Abstract
Given that previous literature has mainly focused on cultural intelligence in multicultural teams, we will examine if the positive effect of cultural intelligence is stronger than the influence of emotional intelligence on the performance of multicultural teams. Utilizing a sample of 7,625 individuals in 1,322 multicultural teams, the study examines the effect at individual as well as at team level. In addition, the relationship between the two intelligences is studied as well as the moderation effect of emotional intelligence between cultural intelligence and performance is examined both at individual and at team level.
