The purpose of this thesis is therefore to analyse CQ in order to apply this concept to international human resource management (hereafter HRM) practices by discussing theoretical and empirical research on its nature, impacts and implications.
The first part of this thesis introduces the concept of CQ by emphasising CQ as a multidimensional construct that is built on Sternberg and Dettermann’s foci of multiple
intelligences. Moreover, the concept of CQ will be differentiated from personality traits, other forms of intelligence, such as general mental ability (hereafter IQ) and emotional intelligence (hereafter EI), and other cross-cultural competencies. In order to
understand how CQ can be measured the cultural intelligence scale (hereafter CQS), developed by Van Dyne, Ang und Koh, will be explained. In the second part, the question of what actually determines CQ will be answered by examining a nomological
framework and the relation between personality and CQ. Moreover, impacts of CQ on interpersonal outcomes will be assessed by analysing existing studies and the influence of CQ on experiential learning will be highlighted. In the third part, implications for
theory and practice will be discussed with a special emphasis on international HRM practices. Finally, the results of this thesis will be summarised and a conclusion will be drawn by giving rise to still unanswered questions for future research.
