study-related reasons— of 40 different countries worldwide, encompassing diverse age groups, motivations, and duration of stay. Validated scales assessed expatriate stress levels and Cultural Intelligence scores. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted on the collected data. Findings reveal a significant negative correlation between Cultural Intelligence and expatriate stress, suggesting that individuals with higher Cultural Intelligence experience lower stress during international experiences. Motivation, length of stay abroad, and age did not yield statistically significant stress level differences, highlighting Cultural Intelligence's importance as a mitigating factor. By emphasizing the link between Cultural Intelligence and reduced expatriate stress, this study underscores the need for intercultural training and interventions in preparation for (or during) this experience. The study also provides HR training and approach recommendations to improve on these CQ levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AbstractThis study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of consumer purchase (CPI) intention in the fast-food industry by examining the roles of cultural intelligence (CQ), perceived brand globalness (PBG), and consumer ethnocentrism (CET). An empirical survey was conducted among 290 Jordanian fast-food consumers. The findings underscore that CQ significantly impacts CPI by influencing consumers’ attitudes and perceptions toward fast-food brands. Additionally, the results indicate a positive mediating role of PBG and a negative moderating role of CET in this relationship. These results have significant implications for fast-food companies looking to better customize tactics to cater to a diverse customer base. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artificial intelligence has inspired a significant number of studies on the interface between cultural heritage and photography. The aims of these studies are, among others, to streamline damage monitoring or diagnoses for heritage preservation, enhance the production of high-fidelity 3D models of cultural assets, or improve the analysis of heritage images using computer vision. This article presents the results of a systematic literature review to highlight the recent state of these studies, published in the last five years and available in the Scopus, Web of Science, and JSTOR databases. The aim is to identify the potential and challenges of artificial intelligence through the connection between cultural heritage and photography, the latter of which represents a relevant methodological aspect in these investigations. In addition to the advances exemplified, the vast majority of studies indicate that there are also many obstacles to overcome. In particular, there is a need to improve artificial intelligence methods that still have significant flaws. These include inaccuracy in the automatic classification of images and limitations in the applications of the results. This article also aims to reflect on the meaning of these innovations when considering the direction of the relationship between cultural heritage and photography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Individuals' desire to live in different nations to improve their living standards grows as globalization accelerates and countries' environmental conditions change. Even though people have a strong desire to do so, it is extremely difficult to adapt to a new culture. There are numerous factors that influence people's crosscultural adaptability. The concept of cultural intelligence, which plays an important role in helping individuals understand individuals from different cultures and behave appropriately in that culture, is the most important of these factors. Cultural intelligence analysis can help individuals overcome or avoid these challenges. Individuals' personalities, in addition to cultural intelligence, are considered as another factor that has a significant impact on the results. The analysis of personality structures can reveal whether or not they can adapt to different cultures. The purpose of this study is to investigate the concepts of cross-cultural adaptability, cultural intelligence, and personality in the context of Business Administration graduate students' intentions to live abroad and to determine the extent to which these three concepts are related.

