This research aims to understand whether the respondents faced reverse culture shock upon reentry and establish the relationship between RCS and demographic factors of the respondents. A cross-sectional survey design is used to fulfill the objectives of the study. Primary data were collected from 136 respondents by completing an online questionnaire adapted from Seiter and Waddell (1989). The data is analyzed by the use of SPSS 25 using independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results indicate that the Business Administration/ MBA international students who participated in exchange programs and went back home do not differ significantly in their RCS regarding gender, age, education degree level, length of trip, and time since returning home. Finally, the results related to the CQ and RCS show that there is a medium significant positive relationship between RCS and total CQ, motivational, behavioral, and cognitive CQ, while there is a weak non-significant positive relationship between RCS and metacognitive CQ.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessReverse culture shockBusiness Administration/MBAExchange programsCultural intelligence, and Demographic factors.Article7271100
