نقش خودارزیابی اصلی، قوم محوری و هوش فرهنگی در موفقیت تحصیل خارج از کشور

The increases in globalization and growth of multi-national corporations have spawned attention to the role of international experiences in management education. We develop and test a framework to understand individual and motivational factors that may contribute to subjective indicators of study abroad program success. Specifically, we propose motivational cultural intelligence mediates the relationship of both core self-evaluation and ethnocentrism to successful study-abroad experiences. Data were collected from 183 college-level business students who had recently completed study abroad experiences. Mediation analysis results showed motivational cultural intelligence partially mediated the relationship between core-self-evaluation, and ethnocentrism, and subjective success of study abroad experiences (enjoyment, personal growth, general success). Implications for improving study abroad experiences are discussed.
