It reflects the fact that the income generated from the employment is invested in children'shuman capital.Further analysesclarified thatthe effect of the mother's employment ties with the effect of her level of education.

During
transition from a familiar environment to a strange environment, people would
encounter with different challenges in an intercultural environment. They would realize the behavior patterns,
attitudes and cultural values which are acceptable in their own familiar
environment, may not be accepted in other environments. In order to reduce the
uncertainty caused by cultural differences, individuals should be aware of cultural
diversity and should reinforce the ability to communicate with people from
different cultures in their boost. These types of behaviors emanate from
people’s cultural intelligence and can be an indicator for the ability to adapt
to a new cultural environment.
The purpose of this study is to consider the role
of cultural intelligence in cross-cultural adjustment and job performance in
organizations. After reviewing the theoretical literature, the conceptual model
is developed. Data is collected through questionnaires and based on the results
of the data analysis, cultural intelligence, culture shock and cultural
adjustment are presented as factors affecting performance in organizations.
Finally, based on considering aspects of each concept, practical suggestions
for improving performance in organizations are presented.
Cultural intelligence, culture shock, cross-cultural adaptation and performance.
