Cultural intelligence (CQ) is a novel concept that reflects the ability of individuals of certain cultures to adapt to the general conditions of a different society. This study aims to explore the relationship between CQ and technology adoption in the form of intention to use the internet. Design/methodology/approach – This quantitative empirical study, based on data from a questionnaire completed by 201 university students, proposes three models to analyse the direct, indirect and moderating influence of the CQ on intention to use the internet. Findings – The study reveals that CQ has an indirect influence on the intention to use the internet. Originality/value – Most research to date has focused on analysing the influence of CQ in the cross- cultural field. This work contributes to the development of the concept of CQ as a decisive factor in a globalised world and analyses its impact on the internet, a tool that is fundamental at all levels.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry for the Economy and Competitiveness (ECO2012-39217) and the research project P11 SEJ8104 of the Junta de Andalucía.}, publisher = {Emerald}, title = {The influence of cultural intelligence on intention of internet use}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1108/SJME-04-2018-0024}, author = {Rey Pino, Juan Miguel and Coves-Martínez, Ángel Luis and Sabiote Ortiz, Carmen María}, }