Objective: This study aims to model the relationship between parent-child interaction and perceived social support with moral behavior, mediated by cultural intelligence, in adolescent female students in Tehran. Methods and Materials: The research method is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study includes all female high school students aged 12 to 16, with a total number of students in the academic year 2022-2023. Four hundred students were selected as the sample using cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Moral Behavior Questionnaire by Sabat and colleagues, the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire by Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, and Farley (1988), and the Cultural Intelligence Questionnaire by Ang and Earley (2004). Data analysis was performed using SPSS.22 and Smart PLS software, employing descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, standard deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression, and structural equation modeling. Findings: The research results showed that the model explaining the parent-child interaction, perceived social support, and moral behavior with the mediation of cultural intelligence has a good fit. The results indicated that parent-child interaction has a direct effect on moral behavior (P<0.01). It was also found that perceived social support has a direct effect on moral behavior (P<0.01). Conclusion: The results confirmed that parent-child interaction does not affect moral behavior through the mediating role of cultural intelligence. Finally, other findings showed that perceived social support indirectly affects moral behavior through the mediating role of cultural intelligence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Globalization has led to an increase in cultural diversity in the software business, meaning that workers need to be culturally intelligent (CQ) to communicate with coworkers from various backgrounds and successfully navigate various organizational cultures. However, there is a lack of research on the influence of CQ on work adjustment among Indian software professionals working in culturally different states. Additionally, the relationship between CQ, job characteristics, and work adjustment remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of CQ on job satisfaction and performance and identify areas for improvement in creating equitable and multicultural work environments. The findings will contribute to enhancing employees' cultural intelligence and promoting better work adjustment in the context of increasing cultural diversity and globalization. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which cultural intelligence can enhance work adjustment by exploring its impact on employees' job satisfaction and job performance. The study's ultimate sample size of 485 respondents was obtained using standardized instruments in a quantitative and cross-sectional methodology. Google Forms software was utilized to distribute the questionnaires online. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into effective strategies for enhancing employees' cultural intelligence and promoting better work adjustment in the context of globalization and increasing cultural diversity in the workplace.

This research explores the selection process for multicultural competence training programs to equip project managers for cross-cultural projects. Guided by theoretical frameworks, including Bennett’s Developmental Model, Sue’s Multidimensional Model, Hofstede and Minkov’s Cultural Dimensions Model, Helmreich and Merritt’s Cultural Intelligence Framework, and Henrie and Sousa’s Cultural Competence Model, the study examines intercultural sensitivity, multidimensional cultural competence, cultural dimensions, cultural intelligence, and the dynamic nature of cultural competence.

Cultural intelligence (CQ) which refers to the level of an individual can adapt to new cultural settings has been researched as the level of CQ affects people in the process of integrating into a new cultural environment. CQ consists of four dimensions: Metacognitive CQ, Cognitive CQ, Motivational CQ, and Behavioral CQ. This study was conducted to understand the CQ level of English-majored students at The University of Danang - University of Foreign Language Studies (UD-UFLS). The research applied mixed methods with the semi-structured interview and the questionnaire as instruments. The data reveals that UFLS students generally had a good level of CQ though they have to confront some challenges such as language barriers, and culture shocks. It is recommended that students should be equipped with some basic language of the country where they have internship, and with cultural knowledge to avoid culture shocks.

This paper explores the notion of strategic intelligence, namely with respect to leadership and business-oriented areas. Strategic intelligence is a researched concept that primarily concerns the collection and analysis of intelligence for policy and military planning, mainly at national and international levels, whereas this study of management and organizational decision-making application is an extension of that. This article’s subject is the necessity for strategic intelligence, a crucial competence for leaders, managers, and companies striving to remain competitive, to be utilized and best leveraged in today’s volatile and dynamic business contexts. This study follows a research design that includes a thorough literature review and bibliometric research, executed via VoSViewer, illustrating the concept of strategic intelligence from a leadership point of view as a driver of competitive advantage, enhanced by knowledge dynamics. Furthermore, this article points out that the limitations are acknowledged because the literature on the matter is limited, as strategic intelligence is relatively new to the business sector; moreover, more research is required to fully understand and use the potential of strategic intelligence in business growth. Overcoming these limitations and continuing to study the strategic intelligence concept could, on the one hand, use multiple platforms, such as scholarly articles or encyclopedias, and, on the other hand, support businesses in gaining a competitive edge and making informed decisions that can fuel their success in an ever-evolving market.

With the impact of globalization in the field of education as in every area, the tendency of individuals to prefer other countries and cultures for education has increased. Individuals who move to different cultural environments for educational purposes face different cultural challenges. In this regard, cultural intelligence (CI) emerges, which contributes to managing cultural differences in the best way, using them in the most appropriate way for the benefit of individuals and organizations, and exhibiting appropriate behaviors in different cultural environments. This study aims to determine the effect of five-factor personality traits (FFPT) on the cultural intelligence (CI) of international university students through an experimental research design. Further, the effect of five factor personality trait dimensions on cultural intelligence was examined. Valid responses were obtained from 585 international students continuing their education in different faculties and departments of Mardin Artuklu University. The data were analyzed with the structural equation modelling (SEM) AMOS package program. Result of the analysis, it was seen that FFPT have a positive and significant effect on CI. In addition, positive significant effects of the FFPT dimensions (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and neuroticism) on the dimensions of CI (cognitive, meta-cognitive, behavioral, and motivational) were observed.

