Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmada kültürel zekanın kariyer yetkinlikleri ve müşteri odaklı hizmet davranışları üzerindeki etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Literatürdeki çalışmalarda kariyer yetkinlikleri ve müşteri odaklı hizmet davranışları bireysel faktörlerle ilişkilendirilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada, kariyer yetkinlikleri ve müşteri odaklı hizmet davranışları üzerinde etkili olması beklenen ve bireysel faktörlerden birisi olarak nitelendirilen kültürel zekâ ele alınmıştır. Araştırmanın kapsamını İstanbul’da faaliyet gösteren 5 yıldızlı uluslararası otel işletmelerinin 306 çalışanı oluşturmaktadır. Otel çalışanlarından elde edilen veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bağımsız gruplar t testi, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi vasıtasıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgura göre, kültürel zekâ ile kariyer yetkinlikleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Bununla birlikte, kültürel zekâ işgörenlerin rol tanımlı ve rol ötesi müşteri odaklı hizmet davranışı sergilemelerini etkilemektedir. Ayrıca işgörenlerin müşteri odaklı hizmet davranışlarının kültürel zekâ skorlarına göre farklılık gösterdiği görülmektedir.
