“…McCroskey (1998, 2013) stated higher scores indicate higher self-perceived communication competence. Croucher et al (2020) also found U.S. students (M = 76.71) were in the moderate range for overall SPCC scores.…”

High school graduates must be College and Career Ready to be successful in their future academic and employment pursuits. Employability skills such as communication, leadership, and critical thinking are in high demand from colleges and employers. High school academic success is an indicator the person has the skills and background necessary for success in further education. We conducted a descriptive study of 2018-2019 high school senior members of the National FFA Organization to provide an updated and focused look into its student membership. The goal was to assess the level of employability skills and academic success retained through high school considering the skills desired by 21st Century employers. Exploring, defining, and understanding the current National FFA student membership’s achievements and interests in career pathways is important to ensure the optimal educational experience for today’s youth. The study occurred in fall 2018 with 2,087 respondents completing the online survey. Respondents reported self-perceived high employability skill levels and above average academic success. This could imply study respondents are College and Career Ready.

“…The scale has a Cronbach's alpha of .85. According to Croucher et al (2020), the SPCC has been used in 50+ published studies since 2000. Croucher et al stated the instrument is highly reliable in measuring selfperceived communication competence, especially in U.S. settings.…”

“…So the current study improves the four-item measure used by Yao and Du-Babcock (2020). SPCC was purported to generate a global SPCC score, but poor construct validity was reported in Croucher et al's (2019) study. Not only verbal but paralinguistic behaviors are incorporated in the items, so our measure expands the scope of past measures.…”

“…Although McCroskey and McCroskey (1988) argued that the self-perceived communication competence (SPCC) scale could be used to generate a global SPCC score, SPCC showed poor evidence of construct validity in Croucher et al's (2019) study with respondents from 12 countries. The verbal and oral communication behaviors included in the SPCC scale are very important aspects of IBC, but they are not sufficient to represent the complex IBC activities.…”

“…In our future research, more Chinese international business practitioners should be involved. According to Croucher et al (2019), the cross-cultural and even the cross-generation validity of a scale should be strongly reconsidered. So, more respondents from other cultural backgrounds deserve our attention to test the scale's intercultural validity.…”

The aim of this article is to develop an Intercultural Business Communication Competence Scale (IBCCS) and provide evidence for the construct, convergent, discriminant, content, criterion, and external validity of the scale. The scale was developed based on 20 key elements of intercultural business communication competence (IBCC) and a review on the scales measuring international business practitioners’ intercultural competence. The three factors extracted with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were the cognitive ability for the intercultural business communication situation, business English linguistic proficiency, and intercultural business communication motivation. The scale showed sound internal consistency and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated sound degree of fitness and stable scale structure. The survey results revealed that respondents’ IBCC significantly correlated with their emotion intelligence (EI) and cultural intelligence (CQ). IBCCS was capable of differentiating the participants with hypothesized high IBCC level and tracking their IBCC development, which documented content validity and external validity of the measure. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the business students’ IBCC appeared to predict their number of foreign friends and job aspiration for an international career.
