Özet:

 This study offers an integrative perspective for the interrelations between culture, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution strategies within the context of expatriation. Based on a dataset collected from expatriates living in Turkey, this study aims to uncover the mediating role of emotional intelligence on the relationship between cultural dimensions and conflict resolution strategies. Data was analyzed through PLS-SEM software program. The findings of the study show that while emotional intelligence fully mediates the relationship between Confronting and Vertical Collectivism, Horizontal Individualism and Forcing, Vertical Individualism and Smoothing conflict resolution strategies, the rest of the findings vary between partial and no mediation. This study highlights the mediation effect of emotional intelligence and the predictive power of culture at individual level on emotional intelligence and conflict resolution strategies within the context of expatriation. While previous research has focused on emotional intelligence and culture as antecedents of conflict resolution strategies, studies that analyze these variables through a wholistic view are rare. Although this study has some limitations, it highlights how culture at individual level is influential on individual emotional intelligence and conflict resolution strategies. This wholistic approach provides the insight that through cultural orientations can shape individuals both emotional intelligence and preference of conflict resolution strategies which shows the importance of cultural orientations for expatriates..

 Bu çalışma, göç bağlamında kültür, duygusal zeka ve çatışma çözüm stratejileri arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkiler için bütünleştirici bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.Türkiyede yaşayan göçmenlerden toplanan bir veri setine dayanan bu çalışma, kültürel boyutlar ve çatışma çözüm stratejileri arasındaki ilişkide duygusal zekanın aracılık rolünü ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Veriler PLS-SEM yazılım programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, Duygusal Zekanın Yüzleşme ve Dikey Kolektivizm, Yatay Bireycilik ve Zorlama, Dikey Bireycilik ve Yumuşatma çatışma çözüm stratejileri arasındaki ilişkiye tam olarak aracılık ederken, bulguların geri kalanının kısmi ve hiç aracılık olmadığı arasında değiştiğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, göç bağlamında duygusal zekanın aracılık etkisini ve kültürün duygusal zeka ve çatışma çözüm stratejileri üzerindeki bireysel düzeydeki öngörücü gücünü vurgulamaktadır. Önceki araştırmalar, çatışma çözüm stratejilerinin öncülleri olarak duygusal zekaya ve kültüre odaklanmış olsa da, bu değişkenleri bütünsel bir bakış açısıyla analiz eden çalışmalar nadirdir. Bu çalışmanın bazı sınırlamaları olmasına rağmen, bireysel düzeyde kültürün bireysel duygusal zeka ve çatışma çözme stratejileri üzerinde nasıl etkili olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Bu bütünsel yaklaşım, kültürel yönelimler aracılığıyla bireylerin hem duygusal zekalarının hem de çatışma çözme stratejileri tercihlerinin etkilenebileceğine dair içgörü sağlar ve bu da kültürel yönelimlerin göçmenler için önemini göstermektedir.
