Expatriate Employees

In this study we combined the organizational behavior literature with international human resource management theory to investigate expatriates in the context of the interrelationship of the Big Five personality traits, cultural intelligence, cross-cultural adjustment, and entrepreneurship. We used a data sample of 230 individuals to empirically confirm that expatriates' personality, cultural intelligence, and cross-cultural adjustment are key factors in successful expatriate entrepreneurship in a cross-cultural context. Our results provide a deeper understanding of the antecedents of entrepreneurship that affect expatriates' entrepreneurial performance in an overseas posting.

Abstract Objective Develop a cross-cultural conceptual framework for the validation of the Advanced Clinical Solutions (ACS) Social Perception subtest to effectively assess Latinx populations. Method The framework serves to examine and evaluate the composition of the normative sample of the ACS-SP using eight key variables taken from the ECLECTIC framework, specifically education (e.g., literacy), acculturation levels (e.g., race, ethnicity), language (e.g., proficiency), economics (e.g., SES), communication styles, testing comfort, intelligence conceptualization, and context of immigration (Fujii, 2018). In addition, the model assesses the normative sample in reference to the intersectionality of identities (Cole, 2009; Wadsworth et al., 2016) across cultural and demographic variables that may influence the expression of emotion, and consequently, the interpretation of ACS-SP results. The model applies an Etic-Emic approach to address the question of cross-cultural validity of the ACS-SP (Cheung, van de Vijver & Leong, 2011). Finally, the model can be applied to examine the ACS-SP in relation to cultural intelligence (CQ), a more recently established construct defined as an individual’s ability to function effectively inter-culturally (Ang, Rockstuhl, & Tan, 2015). Discussion A large body of research has shown that the expression and measurement of social cognitive abilities are greatly influenced by cultural factors (Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002). For example, studies have shown that the expression of these abilities may be greatly influenced by cultural differences in display rules. Likewise, it is equally important to consider key cultural variables such as those related to socioeconomic status (SES), demographics, and identity in the neuropsychological assessment of social perception in Latinx populations. Therefore, the model conducts a cross-cultural analysis of the ACS-SP. References Ang, S., Rockstuhl, T., & Tan, M. L. (2015). Cultural intelligence and competencies.
