Abstract

Managing a multicultural environment has been increasingly challenging in the workplace. Higher education institutions are expected to play an active role in developing and promoting necessary skills for students to be adaptive in a diverse workplace after graduation. Cultural intelligence becomes a necessary soft skill to communicate effectively in a cross-cultural environment. By analyzing 1333 questionnaire feedback of students from Philippines public universities, this study investigates the level of CQ of the undergraduate students and the relationship between CQ and perceived employability among undergraduate students. The results show that students have a high metacognitive CQ and a low cognitive level. A Moderate and positive relationship was found between CQ and employability among students. There is a significant relationship between CQ and employability that increases the level of CQ. As such, we recommend that universities and colleges invest in improving the students’ cultural intelligence to improve their performance in cross-cultural environments and design appropriate programs in the school curriculum to develop their CQ.
