Abstract
Global citizenship is a construct that has been explored only modestly among business school graduates. This mixed methods study offers insight into the various dimensions of global citizenship and investigates the predictors of global citizenship. Building on established research, I offer a five-dimension model of global citizenship that includes Skills, Personal Actualization, Professional Actualization, Attitudes, and Knowledge. I used factor analysis in order to confirm the theorized components of global citizenship. Then, I estimated three OLS multiple regression models to explore relational qualities of global citizenship, especially as they relate to business school-sponsored global experiences. Finally, I conducted qualitative interviews to bring further voice to the quantitative findings. This research confirms theorized dimensions of global citizenship and illuminates the important relational aspects of global citizenship, especially as they are relevant to global programs in one particular US-based graduate institution of management education.
