Orientation: Cultural intelligence is an essential social competence for effective individual interaction in a cross-cultural context. The cultural intelligence scale (CQS) is used extensively for assessing cultural intelligence; nevertheless, its reliability and validity on a South African sample are yet to be ascertained.Research purpose: The purpose of the current study was to assess the construct validity of the CQS on a South African sample. The results of the psychometric assessment offer some important insights into the factor structure of the cultural intelligence construct.Motivation for the study: The current study sought to provide some practical validity confirmation of the CQS for the effective management of cultural diversity in the South African context.Research approach, design and method: The CQS was administered on a non-probability sample of 229 young adults in South Africa. Item analysis was performed to ascertain reliability. Exploratory factor analysis was used to test the unidimensionality of CQS subscales. The first-order and second-order factor structures underlying contemporary models of cultural intelligence were tested using confirmatory factor analysis.Main findings: Results indicated that the CQS is a reliable and valid measure of cultural intelligence as evidenced by the high internal consistency coefficients in all the subscales. Good construct validity for both the first-order and second-order models was obtained via confirmatory factor analysis.Practical/managerial implications: The study finds good measurement properties of the CQS in a South African context. The CQS can be confidently used for applications such as selecting, training and developing a more culturally competent workforce.Contribution: The study extends the body of knowledge on the reliability and construct validity of the CQS in the South African milieu. It further indicates that cultural intelligence can be represented by a general cultural intelligence factor that drives more specific dimensions of cultural intelligence.

“…This means that, even though some types present strong correlations among them, the specific variance, explained by each latent factor, is higher than the variance of this factor that is shared with the remaining factors. That is, there is evidence of discriminant validity for each of the six career types, ratifying its specificity and theoretical and practice relevance that justifies keeping the six factors in the structure model (Farrell, 2010).…”

“…Indicators such as normed chi-squared (c 2 /gl), AIC and CAIC were used to assess the best fit among the models tested -values below these indexes indicate the most parsimonious model with the most satisfactory goodness of fit. Indicators that show reliability and convergent-discriminant validity of the scale factor structure were also calculated: Composed Reliability -CR (valor ≥ .70 indicates satisfactory internal consistency) and Average Variance Extracted -AVE > .50 indicates convergent validity of parcels to represent the latent factor; the squared root of AVE (√AVE) greater than the association of phi among factors indicates discriminant validity (Farrell, 2010).…”

Professional interests are a synthesis of personal characteristics and function as a guiding factor for one's career choice. This study shows evidence of validity and reliability for the interpretation of the scores of a measure of career types. The responses of 1,265 high school students to 154 items from the Escala de Avaliação dos Tipos Profissionais de Holland (ATPH) ENT#091;Assessment Scale of Holland's Career TypesENT#093; were used. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the six-factor structure is appropriate and consistent to represent the RIASEC types. Evidence of convergent-discriminant validity of parcels of items was demonstrated to represent the latent factors of the ATPH Scale. Results of multidimensional analysis and phi correlation phi partially confirmed the hypothesis of circularity and congruence among the career types, which are organized in the acronym RASIEC. The implications of these results and study limitations are discussed.

“…From Table 2, there is a high correlation of 0.92 between the independent variable 'perceived usefulness' and dependent variable 'willingness to use'. In such situations, it is necessary to assess discriminant validity before further analyses can be conducted (Farrell, 2009). Following Fornell and Larcker (1981) who state that "variance extracted estimates should be greater than the squared correlation estimate", we examine whether the average variance extracted for the two constructs in our study was greater than the squared correlation (rsquare) between the two constructs.…”

Individual entrepreneurial orientation role in shaping reactions to new technologies

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Considerable research has been undertaken to explain and predict user acceptance of novel technologies at work. Although theoretical and empirical support has accumulated in favor of the powerful and parsimonious explanation provided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), key knowledge voids remain. One factor that may be related to the adoption of new technologies, but has remained unexplored in the TAM literature, is the proclivity to behave entrepreneurially, known nominally as individual entrepreneurial orientation. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the role of individual entrepreneurial orientation in facilitating technology adoption under mandated conditions. Predictions are tested using survey data collected from knowledge workers required to use a new technology. Research directions and implications are discussed.
