This empirical study explores the effect of cultural intelligence (CQ) on migrant workers' innovative behavior, as well as the mediating role of knowledge sharing on the CQ-innovative behavior relationship. Besides, it also examines the extent to which the mediating process is moderated by climate for inclusion. Using survey data collected from Chinese migrant workers and their supervisors working in South Korea ( = 386), migrant workers' CQ is found to positively impact their innovative behavior through enhanced knowledge sharing. However, it is observed that this indirect relationship is significant, only for migrant workers in a strong climate for inclusion. Thus, these findings reveal the underlying mediation and moderation mechanism and consequently unveil the important role of migrant workers' CQ in shaping their behavior. This study provides insightful and practical implications to a multicultural organization, where culturally diverse migrant workers work together.
本实证研究探讨了文化智力（CQ）对农民工创新行为的影响，以及知识共享在CQ与创新行为关系中的中介作用。此外，还考察了包容氛围对中介过程的调节程度。通过对在中国韩国工作的农民工及其主管收集的调查数据（N = 386）进行分析，发现农民工的CQ通过增强知识共享对其创新行为产生积极影响。然而，观察到这种间接关系仅对处于强烈包容氛围中的农民工具有显著意义。因此，这些研究结果揭示了潜在的中介和调节机制，从而揭示了农民工CQ在塑造其行为方面的重要作用。本研究为多元文化组织提供了有见地的实践意义，在这样的组织中，文化背景各异的农民工共同工作。
