“…These individuals also query different cultural assumptions, which leads them to adjust their cognition during and after interactions (Ang et al 2007;Brislin et al 2006;Kodwani 2012), and also in relation to job performance and cultural judgement with regard to decision-making tasks (Ang et al 2007). Therefore, it is expected that high metacognitive CI will lead to higher levels of cross-cultural adjustment (Huff, Song & Gresch 2014). Individuals with higher levels of metacognitive CI have been observed to know when and how to apply their cultural knowledge (Ang et al 2007).…”

“…Cognitive CI refers to an individual's knowledge of the customs, norms and conventions that exist within various cultures (Earley & Ang 2003;Huff et al 2014;Rose et al 2010). Whilst metacognitive CI places an emphasis on higher-order cognitive processes, cognitive CI relates to the knowledge of the conventions, practices and norms associated with different cultures, which may be obtained from personal and academic experiences.…”

“…This may include the knowledge of the legal, social and economic systems of various cultures and subcultures (Earley & Ang 2003;Rose et al 2010;Triandis 1994) and also the knowledge of basic frameworks of cultural values (such as Hofstede 2001). People who have greater levels of cognitive CI have the ability to understand and distinguish between the similarities and differences across different cultures (Brislin et al 2006;chen, Wu & Bian 2014;Huff et al 2014). According to Ang et al (2007), cognitive CI improves decision-making when individuals partake in cross-cultural interactions (Ang et al 2007;Huff 2013;Huff et al 2014;Ward et al 2009).…”

Orientation: Sociocultural adaptation and cultural intelligence theory predicts certain relationships between these two orientations and performance in culturally diverse contexts.Research purpose: The aim of the research was to investigate the contribution of cultural intelligence to sociocultural adaptation and the role of cultural intelligence as a mediator of the relationship between sociocultural adaptation and academic performance of international students in the context of a large South African university.Motivation of the study: The study was motivated by a lack of knowledge of the role of cultural intelligence in its contribution to sociocultural adaptation and academic performance of international students in the current South African academic context. This lack of knowledge was taken to be a problem for managers in the higher education context.Research design, approach and method: A purposive sample of 263 international students from a large South African university was analysed using confirmatory factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Main findings: Unlike metacognitive, cognitive and behavioural cultural intelligences, only motivational cultural intelligence, together with sociocultural adaptation, was found to be significantly and positively associated with academic performance.Practical and managerial implications: Given that motivational cultural intelligence reflects the interest and motivation of an individual to learn about and adapt to other cultures, university managers should seek to cultivate motivational cultural intelligence through university activities, as this orientation can be developed in sojourners.Contribution or value-add: The results of this study contest broader predictions that all cultural intelligence orientations act equally to enable academic performance in this context.

“…The results of a study by Huff et al (2014) entitled "Cultural intelligence, personality, and cross -cultural adjustment: study of expatriates in Japan'' indicate that motivational CQ can explain variance in expatriates' general interaction, and work adjustment over and above the five factor model of personality.…”

In this descriptive -correlative study we examined the relationship between big five personality traits with cultural intelligence in 113 active soccer coaches in the city of Mashhad in north-eastern of Iran. Anget. al (2004) cultural intelligence (CI) and Costa & McCrae (1992) Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) and NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI questionnaires were used to obtain coaches' rate of cultural intelligence and personality traits. The results of the study revealed a significant positive relationship between personality traits (except for neuroticism) with Cultural intelligence. A significant reverse relationship was observed between neuroticism and Cultural intelligence. A significant difference was observed between coaches with A and B coaching degree, in comparison with C and D coaching degree in terms of cultural intelligence. No significant difference was observed between these two groups regarding personality traits. Our results show that some of the personality characteristics are crucial and related to a capability to function effectively in diverse settings.

Along with that, as Huff et al (2014) stated in their study, it can be said that TRRs have the self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation for engaging in cross-cultural experiences. Although, in the literature, Rose et al could not find a relationship between motivational CQ and agreeableness; it has been found out in this research that TRRs' traits of agreeableness affect motivational CQ.…”
