ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses a four-step regression analysis that included four dimensions of cultural intelligence: the metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral dimensions. It aims to ascertain the effects of cross-cultural management training on the overall cultural intelligence of those who participated in said training. The chapter describes that the ability of expatriates to acculturate and adapt to their new work environment is directly related to the expatriate's motivation. The central problem at the core is the poor performance of United Nations policing missions. Every UN peacekeeping mission, and every United Nations Police (UNPOL) mission, experiences considerable difficulties with confounding variables during the pursuit of attempting to accomplish the mission mandate. UNPOL officers are essentially public-sector expatriate employees who are deployed abroad to work in foreign assignments. The chapter concludes that psychological and socio-cultural adjustment of expatriate workers strongly correlated to those workers job performance. It also concludes that the levels of expatriate adjustment decreased over time.
