| Summary: | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influences of cultural intelligence, feedback-seeking
behavior and shared vision as a mediator on bi-directional knowledge transfer involving expatriates and host
country nationals (HCNs).
Design/methodology/approach – This paper integrates the signaling theory, the social capital theory and
the anxiety and uncertainty theory in investigating the relationships between predictors and knowledge
transfer in a bi-directional manner. The participants of the study were 125 expatriate-HCN pairs of MNCs and
local organizations in the areas of Klang Valley, Malaysia.
Findings – Shared vision was found to significantly mediate the influences of cultural intelligence and
feedback-seeking behavior on knowledge transfer as perceived by the respective respondents.
Originality/value – Co-existence between expatriates and HCNs leads to many organizational outcomes
including knowledge transfer. This paper additionally provides theoretical and practical implications to
human resource practices. |
