Cultural Quotient as a Predictor of Work Engagement among Employees of Multinational Organizations: A Survey Research

Author(s) Dr. Kiransinh Natwarsinh Rajput
Country India
Abstract Globalisation is no longer just a trend; it has become a necessity for organisations that want to grow and succeed. With globalisation comes cultural diversity. Employees currently work in different countries and with people from many backgrounds. This makes cultural sensitivity a real challenge for multinational companies. Cultural Quotient (CQ) is a measure of how well a person understands, respects, and works with people from other cultures. The present research aimed to examine whether a person's CQ is linked to work engagement. An additional objective was to determine whether male and female employees differ in their CQ or work engagement levels. Data were collected from 200 employees working in multinational organisations in India. All participants had worked in their current company for at least one year. Two standard tools were used: the Cultural Quotient Scale and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). The data were analyzed using correlation, t-tests, and regression analysis. The findings indicate that employees with higher CQ — especially in knowledge and motivation — show greater dedication to their work. However, CQ did not demonstrate a strong link with vigour or absorption. No significant difference was found between male employees and female employees in terms of CQ or work engagement. These results suggest that CQ contributes to dedication but does not fully account for all dimensions of work engagement. Organisations should invest in building cultural intelligence while also providing additional support to enhance energy and deep focus at work.
