Drawing from social capital theory of career success and intelligence theory, this study investigates the influence of expatriate manager-local subordinateguanxion expatriate managers’ career performance and the contingency role of cultural intelligence. Using multi-source data from a sample (N = 154) of expatriate managers in China, our results show that expatriate manager-local subordinateguanxipositively influences expatriate career performance, and that this relationship is positively moderated by expatriates’ cultural intelligence.
