 Abstract

This research explores the Cultural Intelligence (CQ) levels of employees working in Multinational Corporations (MNCs) and Government Organizations in India, with the goal of understanding whether the nature of their work environment influences the development of CQ. Cultural Intelligence is an essential skill that helps individuals adapt and perform effectively in culturally diverse settings. In today's global and multicultural workspaces, CQ has become increasingly important, particularly in a culturally rich country like India. The study adopted a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative survey data collected through Google Forms using the Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) and qualitative insights from 30 in-depth interviews with employees from both sectors. The CQS instrument, developed by Ang et al. (2007), measures four key dimensions of CQ--Metacognitive, Cognitive, Motivational, and Behavioral--across 20 items using a 7-point Likert scale. A total of 112 employees (57 from MNCs and 55 from Government Organizations) participated in the survey. Data was analyzed using Stata software, and an independent sample t-test was conducted to compare CQ levels between the two groups. The results revealed no statistically significant difference in the CQ levels of MNC employees (M = 85.75) and Government employees (M = 87.04), with a t-value of -0.7294 and p-value of 0.4673. Although Government employees showed a slightly higher mean score, this difference was not large enough to be considered significant. The interviews provided valuable context for these findings. Employees in MNCs largely attributed their cultural adaptability to international exposure and formal cross-cultural training, while Government employees emphasized the diversity within India itself as a driving factor in developing their CQ. This highlights that both international exposure and domestic cultural diversity can equally contribute to enhancing an individual's CQ. These findings challenge the common perception that global work environments automatically lead to higher CQ. Instead, they emphasize that navigating cultural differences within one's own country can be just as valuable in developing CQ, particularly in a diverse nation like India. This study offers practical insights for both MNCs and Government Organizations, encouraging them to foster CQ development not only through global assignments but also by exposure to domestic diversity. While the sample size was relatively small, and the data relied on self-reported responses, the research lays the groundwork for future studies. Longitudinal research or sector-specific comparisons could offer deeper insights into how CQ evolves over time and across different industries.

 Abstract

Abstract This paper explores the intriguing parallel between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Krishna's role in the Mahabharata, particularly in decision-making, ethical dilemmas, and strategic leadership. Just as Krishna served as a guide to Arjuna and other key figures, AI-powered Decision Support Systems (DSS) assist modern leaders in making complex choices based on data-driven insights. Krishna's interventions--whether advising Arjuna on dharma in the Bhagavad Gita or formulating war strategies--mirror AI's ability to provide situational awareness, risk assessment, and strategic recommendations without directly enforcing decisions. However, just as Krishna's guidance required human interpretation and moral judgment, AI too presents insights that human decision-makers must ethically evaluate. By drawing on examples from the Mahabharata and modern AI applications, this paper examines AI's potential as a "digital Krishna," highlighting both its transformative power and its inherent limitations in leadership and ethics.
