description This study offers an integrative perspective for the interrelations between culture, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution strategies within the context of expatriation.

Data was analyzed through PLS-SEM software program.

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.