Abstract HRM is forced to adapt and reinvent its practices towards more innovative and creative frameworks and models, due to the impetus technological developments in the modern business environment. The same applies to the elements of the organizational culture and corporate structure, which are decisive for the success of such initiatives. To undergo the shift to digital transformation, there is a need for human resource development professionals to invest in advanced competencies and capabilities. The scope of this paper is to examine the concept of digital innovation and HRM digitalization in the shipping industry and their relationship with corporate culture, intelligence, and leadership. Data were collected via a survey conducted in Greek shipping companies, and personal interviews with maritime professionals. Findings show that organizational culture and cultural intelligence are significant factors for digital innovation. Digital culture and digital leadership are proving to be important components in achieving this, whereas organizational cultural intelligence has a major impact on e-HRM. The present research contributes at both academic and policy level. In the former case is assists in bridging the gap in the maritime literature by examining digital innovation and e-HRM practices in the shipping industry along with the required skills for their development or enhancement. In the latter case the paper assists in the documentation of challenges maritime companies face in relation to digitalization practices and how policy makers can assist in their adoption.

In the globalization trend, China's cultural heritage is in danger of gradually disappearing. The protection and inheritance of these precious cultural resources has become a critical task. This paper focuses on the Miao batik culture in Guizhou Province, China, and explores the application of knowledge graphs, natural language processing, and deep learning techniques in the promotion and protection of batik culture. We propose a dual-channel mechanism that integrates semantic and visual information, aiming to connect batik pattern features with cultural connotations. First, we use natural language processing techniques to automatically extract batik-related entities and relationships from the literature, and construct and visualize a structured batik pattern knowledge graph. Based on this knowledge graph, users can textually search and understand the images, meanings, taboos, and other cultural information of specific patterns. Second, for the batik pattern classification, we propose an improved ResNet34 model. By embedding average pooling and convolutional operations into the residual blocks and introducing long-range residual connections, the classification performance is enhanced. By inputting pattern images into this model, their categories can be accurately identified, and then the underlying cultural connotations can be understood. Experimental results show that our model outperforms other mainstream models in evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, achieving 94.46%, 94.47%, 93.62%, and 93.8%, respectively. This research provides new ideas for the digital protection of batik culture and demonstrates the great potential of artificial intelligence technology in cultural heritage protection.

Aim. The aim of the study was to analyse the level of cultural intelligence and multicultural personality profile of novice nurses in Poland in the context of the increase of migration and refugee crises. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study of 234 novice nurses working in clinical, district or city hospitals was conducted. The Polish version of the Cultural Intelligence Scale and the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire were used. Statistica™ 13.3 software was used for analysis. Results. The results indicate a moderate level of cultural intelligence and diversity in the levels of intensity of the multicultural personality traits. The highest levels were found in cultural empathy. A positive correlation was found between cultural intelligence and multicultural personality. The global dimension of cultural intelligence and its four domains were found to be related to three multicultural personality traits – cultural sensitivity, social initiative and open-mindedness. Conclusions. The study highlights the importance of cultural competence in healthcare and the need to strengthen it among novice nurses, especially amidst contemporary social changes and challenges associated with migration. The implementation of systematic training programmes aimed at increasing cultural competence among nurses is recommended to enhance and develop these skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research article tackles the concept of intercultural intelligence in translation based on a case study, that is the translation of García Lorca's play Bodas de sangre (Blood wedding) from Spanish to French. This article aims to analyze the cultural references present in Lorca's play (source text) and the way in which they have been translated into the French version Noces de sang (target text). The article further proposes a definition of "intercultural intelligence" in a broad sense and in relation to translation studies, redefines the concept of cultural reference in translation studies, categorizes the cultural references of the source text, and examines the translation process in which the translators recreated the cultural references of the source text in the target text.

