“CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE AND SELF-EFFICACY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS: THE

MEDIATING ROLE OF FLEXIBILITY OF TEACHERS”

Assignment 1- Correlation Studies

1. Correlation between Cultural Intelligence (IV) and Self – efficacy (DV)

Abstract

Cultural intelligence measures an individual’s ability to succeed in a culturally unknown

environment. Self-efficacy expresses self-confidence in one’s own ability to handle a situation.
The two concepts are closely linked, as confirmed by a number of previous studies. Using the
multivariate method PLS-SEM, the predictive effect of CQ on self-efficacy is investigated;
compared to previous studies, the relationship causality is reversed. A sample of 190 university
students was also tested for how this relationship is moderated by two categorical variables:
work experience abroad and gender. The results showed that cultural intelligence is a
predictor of intercultural self-efficacy in communication. Its impact on the endogenous
variable (self-efficacy) is rather weak, but significantly strengthened by work experience
abroad. Gender has no effect on this relationship.

2. Correlation between Cultural Intelligence (IV) and Flexibility (MV)

Abstract

Companies are becoming more diverse and are increasingly working across
international borders. Given the complex and dynamic global and the economic landscape that
organizations are faced with, there is a need to develop a class of global leaders to work in such
context. Global leaders need heightened Cultural Intelligence (CQ) to adapt and work flexibly
across cultures. Through executive coaching, a one-on-one helping relationship, and the
implementation of specific interventions taken from the clinical psychology literature, CQ can be
improved. Improved CQ results in global leaders becoming more effective in adapting to
contexts that are characterized by cultural differences and becoming more flexible in
thinking and employing strategies to make organizations be more effective globally (Ang
& Van Dyne, 2007). Based on a review of interventions that have roots in clinical
psychology, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment
therapy, it is proposed that executive coaching can be used to increase psychological
flexibility and, in turn, enhance overall CQ and consequent global leadership
effectiveness.

3. Correlation between Flexibility (MV) and Self-Efficacy (DV)

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between academic self-efficacy and
cognitive flexibility levels of physical education and sports teacher candidates. The universe of
the study consisted of 480 teacher candidates studying in the physical education and sports
teaching departments of the sports sciences faculties within Selçuk, Erciyes, Süleyman Demirel
and Mehmet Akif Ersoy Universities, and the sample group consisted of 192 volunteers from the
specified population. Participants in the study were asked to fill in a personal information form,
academic self-efficacy and cognitive flexibility scales. IBM SPSS 22.0 (Statistical Package for
the Social Sciences) statistical package program was used to analyze the data. Arithmetic
means and standard deviations of the scores of the volunteers from the scales were presented
as X±Sd. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis was applied to reveal the relationship
of the data obtained from the scales. The value of p<0,05 was considered significant. As a
result, it was determined that the academic self-efficacy and cognitive flexibility levels of
physical education and sports teacher candidates were above average. A moderate
positive correlation was found between academic self-efficacy and alternatives and
control subtitles of cognitive flexibility and total of cognitive flexibility. It is thought that
this situation is due to the ability of physical education and sports teacher candidates to transfer
their experiences in sports life to their education life.

MEDIATING ROLE OF FLEXIBILITY OF TEACHERS”

Adapted Questionnaires:

1. Is there a significant effect on the cultural intelligence and self-efficacy of

teachers in public schools?
2. Determine the role of flexibility in the self-efficacy of teachers in public
schools?
