| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 企業管理學系 === 106 === The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of learning goal orientation (LGO) on individuals’ intercultural sensitivity with the mediating effect of cultural intelligence. We collected data from Philippine workers currently living and working in Taiwan. A pilot test was completed by 50 expatriates to ensure the reliability of the instrument, and the result was acceptable. The total amount of valid paper questionnaires were 249 copies and the percentage for valid return questionnaire was 99.6%. We adopted SEM to analyze the data and to test both direct effects and indirect effects among research variables by Mplus 7.0. In addition, we examined the mediation effect of CQ on the relationship between LGO and intercultural sensitivity. The results showed that LGO was an antecedent of an individual’s CQ and CQ had a positive effect on individual’s intercultural sensitivity. Our findings added new knowledge to the field of cross-cultural studies. The findings indicated that learning goal orientation may be the predictor of one’s CQ. Furthermore, the present study discovered that if an individual with a strong learning motivation to live and work in an intercultural environment, his/her cultural learning ability would be enhanced and take effect in generating more positive responses toward cultural differences. Furthermore, with higher sensitivity to respect different cultures would facilitate a harmonious international working and living experience.
