The positive effects of cultural intelligence (CQ) and perceived inclusion in culturally diverse contexts are welldocumented,
but the relationship between these constructs has not been explored despite them sharing common
themes. We examine the relationships between individual-level CQ, perceived inclusion, and perceived cultural
diversity in a sample of 925 individuals working in culturally diverse groups. Our results showed that individuals’
CQ predicts their perceived inclusion in workgroups. Moreover, individuals’ perceived inclusion in
workgroups is related to further CQ development in these individuals, and this relationship is stronger when
individuals perceive greater cultural diversity in their workgroups. These findings extend research on factors
contributing to individual differences in CQ and perceived inclusion in workgroups. We discuss implications for
enhancing perceived inclusion and CQ in culturally diverse workgroups.
