Developing Ethically & Culturally-Intelligent Leaders Through International Service Experiences

Abstract

Leaders must develop increased capacities of perception, discernment, and moral reasoning to negotiate the complex ethical and economic challenges that emerge from the crossing of cultural and political boundaries. This paper examines the impact of international service experiences on adult development in the domains of moral reasoning and cultural intelligence. Data on moral reasoning level were collected using the Defining Issues Test (Rest & Navarez, 1998). Cultural intelligence data were collected using the Cultural Intelligence Questionnaire (Early & Ang, 2003). Findings suggest that service projects may have an impact on moral development and cultural intelligence in some adult populations.
