Abstract

This study explored the mechanism of cultural intelligence’s impact on increasing work performance (work engagement, task performance, job satisfaction and turnover intention) of Chinese expatriates working in the Middle East and North Africa (the MENA) by introducing basic psychological need satisfaction and grit as mediating and moderating role respectively. Data comes from an online survey distributed to 319 Chinese expatriates working in the MENA. The results show that CQ significantly and positively predicted work engagement, task performance and job satisfaction. Basic psychological need satisfaction acts as mediating factor in the mechanism of CQ’s influence on increasing work performance. However, only when Chinese expatriates working in the MENA score high in the perseverance of efforts, one dimension of grit, CQ can promote work performance by satisfying their basic psychological needs.
