Abstract

This mixed-method study (820 questionnaires from 12 countries; 30 interviews) examines cross-cultural CMLII. We identify three salient features—async–sync coexistence, uncertain cultural connotation, and divergent media preferences—and test their efficiency drivers. Results show cultural distance reduces efficiency, while media richness and language proficiency improve it; SEM indicates cultural filtering mediates the effects and is moderated by language proficiency. The study offers a validated mechanism model and actionable guidance for cross-cultural digital interaction.
