Attributional complexity of monoculturals and biculturals: Implications for cross-cultural competence
研究了双文化主义和归因复杂性作为跨文化能力的新前因，发现它们与跨文化能力和有效性结果相关，且比已有的人格特质有增量预测价值。
Cross-cultural Competence (CC) of managers in globally dispersed MNE affiliates is one of the most effective means to overcome the liability of foreignness. Although managers high in biculturalism may have more resources than monoculturals to acquire (and deploy) CC in mitigating liability of foreignness, this has not been adequately examined. We contribute by examining the influence of two new antecedents of CC –biculturalism and Attributional Complexity. In four studies, we find that these antecedents are related to CC, effectiveness outcomes, and show incremental value over established personality traits in predicting them. We discuss contributions, limitations, future directions, and managerial implications.