This research was conducted to determine nurses' cultural intelligence, communication skills, and related factors. The research, which had a cross-sectional and correlation-seeking design, was conducted between May and August 2023 with 410 nurses volunteering to participate in the study at a hospital. The data was collected online with the Google Form application, which consists of three parts: "Introductory Information Form, Cultural Intelligence Scale, and Communication Skills Scale". Path analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CIS) and Communication Skills Scale (CSS). In this study, it was determined that there was a moderately strong and positive relationship between cultural intelligence and communication skills. Gender, education level, and age were found to be important factors affecting cultural intelligence. These factors explained 28.2% of the variation in cultural intelligence scores. It was concluded that receiving training on cultural practices in nurses increases the level of communication skills, gender is an effective factor in cultural intelligence, increasing the level of education increases the level of cultural intelligence, and nurses with high communication skills have higher levels of cultural intelligence.

Purpose -- This study examines the dynamics of cultural intelligence (CQ) on the tripartite tourism development impacts (TDI) in the economic, social and environmental domains and how it influences residents' perceptions of tourism development. Methodology/Design/Approach -- Using a quantitative cross-sectional research design and random sampling, three hundred and forty-one (341) responses were analysed using partial least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings -- The study confirms that the TDI dimensions (economic and social) have a positive influence on CQ, while environmental impact is an insignificant determinant. CQ also significantly mediates the relationship between TDI (economic and social impact) and SFTD. Similar to the insignificant direct effect, CQ does not mediate the relationship between environmental impact and SFTD. Originality of the research -- This finding suggests that cultural intelligence plays a crucial role in shaping community attitudes and receptivity to future tourism development projects. Furthermore, the result of this study emphasises the uniqueness of the influence of the different TDI dimensions on community support and the urgency of addressing economic and social concerns in tourism development.

Ethnocentric conduct among employees is observed in multicultural work environments characterised by the presence of individuals from diverse origins. The existence of ethnocentrism inside the workplace has been observed to have repercussions for colleagues. Nevertheless, despite the significance of the aforementioned factors, there hasn't been a considerable pertinent scholarly study on how these aspects affect the localisation of human resources. This research closes the gap in the literature by integrating ethnocentrism and human resource localisation variables. We used Andrew F. Hayes PROCESS V4.0 to assess the hypothesised relationship between employees' ethnocentric behaviour and human resource localisation success. In addition, employee knowledgesharing tendency works as a mediator, and employee cultural intelligence (CQ) is a moderated mediator. From the analysis of 361 respondents from multinational Company (MNC) workers, we found that ethnocentric behaviour reduces employee knowledge-sharing tendency among workers and, in return, reduces human resource localisation success. However, CQ moderates the mediated relationship between employee knowledgesharing direction and localisation success. We also found that when employees have high CQ, the negative effect of ethnocentrism on localisation success weakens. Managers of multicultural organisations should reduce ethnocentrism to ensure the success of human resource localisation. MNCs can consider employing culturally intelligent individuals and giving them sensitivity training. Future research can integrate other variables, such as the firm's cultural characteristics, to continue this research domain. Further research can also consider collecting data from nations with high cultural distances; comparative studies between two countries are also encouraged. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to account for the phenomenon where cultural productions are able to transcend different chronotopes and masquerade in myriad forms while sustaining an illusion of itself as a text. Using the Barthian distinction between work and Text as its framework, the article argues that multimodal semiotics offers a theoretically viable perspective on the global circulation of cultural artifacts by way of the concepts of memes, distribution, resemiotization, and assemblage. The central argument is this: what we call a text in common parlance is in fact a node within a networked assemblage of individually constituted works loosely connected through a substrate recognizability of memes. Operating at the level of this network is the Barthian Text that is always in‐progress and can never really be completed. The article concludes by proposing that with the imminence of Web 5.0 and in light of the ever‐pervasive influence of artificial intelligence in cultural production, it is imperative that we adopt nonlinear thinking to understand the shifting semioscapes in digital space and their impact on contemporary textuality.

