Abstract: Abstract The success of international construction projects depends on the effective performance of construction expatriates. However, cultural issues often hinder their performance in the new overseas working environment. To address this challenge, organizational supports in the process of adaptation and integration are crucial, but often overlooked. This study aims to develop a research model linking cultural intelligence to the individual work performance of construction expatriates by considering other constructs that contribute to this association based on a systematic literature review. Our findings suggest that cultural adjustment plays a mediating role in the relationship between cultural intelligence and individual performance, while perceived organizational support may have a moderating effect. The proposed research model provides a framework for further analysis, enabling organizations to better support construction expatriates in their adaptation and integration process.
