Ethical preferences for influencing superiors: A 41-society study

With a 41-society sample of 9990 managers and professionals, we used hierarchical linear modeling to investigate the impact of both macro-level and micro-level predictors on subordinate influence ethics. While we found that both macro-level and micro-level predictors contributed to the model definition, we also found global agreement for a subordinate influence ethics hierarchy. Thus our findings provide evidence that developing a global model of subordinate ethics is possible, and should be based upon multiple criteria and multilevel variables

Senior expatriate leadership's effects on innovation and the role of cultural intelligence

We propose that senior expatriates' visionary-transformational leadership influences the rate of innovation adoption in the organizations or units they head, but cultural intelligence moderates this relationship. Our hypotheses were tested with data from 153 senior expatriate managers and 695 subordinates from companies in all 27 countries of the European Union. We found a direct influence of senior expatriates' visionary-transformational leadership on the rate of innovation adoption. Cultural intelligence moderates the effect of senior expatriates' leadership on organizational innovation, but not on product-market innovation. Implications for academic research and business practice are discussed.Senior expatriates Leadership Innovation Cultural intelligence

The Role of Cultural Intelligence in Marketing Adaptation and Export Performance

This study examines how export manager cultural intelligence (CQ) affects the relationship between marketing-mix adaptation and export performance. From a resource-advantage theory perspective, the authors posit that export managers\u27 motivational and metacognitive CQ are intangible but valuable resources that influence marketing strategy and export performance. According to survey data from 153 U.S. exporting firms, export managers\u27 metacognitive CQ positively moderates the relationship between marketing-mix adaptations and export performance. Furthermore, export managers\u27 motivational CQ positively moderates the relationship between environmental differences and marketing-mix adaptations. The study adds to the theoretical understanding of the adaptation-performance relationship and provides valuable guidelines for exporting firms in the recruitment, training, and promotion of export managers
