Global mindset was found to be
indirectly predicted by the number
of languages spoken (B = 0.04, p =
0.03) and marginally by psychological
capital (B = 0.10, p = 0.052), but
not by the number of business trips
(via complex global role: B = −0.02,
p = 0.10; via experience abroad: B =
0.01, p = 0.17). These tests of indirect effects further
suggest that learning multiple languages and perhaps
having an increased level of psychological capital
may further lead to a leader having a higher global
mindset as a function of first increasing the leader’s
global role complexity (see Figure 3 for a summary
of the results).
