Tracing the route to organisational performance
\nthrough expatriate leadership effectiveness: the role
\nof emotional, cultural and spiritual intelligence

This study aims to determine the effects of emotional, cultural and
\nspiritual intelligence on organisational performance through expatriate
\nleadership effectiveness. For doing so, a conceptual framework has been
\ndesigned. Afterwards, data were collected from expatriate managers of various
\nmultinational corporations in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, through the
\nemployment of self-administered questionnaires. The collected data were later
\nanalysed through SPSS and SEM. The outcomes indicated that cultural and
\nspiritual intelligence have positive effects on expatriate leadership
\neffectiveness. Furthermore, emotional, cultural and spiritual intelligence and
\nexpatriate leadership effectiveness have positive effects on organisational
\nperformance. The results have also shown that expatriate leadership
\neffectiveness mediates the relationship between cultural and spiritual
\nintelligence and organisational performance. Implications, limitations and
\nfuture research directions are discussed.