The purpose of this study is to examine ethnic minority groups' understanding of Korean culture through cultural intelligence (CQ), and its effects on perceived value and satisfaction of their Korean restaurant experiences. Data were collected from 232 people, ethnic minority groups who live in Korea with their original nationality. This study discovered that ethnic minority groups with higher cultural intelligence had higher service excellence, economic, and emotional value. The escapist, service excellence, economic, and emotional variables in perceived value had significant results, as the values were positive, customer satisfaction were positive. Among moderating effects of gender, nationality, and residential period, only gender and residential period were partially supported. The residential period of ethnic minority groups illustrated that respondents who had longer experience in Korea, had higher level of CQ. This study aims to provide fundamental information on ethnic minority groups, cultural intelligence and their values when visiting Korean restaurants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Extant research has established knowledge hiding as one of the potential barriers to positive individual and organisational performance. This study aims to expand the empirical research on knowledge hiding by studying its manifestation in a multicultural context, where intercultural differences can further aggravate knowledge hiding. We investigate the relationship between organisational justice and knowledge hiding behaviour through the underlying mechanism of distrust. Furthermore, cultural differences can impact the perceptions of justice creating distrust, which in turn can lead to undesirable employee behaviours such as knowledge hiding. We also examine the moderating role of cultural intelligence (CQ) as an effective mechanism to mitigate the organisational justice-knowledge hiding relationship. The findings of this research revealed a negative relationship between organisational justice and knowledge hiding. In addition, distrust partially mediated the relationship between organisational justice and knowledge hiding. The results also indicated the moderating effect of CQ on the organisational justice-knowledge hiding relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The search for cultural expertise capable of laying bare cultural biases that impede equable interaction in cross and multicultural workspaces has yielded theories such as cultural humility, cultural intelligence, cultural competence, and cultural reflexivity. These theories propose new ways of interaction in groups outside our origin cultures, where culturally institutionalized banalities resulting from our origin culture can be reduced in cross and multicultural settings. This study examines the use of pride in reinforcing culture and its impact on employee relationships in multicultural workspaces. It distinguishes between authentic and hubristic pride and highlights that cultural differences can pose a challenge. To conduct cultural research, pride needs constant review as it is a universal neurocomputational program designed to orchestrate cognition, physiology, and behavior. This inevitable challenge drives the need for competencies in cultural humility, competence, and reflexivity to taper situations of cultural diversity where ideas are contrary. We propose the development of global tribal village workspace communication, holding a more expansive room for valuation with a focus on respect for the sensibilities of others and eschewing quick judgments that bring about incidences of disharmony.

Cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence have gained substantial attention as integral components of the intercultural adaptation process. Despite their significance, there exists a research gap in examining the specific levels of these competencies within homogeneous cohorts of international students. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to address this gap by assessing the levels of cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence among Asian international students enrolled in Chinese universities and their associated with sociodemographic variables. The study comprised 228 student participants. Participants completed self-report questionnaires measuring their cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence. The findings reveal that a significant proportion of Asian international students exhibit moderate to high levels of both cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence. Additionally, the research highlights a positive correlation between cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence. Among sociodemographic variables, prior travel experiences and international students' friendships with local students displayed significant relationships with their cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence. However, gender, age, and educational level were not significantly related to cultural and emotional intelligence competencies. The study might offer valuable insights into the extensive body of cross-cultural literature on international students and can also serve as a practical guide for university communities seeking to implement measures that enhance the cultural and emotional intelligence of international students.

