ABSTRACT
This article reports the concurrent predictive validity of a new Intercultural Business Communication Competence Scale (IBCCS) involving three dimensions: cognitive ability about intercultural business communication situation (CB), business English linguistic proficiency (LP), and intercultural business communication motivation (CM). Survey data were collected with 120 Chinese international business practitioners. It was found that the subjects’ intercultural business communication competence (IBCC) appeared to predict the three dimensions of job performance (JP): task performance (TP), interpersonal facilitation (IF), and job dedication (JD). In the three facets of IBCC, CM emerged as significant predictor of the three dimensions of JP. The present study provides more validity evidence for the IBCCS and extends the existing research on the relationship between communication competence and JP to intercultural business context.
