abstract
This research aims to determine the impact of cultural intelligence on improving employees' adaptive performance. To do this, the researchers relied on four dimensions of cultural intelligence (metacognitive cultural intelligence, cognitive cultural intelligence, behavioral cultural intelligence, and motivational cultural intelligence). Conducted at the Faculty of Administration and Economics, Maysan University, the study collected the necessary information through a questionnaire prepared for this purpose. The sample consisted of 40 people. The importance of this research lies in the results and recommendations it provides to all organizations, as well as in determining the level of cultural intelligence that contributes to improving the adaptive performance of employees at Maysan University. The study produced a set of results, the most important of which is the existence of a significant positive correlation between cultural intelligence and employees' adaptive performance. It also presents a series of recommendations, including the need for university leaders to focus on developing and defining the dimensions of cultural intelligence for employees through a set of training programs aimed at increasing cultural intelligence, cultural awareness, and intercultural behavior training.
