Homework: SLP- Introduction to Globalization; Cultural Intelligence

Overview

What is cultural intelligence?

Cultural intelligence (CQ), which refers to the capability to adapt and function successfully in culturally diverse environments, has been linked to positive individual-level outcomes in culturally diverse contexts, including performance, interaction quality, interpersonal trust, work engagement, and innovation. Motivated by the benefits of CQ, scholars have investigated factors that relate to individual differences in CQ, yet there is still much to learn. Alexandra, Ehrhart and Randel (2021) contribute to this emerging research by examining the relationships between CQ, perceived inclusion, and perceived cultural diversity in workgroups.

According to your assigned reading, the following are the key takeaways:

A. Culturally intelligent individuals are likely to perceive inclusion in workgroups.

B. Perceived inclusion in workgroups is associated with increases in individuals' cultural intelligence (CQ) over time.

C. Cultural diversity in workgroups strengthens the effect of perceived inclusion on CQ.

SLP Task

Develop a paper that discusses one of the following statements from the Alexandra, Ehrhart, and Randel (2021) required reading (p. 168) about cultural intelligence (CQ):

A. High CQ individuals are skilled at adjusting their mental schemas and habits to show awareness and understanding of cultural differences. They are especially tolerant of cultural differences and unlikely to make inaccurate and superficial judgments in cross-cultural interactions.

B. The tendencies of high CQ individuals to minimize outgroup distinctions and foster a sense of familiarity and acceptance in relationships are likely to contribute to these individuals' sense of belongingness, which is an important aspect of one's perceived inclusion in a workgroup.

C. Research has suggested that the positive outcomes of CQ tend to be stronger for individuals in diverse workgroups.

D. When an individual perceives high levels of both inclusion and cultural diversity within his or her workgroup, that individual can learn from different cultures, thereby allowing CQ to develop further.

One possible area of discussion could be to relate the selected comment to your workplace experiences.

A second potential discussion is of the three takeaways noted by the author. Do you agree with them? Why or why not?

Your paper should be 2-3 pages (not counting your cover sheet, references). You are expected to deal with these issues in an integrated fashion, rather than treating them as a series of individual questions to be answered one by one. (This refers to the need for a transition that takes you from one paragraph to the next. Here is an example of the start of a transition sentence: "This topic is related to the next discussion about...".)
