Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between cultural intelligence (CQ) and both leadership style (MLQ) and leadership adaptability (LA), seeking to understand whether leaders with higher CQ will more frequently practise an adaptive and transformational leadership. Design/methodology/approach Respondents are 167 leaders of public and private schools in the UAE; they completed a questionnaire that incorporated the 20-item version of the CQ scale, the 36-item MLQ5x scale and the 13-item LA scale. Correlation and regression analyses assess the relationships between the concepts. Findings CQ has a significant relationship with the transformational component of MLQ; the strategy, motivation and behaviour components of CQ are significantly related to transformational leadership. CQ is not related to transactional or laissez-faire leadership style. CQ has a significant relationship with LA; the strategy, motivation and behaviour components of CQ are significant predictors of LA. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to bring together these three concepts, and to understand the relationships between them.

拥有文化上的智慧会让你成为一名变革型和适应性强的领导者吗?

本研究的目的是探讨文化智力(CQ)与领导风格(MLQ)和领导适应性(LA)之间的关系，试图了解高文化智力的领导者是否会更频繁地实践适应性和变革型领导。设计/方法/方法受访者为167名阿联酋公立和私立学校的领导者;他们完成了一份问卷，其中包括20项CQ量表，36项MLQ5x量表和13项LA量表。相关和回归分析评估概念之间的关系。研究发现，scq与MLQ的转化成分存在显著的相关关系;文商的策略、动机和行为成分与变革型领导显著相关。文化智力与交易型或自由放任型领导风格无关。CQ与LA呈显著相关;文商的策略、动机和行为成分是语用能力的显著预测因子。据作者所知，这是第一次将这三个概念结合在一起，并了解它们之间的关系的研究。
