“…Research to date using CQS has been both strong and encouraging (Kang et al , 2019; Townsend et al , 2015; Collins et al , 2016; Schlägel and Sarstedt, 2016). A recent meta-analysis (Rockstuhl and Van Dyne, 2018) highlighted the predictive power of CQ and demonstrated the incremental validity and the value of the four factors, above and beyond latent CQ.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report results of testing and validation of the cultural intelligence (CQ) Scale in a new location, the culturally diverse United Arab Emirates (UAE) and in a new sector: public and private school leaders. Design/methodology/approach This study surveys 167 school leaders from public and private schools in the UAE using the 20-item version of the CQ Scale, which uses a seven-point Likert response scale of strongly agree to strongly disagree. An examination of the dimensionality of the 20 items was conducted using both principal components analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Demographics were also gathered. Findings Results from testing and validation of the scale indicated a high level of CQ among school leaders in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. An examination of the dimensionality of the 20 items showed them to fall into the same structure of four sub-components as conceptually conceived: knowledge, strategy, motivation and behaviour. The mean scores for the four components of CQ in this study indicate high CQ amongst Abu Dhabi school leaders, although the knowledge dimension measured slightly lower. The results confirm previous research that found CQ to be higher in culturally diverse settings, which, according to socio-demographic details gathered in the study applies to the UAE. Originality/value This is the first known study to test the Cultural Intelligence Scale in UAE schools. It answers the call from the CQ Scale developers to validate the scale in diverse contexts.

“…Lillis and Tian (2009) also concluded that business students with high levels of EI were in a better position to recognize context-based emotion patterns and adapt to intercultural contexts, compared to those with low levels of EI. Similarly, Townsend et al (2015) revealed that high EI among international business students is a major contributor to developing cross-cultural capability.…”

Enhancing International Buyer-Seller Relationship Quality and Long-Term Orientation Using Emotional Intelligence: The Moderating Role of Foreign Culture

et al. 2021

Building on Emotion Regulation Theory, we examine the role of an exporter's emotional intelligence (EI) in enhancing the quality and boosting the long-term orientation of the working relationship with its import buyers. Using data gathered from 262 Greek exporters, we confirm that the proper use of EI helps to improve trust, commitment, cooperation, and satisfaction in the relationship with their importers, which subsequently contribute to its long-term orientation. This favorable effect of EI on relationship quality dimensions is amplified when exporters deal with importers located in countries with cultures characterized by low power distance, low individualism, low masculinity, high uncertainty avoidance, and high (national) longterm orientation.

Charitable Giving to Distant Others: An extended theory of planned behaviour model

Asking the question why consumers make the choices they do when it comes to charitable giving has interested a diverse group of research scholars from a wide variety of disciplines. While a broad body of literature on charitable giving exists, less research has focused on why donors give internationally or to "distant others".This dissertation attempts to answer the following overarching research questions: Why do charitable donors support distant others? How do they decide whom to support?A mixed methods approach is used in two main studies.The first is an exploratory study of Canadian charitable donor behaviour on Kiva.org. Results showed that donors lend on Kiva because of the difference they are making in someone's life and because they have the ability to demonstrate caring.There was a strong, positive correlation between the popularity of loans by country between the Kiva Global data and the Canadian data. However, a more detailed examination revealed possible socio-political and cultural ties between lenders andborrowers.An extended model of the theory of planned behaviour for charitable giving to distant others is then proposed that includes five new constructs to the charitable giving and donor behaviour literature: belief in a just world, justice restoration efficacy, psychic distance, ethnic identity and cultural exposure. A survey of 417 individuals,
