This study examined the role of the perceived cross-cultural competence of foreign firms on local consumers’ ethnocentrism and pro-domestic purchasing behaviours, as measured by pro-domestic purchasing bias and sacrifices in favour of pro-domestic purchasing among consumers. The study also investigated the role of social norms in reinforcing consumer ethnocentrism and fostering pro-domestic buying behaviours. A quantitative methodology, in the form of a survey strategy, was employed to obtain data from South African consumers. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was used to validate the scales and to test the path model. The findings of the study show that perceived cross-cultural competence is negatively related to consumer ethnocentrism, and they indicate that consumers’ ethnocentrism significantly predicts their degree of pro-domestic purchasing bias and the sacrifices they make in favour of pro-domestic purchasing. Finally, the findings show that the relationships between consumer ethnocentrism and pro-domestic purchasing bias, on the one hand, and consumer ethnocentrism and sacrifice for pro-domestic purchasing, on the other, are significantly moderated by social norms. The findings of this study differ from those in the literature by shedding light on the importance of foreign firms’ perceived cross-cultural competence in ameliorating consumer ethnocentrism and pro-domestic purchasing behaviour. The study contributes to the literature by showing how social norms are a boundary condition that reinforces consumer ethnocentrism with respect to pro-domestic purchasing behaviours in South Africa.

This study examines the influence of antecedents on cross-cultural competence and cross-cultural adjustment as well as the mediating role of cross-cultural competence for the influence of cultural adaptability on cross-cultural adjustment and expatriate performance. The partial least squares structural equation modeling technique was adopted to analyze the data from a survey of 240 expatriates working in Taiwan. The results confirm the positive effect of emotional intelligence and cultural adaptability on cross-cultural competence and of emotional intelligence and cross-cultural competence on cross-cultural adjustment. Moreover, the findings reveal a highly valuable milestone insight into the role of cross-cultural competence regarding their competency to foster the indirect influence of cultural adaptability on cross-cultural adjustment and expatriate performance in culturally diverse settings. Given that previous research has rarely identified the mediating role of cross-cultural competence in improving cross-cultural adjustment and expatriate performance, these findings could be highly beneficial for academics to conduct further validation and professional human resource managers in recruiting and managing expatriates.

Since the end of the cold war in the late 1980s, world economies have been showing a growing tendency to become globally interdependent. Subsumed under the term globalization, this phenomenon resulted in a lot of cross-cultural alliances in terms of turnkey projects, licensing agreements, and foreign capital investments. But ultimately, success depended on cross-culturally competent behavior, or as Plato puts it, behavior stemming from desire, knowledge, and emotion, the one needed to read across wires and walls of different cultures. So, the present chapter is a psychological aspersion targeted at analyzing and educing measures to develop cross-cultural competence, a crucial criterion in business education. On that account, the role of cultural intelligence as a moderator of emic and etic psycho-cultural influences in business settings has been explored. The entire narration rests on transcending influences of CQ as a moderator in psycho-cultural business contexts.