The present research was targeted toward examining the relationship between cultural intelligence (CQ), emo-sensory intelligence (ESQ), language learning strategies (LLS), and students' language achievement (LA). A number of 300 EFL Iraqi students studying at the English Language Department of ALQadisiyah University, Iraq was selected through convenience sampling. The participants filled out the cultural intelligence questionnaire, emo-sensory intelligence scale, and the language learning strategy inventory. Students' final scores were used as a means through which their language achievement could be gauged. The data were analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. The findings indicated a significant relationship between ESQ, CQ, learning strategies, and students' language achievement. In addition, it was found that CQ and language learners' strategy could directly predict the language achievement of Iraqi EFL learners. ESQ, could only predict language learners' achievement through the mediation of language learning strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we study modules that satisfy the double infinite chain condition on uncountably generated submodules, briey called u:c:g: DICC modules. We show that if a quotient finite dimensional module M satisfies the double infinite chain condition on uncountably generated submodules, then it has Krull dimension. We study submodules N of a module M such that whenever M/N satisfies the double infinite chain condition so does M. Moreover, we observe that an α-atomic module, where α > ω1 is an ordinal number, satisfies the previous chain condition if and only if it satisfies the descending chain condition on uncountably generated submodules.

This article provides an overview of the Global Leadership course, a 6-credit course integrated within the curriculum of all advanced master programs of Antwerp Management School and designed to align with the school's overarching mission. The course challenges and facilitates students in developing their leadership as a basis for making career choices, explicitly framing it within a global perspective and focusing on sustainability. The course is built on the belief that career development should not occur in isolation. Rather, it should be interwoven within the societal context in which careers unfold, bringing opportunities and challenges. Concretely, students work in diverse cross-program groups on an Action Learning Project addressing one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Further, students follow a track within their program focused on personal development, culminating in the submission of a Personal Development Paper in which they integrate all course experiences as a basis for developing a vision of their career. Through this holistic approach, students develop career competencies beyond considering the "why, what, and how" of work but are stimulated to consider the broader societal context.

Orientation: Workplace diversity and intercultural interaction are undisputed realities in the new world of work. This is especially true for casual dining restaurants that are labour intensive and customer-oriented, catering for culturally diverse patrons. Research purpose: The study investigated the impact of perceived metacognitive cultural intelligence of service staff on the service delivery experiences of customers at casual dining restaurants. Motivation for the study: There is a dearth of research that explores the cultural intelligence of hospitality service staff in the South African context. Research approach/design and method: A structured questionnaire was administered to a sample of 403 customers at casual dining restaurants in Bloemfontein, using QuestionPro. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to examine the relationships between the variables. Main findings: Statistically significant negative relationships were recorded between metacognitive cultural intelligence and all the service delivery constructs. Metacognitive cultural intelligence was found to have a medium predictive power towards responsiveness and assurance as part of the service delivery construct. Practical/managerial implications: Due to the complexity of the cultural intelligence construct, the study only focused on metacognitive cultural intelligence and its impact on the service delivery experiences of casual dining patrons. The findings showed service staff lacked metacognitive cultural intelligence, hence affecting all the areas of service delivery. There is thus a persistent need for training and developing intercultural competencies. Contribution/value-add: Despite current emphasis on diversity management and cultural intelligence, the findings of the study revealed that service staff are not adequately prepared for intercultural interactions.

The continuing internationalization of business education offers MBA students a unique cross-cultural environment in which to develop their business acumen. This pluralistic context can produce uncertainty regarding appropriate ethical norms among the cohort, and uncertainty in how students react to peers who are perceived to violate ethical norms. In this paper, we explore the violation of ethical norms through peer reactions to academic cheating and examine the effects of peer ostracization on perceived cheaters' overall academic performance. We further explore how cultural intelligence may help cheaters avoid their peers' social sanctions. In a three-part longitudinal study of an international MBA cohort, we predict and find that cheating leads to diminished academic performance, mediated by a reduction in friendship ties. Moreover, we find that cultural intelligence moderates the loss of friendship ties, attenuating the negative effect of reduced friendship ties on performance. In general, our findings suggest that peers can apply effective social sanctions to those they perceive as violating social norms, but that the impact of such sanctions may be lessened by the deviant individuals' cultural intelligence.
