The impact of intercultural experience and language skills on cultural intelligence: the mediating role of self-efficacy in communication

Original language description

The concept of cultural intelligence (CQ), which expresses an individual’s ability to be successful and effective in situations characterised by cultural diversity, was introduced into research practice in 2003–2004, and it has been a strong point of interest ever since. The concept was examined in rela-tion to a number of other variables at different positions of the nomological network (i.e. as inde-pendent variable, output variable, moderator, mediator). Given the concept’s importance for the com-petitiveness of organisations in international markets and the success of individuals in a globalised intercultural environment, great attention was paid to the issue of CQ development. CQ antecedents were examined to understand the effects of strengthening intercultural competence. However, the results presented are inconsistent and often contradictory. This study not only builds on previous re-search by examining the impact of biographical antecedents (knowledge of foreign languages, fre-quency of intercultural social contacts, experience of traveling abroad) on CQ, but it goes even fur-ther: it seeks to understand these direct relationships mediating the variables of self-efficacy in com-munication. Data from a sample (n=220) of university students studying at one Czech private univer-sity and one Russian public university were analysed using the PLS-SEM statistical technique. All direct relationships were confirmed, albeit at different levels of statistical significance. However, the mediating role of self-efficacy in communication was found only for the language knowledge varia-ble. Finally, the practical and theoretical implications of the presented research results are discussed.
