Organizational effectiveness is the efficiency with which the organization can meet its planned objectives. Organizational effectiveness is the concept of how effective an organization is in achieving the outcomes the organization intends to produce (Mitchell, 2013). Managing people from diverse backgrounds is a critical business imperative in a globally located business. High Cultural Intelligence[CI] helps in managing a diverse workforce. CI is the ability to interact, behave and work in cross-cultural situations. Every organization has its unique objectives and culture, so it becomes essential for the organization to follow the organization's vision, mission, and goals on the one hand and keep equilibrium in getting objectives fulfilled, which results in organizational effectiveness on the other hand. Organizational effectiveness is the central part of organizational performance and organizational development, and considered for this study.
