Implementing AI-assisted cross-cultural training for hospitality interns and its boundary conditions: the development of cultural intelligence and career-related outcomes
Su-Ying Pan, Yuetian Zhang, Yao-Chin Wang
This study examines outcomes of AI-assisted cross-cultural training (AI-CCT) for hospitality interns, drawing on constructivist and transformative learning theory. Using data from 456 hospitality interns in China, the authors show that positive evaluation toward AI-CCT is associated with higher cultural intelligence, and that perceived ease of use and internship length moderate how cultural intelligence flows into career curiosity, career confidence, and career-related outcomes.
