▼ Expatriates are important parts of transnational companies’ (TNC) foreign subsidiary staffing programs because TNCs heavily rely on expatriates to achieve coordination/control and knowledge transfer in their subsidiaries (Boyacigiller, 1990; Tan & Mahoney, 2006). Thus, expatriates’ job performance is an important factor directly contributing to the success of a subsidiary. Although research has focused on the effects of various dispositional and situational characteristics, job attitudes, and cross-cultural adjustment on expatriates’ task performance (e.g., managerial behaviors, Black & Porter, 1991; the Big Five, Dalton & Wilson, 2000), it underexplored the effects of these variables on expatriates’ OCB performance. Therefore, I aimed to fill this research gap by exploring the effects of various distal (e.g., Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, POS) and proximal (e.g., job satisfaction, work adjustment, organizational commitment) antecedents on expatriates’ OCB performance. In addition, I investigated the possible mediating effects of expatriate adjustment and job attitudes and moderating effect of perceived similarity of host-county culture (i.e., cultural novelty) on the relationship between expatriates’ OCB performance and its antecedents. In the pilot study, I constructed the Cross-Cultural Work Similarity Scale, which measures the novelty of host-company work settings. In the main study, I explored the direct and indirect (through expatriate adjustment and job attitudes) effects of distal predictors on expatriates’ self- and coworker-rated OCBI (organizational citizenship behavior directed at individuals) and OCBO (organizational citizenship behavior directed at the organization) performance. First, the results showed that Agreeableness and collectivity orientation were important predictors of self-rated OCBI, whereas Conscientiousness was of self-rated OCBO; and interaction adjustment, host country language skills, and Agreeableness were important predictors of coworker-rated OCBI and Conscientiousness was of coworker-rated OCBO performance. Second, mediation analyses based on coworker-rated OCB data and isolated mediation analyses based on self-rated OCB data supported the partial mediation effects of expatriate adjustment. Third, the results did not support the possible moderating effect of cultural novelty. These findings highlighted the relative importance of dispositional characteristics (e.g., Agreeableness, Conscientiousness) and expatriate adjustment in predicting expatriates’ OCB performance. Furthermore, the result supported Ilies, Fulmer, Spitzmuller, and Johnson’s (2009) findings regarding the differential validity of personality predictors of OCBI and OCBO performance.

▼ With the trend of globalization, working abroad or in cross-cultural teams has become more and more common. This research tries to discuss the relationships of oneâs personality and cultural intelligence, and their impact on adjustment, aiming to find the key to effective cross-cultural adjustment. Applying the year 2014 ACT Program as the case example, this research conducted in-depth interviews with 12 out of 32 students. There are 12 findings after analyzing the collected data: 1) When evaluating their own CQ, Europeans and North Americans are not confident in their cognitive CQ, while Taiwanese/ Chinese students have lower scores on motivational & behavioral CQs. 2) Communication and different working styles are the two greatest challenges in cross-cultural teams. 3) Past international experiences do affect oneâs performance in his or her future cross-cultural team. 4) After spending some time together, similar interests and values become more important than whether the people are from the same culture for them to naturally get along. 5) Degree of Individualism in the country affects oneâs tendency of staying within his own cultural group. 6) The U-Curve theory: the third to fourth month abroad is the turning point from the honeymoon stage to the culture shock stage for expatriates. 7) Hofstedeâs Individualism and power distance: Compared to Austrians and Canadians, Taiwanese are far more indirect and value hierarchy within a society. 8) Food is an important issue when you have to live abroad for a long period of time. 9) After the immersion of cross-cultural practices, people tend to have a broader view and become more open-minded. 10) Personality could affect oneâs CQ: S type people tend to have lower motivational and behavioral CQ. 11) Personality has an important influence on cross-cultural adjustment. 12) Motivational CQ has an important impact on work adjustment.

▼ Expatriate studies have primarily focused on cross-cultural adjustment. Meanwhile job performance of expatriates, a critical factor contributing to the success of organisations, has received limited attention. Previous research has acknowledged that cultural issues are one of the main factors associated with expatriate success. The recently developed concept, cultural intelligence (CQ) is a dynamic cultural competency that potentially sheds new light on complex expatriate literature. The primary objective of the present study is to examine the influence of CQ in facilitating expatriate job performance. In addition, the study seeks to investigate the mediating effects of cultural adjustment, job satisfaction, and cultural effectiveness, as well as the impact of social support on expatriate adjustment. A sample of 226 Western expatriates from nineteen countries working for MNCs and resident in China completed the survey. Structural Equation Modelling was employed to test a model illustrating the causal relationship between key elements of expatriate effectiveness. The results of the study indicate that CQ is a significant predictor for cross-cultural adjustment and cultural effectiveness, which in turn affect job performance. Additionally, perceived organisational support was found to be a strong predictor of job satisfaction. Somewhat surprisingly, no direct relationship was found in the present study between job satisfaction and job performance. This research contributes to expatriate literature by providing empirical evidence that CQ is a critical and direct predicting factor for cultural adjustment and effectiveness, and further, indirectly impacts work outcomes such as job satisfaction and job performance. This study provides international human resources management suggestions that MNCs should consider CQ as one of the key selection criteria for selecting potential expatriate candidates. Furthermore, the present study asserts that it is critical for MNCs to provide continuing cultural training and organisational support in order to assist expatriates adjust to local culture and thus deliver job performance, as well as enhance their job satisfaction.

