Abstract

Cross-cultural competence (CCC) is an important ability for individuals in today's globalized world. To improve our understanding of it, this study examines the relationship between two major constructs of CCC - cultural intelligence (CQ) and intercultural competency. Results from a canonical correlation analysis of online survey data collected from 246 Police Officers in Ireland indicated a strong relationship between CQ and intercultural competence. The lower stages of intercultural competence were more negatively related to metacognitive and motivational CQ facets; higher stages of intercultural competence were more positively related to behavioral and cognitive CQ facets. Metacognitive CQ was positively related to both lower and higher stages of intercultural competence. The results offer insights on the developmental patterns of various components of CCC. Implications for the conceptualization and the measurement of CCC are discussed.
