Cultural intelligence as a predictor of psychological well being among students pursuing a professional career
Abstract
Well-being pertains to the positive mental state of an individual, which enables him to function effectively. It brings about a variety of positive outcomes both at the personal and professional level. Psychological well-being is believed to vary as major life changes occur. Therefore, there is a constant search for the factors that improve one’s well-being. Cultural Intelligence is one such specific ability that enhances one’s well-being and facilitates better adaptability to an intercultural environment. The current study thus, aims to predict well-being among college students (in a culturally diverse environment) from cultural intelligence. Data using standardized tests was collected from 200 students (M= 110, F= 90) students using a purposive sampling technique. Regression analysis was carried out separately for both genders to unearth gender differences. Results: The result reveals that while Cognitive Cultural Intelligence emerged as a strong and positive predictor of well-being in males, in females Motivational and Behavioural Cultural Intelligence had a significant role to play. The obtained results are discussed in light of theoretical rationale and empirical evidence.
