Abstract

In 1978, China embraced globalization, and opened its doors to the world. As a result, the Chinese economy has experienced significant global growth, leading to an increased integration of Chinese workers in international businesses. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between Cultural Intelligence and Innovation by examining Chinese expatriates, individuals of Chinese origin who live and work abroad. Innovative Work Behavior was used to further explain the link between Cultural Intelligence and Innovation; and Creativity was used as a mediator between Cultural Intelligence and Innovative Work behavior. For our research methodology we used a survey aimed for Chinese expatriates measuring Cultural Intelligence, Creativity, Innovative Work Behavior and Organizational Innovation. We hypothesized that there is a positive correlation between Cultural Intelligence and Innovative Work Behavior, Creativity mediates the effect of Cultural Intelligence on Innovative Work Behavior and that Innovative Work Behavior is positively associated with Organizational Innovation. It was found that Chinese expatriates with specific qualities had more innovative capabilities that enabled them to bring innovation to organizations and help them become more sustainable in a highly competitive global economy.
