unlocking expatriates job creativity the role of cultural learning and metacognitive and motivational cultural intelligence
Management and Organization Review, 2017Co-Authors: Xiaojun Xu, Xiaoping ChenAbstract:In this article, we extend Amabile's componential theory of creativity to account for cross-cultural creativity by conceptualizing cultural learning as a crucial component in the creativity relevant process. We hypothesize a significant positive relationship between cultural learning and expatriates’ cross-cultural job creativity, and that this relationship will be enhanced by domain learning and the cultural distance between the host and home countries. Moreover, we propose that expatriates with higher metacognitive and motivational cultural intelligence will engage in greater cultural learning, which in turn will be related to job creativity. Data from 219 expatriate-supervisor dyads of 36 Chinese multinational companies reveal that metacognitive CQ and motivational CQ are indeed positive antecedents to cultural learning, which in turn positively relates to cross-cultural job creativity, especially for high domain learning expatriates who work in a Foreign Culture not vastly different from home. Our findings make significant contributions to the existing literature on creativity and provide nuanced understanding of the relationship between cultural intelligence, cultural learning and cross-cultural job creativity. Our findings also have important implications for expatriate management.

cultural threats in culturally mixed encounters hamper creative performance for individuals with lower openness to experience
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2016Co-Authors: Xia Chen, Chiyue Chiu, Angela K Y Leung, Daniel Y J Yang, Zhongquan Li, Shirley Y Y ChengAbstract:Past research has examined independently how openness to experience, as a personality trait, and the situational threat triggered by a Foreign cultural encounter affect the emergence of creative benefits from a Culture-mixing experience. The present research provides the first evidence for the interactive effect of openness to experience and cultural threat following culturally mixed encounters on creative performance. In Study 1, under heightened perceptions of cultural threat, exposing to the mixing of Chinese and American Cultures (vs. a non-mixed situation) made close-minded Chinese participants to perform more poorly in a creative generation task. In Study 2, inducing cultural threat by having a Foreign cultural icon spatially intrude a sacred space of the local Culture caused Chinese participants with lower levels of openness to perform less creatively when the Foreign icon was deemed highly symbolic of the Foreign Culture. These patterns of effects did not emerge among open-minded participants. The...
