This study investigates the relationships among cultural intelligence (CQ), personality and transformational leadership in a student population. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of CQ on transformational leadership to see if a relationship exists beyond personality.,Hypotheses are presented and tested on a sample of 465 undergraduate and graduate students who attended a large northeastern US university. Hierarchical regression was used to conduct the analysis, and multiple models were generated to test the relationships posited.,The data showed that CQ affected transformational leadership; however, when examining the subcomponents of CQ, only behavioral CQ had an impact on transformational leadership beyond personality.,The surveys were self-reported and cross-sectional, so causality could not be determined. Furthermore, the sample, while diverse, was composed of students. However, scholars will find value in this research because it expands the understanding of CQ.,The findings of this research indicate that behavioral CQ impacts transformational-leadership skills. Thus, business educators should consider how to build skills associated with behavioral CQ in students because of the importance of global transformational-leadership skills in the workplace.,This research will impact the literature streams of CQ and transformational leadership because it is the first to examine the relationship between the two while controlling for personality.

调查学生变革型领导的前因

这项研究调查了学生群体中文化智能（CQ），个性和变革型领导之间的关系。本文的目的是检验CQ对变革型领导力的影响，看是否存在除人格之外的关系。对在美国东北部一所大型大学就读的465名本科生和研究生的样本进行了假设假设的检验。运用层次回归进行了分析，并生成了多个模型来检验所建立的关系。但是，在检查CQ的各个组成部分时，只有行为CQ会对人格以外的变革型领导产生影响。调查是自我报告和横断面的，因此无法确定因果关系。此外，样本虽然多样化，但由学生组成。然而，学者们将在本研究中发现价值，因为它扩大了对CQ的理解。本研究的结果表明，行为CQ影响着变革型领导技能。因此，由于工作场所中全球变革型领导技能的重要性，商业教育工作者应考虑如何建立与学生行为CQ相关的技能。这项研究将影响CQ和变革型领导的文献流，因为这是第一个研究在控制个性的同时，两者之间的关系。这项研究的结果表明，行为CQ影响着变革型领导技能。因此，由于工作场所中全球变革型领导技能的重要性，商业教育工作者应考虑如何建立与学生行为CQ相关的技能。这项研究将影响CQ和变革型领导的文献流，因为这是第一个研究在控制个性的同时，两者之间的关系。这项研究的结果表明，行为CQ影响着变革型领导技能。因此，由于工作场所中全球变革型领导技能的重要性，商业教育工作者应考虑如何建立与学生行为CQ相关的技能。这项研究将影响CQ和变革型领导的文献流，因为这是第一个研究在控制个性的同时，两者之间的关系。
