• Multicultural Employees: A Framework for Understanding How They Contribute to Organizations (2013, background): “Cultural metacognition is knowledge of and control over one’s thinking and learning activities during cross-cultural interactions (Thomas, 2006; Thomas et al., 2008), and it facilitates positive cross-cultural interactions (Brannen et al., 2009; Stephan & Stephan, 1992).”
• The relationships among social intelligence, emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence (2009, background): “Likewise CQ may be related to high levels of adap- tive skills, but these skills are focused on cultural knowledge and translate into culturally appropriate behavior (Thomas et al., 2008), which does not necessarily include emotional skills.”
• Cultural and language skills as resources for boundary spanning within the MNC (2014, background): “Importantly, culture-general skills (that is, using metacognitive skills from specific cultural and language experiences to assist broader cross-cultural interactions; Hong, 2010; Thomas et al., 2008) may make it easier to operate in situations where one does not possess relevant culture-specific sk”
• Measuring cultural intelligence (CQ) (2015, positive): “Furthermore, CQ represents a system of interacting knowledge and skills, linked by cultural metacognition that enables people to adapt to, select, and shape the cultural aspects of their environment (Thomas et al., 2008).”
• Self‐initiated expatriates and their career success (2012, methodology): “From these, we adopted the concept of cultural intelligence, defined as “a system of interacting knowledge and skills, linked by cultural meta-cognition that allows people to adapt to, select, and shape the cultural aspects of their environment” (Thomas et al., 2008, p.126).”
