Abstract

This meta-analysis clarifies and tests the structural relationships among the Big Five personality traits, cultural intelligence (CQ), and an expanded criterion domain of job performance. Positioning CQ in the nomological network of personality traits is timely because research has demonstrated that CQ predicts a range of work-related outcomes in today's multicultural workplace. Drawing on the Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T), we conduct a meta-analytic investigation (n = 24,552; k = 109) of the metatraits of stability (shared variance of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and emotional stability) and plasticity (shared variance of extraversion and openness) on CQ and five job performance outcomes (task performance, affiliative citizenship performance, change-oriented citizenship performance, adaptive performance, and creative performance). Our findings show that CQ is a stronger mediator of the plasticity metatrait (than stability) on job performance, supporting our hypotheses. We also discover intriguing suppressor effects, suggesting that the importance of the plasticity metatrait on job performance could be underestimated in existing Big Five meta-analyses.

人格的稳定性和可塑性：对文化智能和五种工作表现形式影响的元分析调查

这项荟萃分析阐明并检验了大五人格特质、文化智能（CQ）以及工作绩效这一扩展标准领域之间的结构关系。研究表明，在当今多元文化的工作环境中，文化智商可以预测一系列与工作相关的结果，因此将文化智商定位在人格特质的名义网络中是非常及时的。借鉴控制论大五理论（CB5T），我们对CQ的稳定性（自觉性、合意性和情绪稳定性的共享方差）和可塑性（外向性和开放性的共享方差）元特质以及五种工作绩效结果（任务绩效、附属性公民绩效、变化导向型公民绩效、适应性绩效和创造性绩效）进行了元分析调查（n = 24,552; k = 109）。我们的研究结果表明，与稳定性相比，CQ 是可塑性元特征对工作绩效的一个更强的中介，这支持了我们的假设。我们还发现了有趣的抑制效应，这表明在现有的大五元分析中，可塑性元特征对工作绩效的重要性可能被低估了。
