摘要：

This paper proposes a new construct ‘contextualized domain learning’ and defines it as the process of knowledge creation that integrates the knowledge acquired in the new cultural context with domain expertise. It is hypothesized to play a key mediating role in explaining the curvilinear effects of cultural knowledge and distance on expatriates’ task performance and job creativity. Data from 366 expatriate-supervisor dyads working in 51 Chinese multinational companies provided strong support for such mediation effects. Moreover, we found U-shape relationship between cultural knowledge and contextualized domain learning and inverted U-shape relationship between cultural distance and contextualized domain learning in particular, cultural metacognition enhanced the negative effect of half-cultural knowledge on contextualized domain learning. The negative half-knowledge effect and the positive moderate cultural distance effect influence expatriate performance and job creativity via contextualized domain learning. These findings significantly enrich literatures on organizational learning, cultural intelligence and cultural distance and provide new insights on expatriate management.
