目的-关于外派和全球领导力的研究在定义什么是跨文化能力方面存在很大差异。如果能够确定跨文化能力领域的全面定义，特别是在全球领导的具体背景下，就可以取得更大的进展。设计/方法/途径-作者对全球领导力和外派文献进行了广泛的回顾，整合和综合了先前的理论和实证研究成果，为全球领导力背景下的跨文化能力制定了一个全面的领域定义。结果-全球领导力背景下的跨文化能力领域包括三个维度：感知管理，关系管理和自我管理。每个维度的特点是方面，进一步划定方面的跨文化能力。研究限制/影响-全球领导的跨文化能力的域定义似乎得到了很好的支持，在以前的理论和实证工作，专注于外籍和全球领导，但是，这项工作是分散的性质。测试的综合模型，即所有三个方面和17个方面，要求，以及验证的工具，测量them.Originality/值-本文集成和综合了广泛的机构的理论和实证工作相关的跨文化能力，并明确建立了内容域，从而提高了未来的理论和实证工作的效力。
Purpose - Research on expatriation and global leadership has been characterized by wide variations in defining what constitutes intercultural competence. Greater progress can be achieved if a comprehensive definition of the intercultural competence domain can be established, particularly with regard to the specific context of global leadership. This paper aims to focus on the issues.Design/methodology/approach - The authors conduct an extensive review of the global leadership and expatriation literatures, integrating and synthesizing prior theoretical and empirical efforts to develop a comprehensive domain definition for intercultural competence in the context of global leadership.Findings - The domain of intercultural competence in the context of global leadership comprised three dimensions perception management, relationship management and self management. Each dimension is characterized by facets that further delineate aspects of intercultural competence.Research limitations/implications - The domain definition of intercultural competence for global leadership appears to be well supported in prior theoretical and empirical work focusing on expatriation and global leadership; however that work was fragmented in nature. A test of the comprehensive model, i.e. all three dimensions and 17 facets, is called for, as well as the validation of an instrument that measures them.Originality/value - The paper integrates and synthesizes the extensive body of theoretical and empirical work related to intercultural competence and clearly establishes the content domain, thereby enhancing the efficacy of future theoretical and empirical efforts.
