In contemporary globalized societies, the number of foreign workers is increasing, resulting in greater intercultural contact and adaptation. Foreign workers apply their cultural intelligence when adapting to and working in multicultural environments, resulting in affiliations with both their cultural heritage and their destination cultural stream. We examined foreign workers’ (N = 264) intercultural adaptation in the globalized context of Denmark. We found that cultural intelligence was directly and positively linked with adaptable work performance. Furthermore, cultural intelligence was indirectly and negatively associated with sociocultural adaptation difficulties through endorsement of Danish culture. Likewise, perceived negative context of reception was indirectly and positively associated with sociocultural adaptation difficulties through low endorsement of Danish culture. Additionally, perceived stress predicted adaptable work performance, whereas perceived context of reception and sociocultural adaptation difficulties did not. Overall, our results suggest involvement in the destination culture as a culturally intelligent way of applying one’s cultural capabilities, suggesting that the perceived context of reception is of great importance for helping foreign workers adapt to their destination cultural environments.

文化智慧的文化适应方式：在丹麦接待的背景下检查外国工人的文化智慧和文化适应取向

在当代全球化社会中，外籍工人的数量不断增加，导致更多的跨文化接触和适应。外国工人在适应和在多元文化环境中工作时运用他们的文化智慧，从而与他们的文化遗产和目的地文化流产生联系。我们检查了外国工人的（N = 264）丹麦全球化背景下的跨文化适应。我们发现文化智力与适应性工作绩效直接相关。此外，通过认可丹麦文化，文化智力与社会文化适应困难间接和负相关。同样，通过对丹麦文化的低认可度，感知到的负面接收环境与社会文化适应困难间接和正相关。此外，感知压力预测了适应性工作绩效，而感知的接受环境和社会文化适应困难则没有。总的来说，我们的结果表明，参与目的地文化是一种运用文化能力的文化智能方式，
