Abstract
Globalization encourages individuals across the nation to find a job outside the country. It offers a big opportunity for people in enterprises to interact with foreign workers. Expatriates require cultural intelligence (CQ) to work in a cross-cultural organization, and also need political skills to support them in building networks and acquiring assistance, so that they can adjust very well to their life overseas. The aim of this paper was to explore the impact of CQ on job satisfaction among expatriates. This study also sought to explore the moderating effect of political skill on the relationship between CQ and job satisfaction. The target population of the study is expatriates working in Taiwan. The expatriates should have worked in Taiwan for at least three months as white-collar workers (e.g. teacher, lawyer, engineer, managers, etc.). Data were collected from 302 expatriates in Taiwan by using paper-based questionnaires and online questionnaires. The results indicated that cultural intelligence is positively associated with job satisfaction. However, this study also showed that expatriates with higher levels of political skill and cultural intelligence had the lowest levels of job satisfaction. On the contrary, expatriates with higher levels of cultural intelligence but lower levels of political skill tended to have the highest levels of job satisfaction.
