“…Question-items for cultural intelligence were adapted from the cultural intelligence scale (CQS) developed by Van Dyne, Ang, and Koh (2008) and used by Bucker, Furrer and Lin (2015). Further, the question-items for emotional intelligence were culled from then emotional intelligence scale formed by Wong and Law (2002) and employed by LaPalme, Wang, Joseph, Saklofske and Yan (2016). Lastly, the question-items used to measure the cross-cultural adjustment of Filipino expatriates were derived from the paper of Ward and Kennedy (1999).…”

With the rise of globalization, labor migration is estimated to increase as developed countries will experience shortages in skills of certain age brackets of the working population, thus, requiring more migrant labor in order to address this gap. Filipinos represent a considerable number of expatriates around the world. By 2018, there were 2.3 million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), and 24.3 % (558,900) of them worked in Saudi Arabia. These expatriates pursue economic opportunities in the Kingdom due to better job prospects and higher earning potential despite the cross-cultural adjustment challenges. This study aims to explore the influence of Cultural and Emotional intelligence in the cross-cultural adjustment of Filipino expatriates in Saudi Arabia. A survey was conducted on 483 male OFWs, both descriptive and correlational research methods were used to test the hypotheses. Correlation results showed the significant positive associations with moderately strong correlations between cultural intelligence (CQ) and the cross-cultural adjustment of Filipino expatriates in Saudi Arabia. Behavioral and motivational CQ could significantly predict the cross-cultural adjustment of Filipino expatriates. Emotional intelligence (EQ) and the expatriate Filipino's cross-cultural adjustment in Saudi Arabia showed significant association, with Appraisal and Recognition of Emotion in Others as its strongest predictor. The Filipino expatriates' status, first time or seasoned, significantly moderated the association between EQ factors and their cross-cultural adjustment degree. This study suggests that high CQ and EQ levels along with previous experience with the host country could serve well as important considerations in international careers. This paper contributes a new perspective to the literature on Filipino

“…The trait model (or trait EI) is contextualized within the personality framework and is evaluated through self-reported measures of behavior (e.g., Bar-On, 1997; Salovey et al, 1995). Ability EI measures attempt to capture the latent ability to perceive, use, understand, and regulate emotions (La Palme et al, 2016). Since trait EI is conceptualized as “a constellation of emotion-related self-perceptions and dispositions at the lower levels of personality hierarchies” (Petrides et al, 2007b, p. 26), it is considered as the shared affective variance within the personality domain that is sampled by lower order facets (Siegling et al, 2015) such as adaptability and empathy.…”

This article proposes a culturally implicit perspective of emotional intelligence and introduces the notion of culture-specific emotional intelligence (CSEI). Emotional intelligence (EI) as a construct has predominantly been associated with the individual. Given that emotions are also implicit beliefs and that their experience, expression, and management are known to be driven by cultural values, we suggest EI to be culturally embedded. We therefore suggest that EI is culture-specific. Culture-specific EI serves as an important social resource affecting behaviors. We provide a brief review of literature that elucidates the multi-level nature of EI and highlights the role of culture as both antecedent and moderator of CSEI. Implications for theory and cross-cultural phenomena are discussed.

“…There is mixed evidence in the research literature regarding cross-cultural comparisons of trait EI levels in more individualistic versus collectivistic countries (e.g., LaPalme et al, 2016). For example, Gökçen et al (2014) found that British participants scored higher on global trait EI and on the four factors associated with the TEIQue compared to Chinese participants.…”

“…When a construct is invariant across groups, it indicates that the different groups are attributing the same meaning to that construct (Putnick and Bornstein, 2016). Establishing cross-cultural invariance is important for comparisons across cultures on some construct (Mullen, 1995; Libbrecht et al, 2014; LaPalme et al, 2016). While factorial equivalence can be demonstrated within multiple cultures, it does not ensure measurement invariance of the measured construct across cultures (Byrne and Campbell, 1999; Byrne and Watkins, 2003).…”

An Investigation of the Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form (Chinese TEIQue-SF)

The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire Short Form (TEIQue-SF). Analyses were performed using a sample of undergraduates ( N = 585) recruited from four universities across China. Confirmatory factor analysis of the Chinese TEIQue-SF supported the one-factor structure of trait emotional intelligence. Measurement invariance analyses were conducted across the Chinese sample and a sample of Canadian undergraduate students ( N = 638). Although the two samples demonstrated configural and partial metric invariance, scalar invariance was not found. Cross-cultural implications and explanations of the present findings, as well as suggestions for future research are discussed.