▼ This study investigates expatriate English teachers’ cross-cultural adjustment in Taiwan. Cross-cultural adjustment theories and the differences between Chinese and Western culture are reviewed. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected in order to develop the framework for the study. The process was examined across three facets of adjustment: general, working and interaction with host nation. The study was based on the framework of Black, Mendenhall and Oddou (1991) and develops an empirical cross-cultural adjustment model for native English- speaking expatriates who work in Taiwan as English teachers. The framework was successfully implemented by means of questionnaire and interview data and a literature review. The key findings of this study are: 1. Expatriate English teachers’ job satisfaction, age, previous crosscultural experience and their motivation for or purpose in coming to Taiwan are the key factors which affect their intention to stay in Taiwan. 2. Expatriate English teachers’ Mandarin or Taiwanese language ability has significant effects on their daily activities and social life outside work in terms of general adjustment. 3. Cross-cultural training for expatriate teachers could improve their living conditions in Taiwan in terms of general adjustment. 4. Expatriate teachers who possessed an undergraduate degree had more difficulties in their relationship with school management. 5. The total time expatriate teachers had spent living in Taiwan had some effect on their job satisfaction and adjustment in relation to interacting with the Taiwanese. Based on the empirical findings of this study, some recommendations for language education institutions and Westerners who are working or planning to work as English teachers in Taiwan are as follows: 1. Those who are planning to go to Taiwan to work as English teachers should receive some cross-cultural training and gain basic Mandarin or Taiwanese language skills before departure. An undergraduate degree is the basic qualification but an English teaching certificate or higher degree is strongly recommended. 2. English language education institutions should offer expatriate teachers cross-cultural training which includes basic local language skills, general information about living and working in Taiwan and the differences in the education system, teaching methodology and management style between Taiwanese and Western cultures. 3. When recruiting expatriate teachers, it is recommended that English language education institutions should avoid those who are including a trip to Taiwan as part of wider Asian travel and who are likely to stay in Taiwan for a relatively short time.

▼ Japanese companies are starting to rethink the conventional Japanese way of recruiting and trying to implement new tactics instead, due to the pressure of growing globalized environment and the shrinking home market in recent years. Some of the leading companies are actively seeking to recruit new employees from all over the world in order to develop a more flexible and international workplace. Because of this trend and phenomenon, more and more Taiwanese workers have individually decided to live and work in Japan. The purpose of this research was to better understand the new phenomenon happening between Taiwan and Japan, and the contextual account of factors influencing Taiwanese self-initiated expatriates (SIE) who make their own decision to move and work abroad by interviewing their cross-cultural adjustment experiences. During the course of the qualitative research, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 qualified candidates who had at least 3 months working experiences. The research findings are shown below: 1. Because the level of Japanese language proficiency among Taiwanese SIE is well above average, the adjustment in general is âwell adjustedâ. 2. The culture of âtatemae and honne" and negative attitudes toward foreigners has a negative impact on interaction with Japanese people. 3. Japanese people who have had prior overseas experience or intimate contact with Taiwanese has a positive impact on interaction adjustment. 4. The Japanese national culture of uncertainty avoidance, masculinity and power distance has a negative impact on SIEâs work adjustment. 5. The SIE who had previous Japanese company- related working experiences has a positive impact on cross-cultural adjustment. 6. The SIE who had a regional interest in Japanese culture is well adjusted in interacting with Japanese people. 7. The SIEâs motivation has a positive impact on related cross-cultural adjustment.

▼ There is paucity of research unpacking South Africa (SA) as a receiving country for migrant teachers and how they have adjusted to the new work environment (Manik, 2011b). This necessitates research into this area. The main aim of the study was to document migration and work experiences of migrant Zimbabwean teachers in the eThekwini Municipality and to ascertain whether they are adjusting to their teaching craft in SA. The research also sought to find out the opportunities and challenges they encountered in their craft in eThekwini. The information gained in this study, it is hoped, will shed light on how current policies and working environment is viewed by migrant Zimbabwean teachers. The data was drawn from a qualitative study that used face-to-face interviews and telephonic interviews. Snowball sampling was used for sampling since the target population was somewhat hidden or hard to reach ,the sample size consisted of fifteen Zimbabwean teachers and ‘thematic analysis was used to analyse data (Clarke and Braun, 2013; Vaismoradi, Turunen, & Bondas, 2013). The findings indicated that the majority of the migrant Zimbabwean teachers moved to SA during the peak of economic crisis in Zimbabwe. The push factors for migration were economic instability, political instability and unfavourable living conditions (Gebre 2007; Stanojoska and Petrevski, 2015). Zimbabwean teachers attested that they were not able to meet the basic requirements for their families hence they decided to move to SA. The challenges encountered by Zimbabwean migrant teachers included unfriendly colleagues, ill-disciplined learners, difficulties in acquiring and renewal of permits, lack of job security, unfamiliar teaching environment, lack of induction, difficulties in communication, and expensive accommodation. They cited educational advancement as an opportunity since most of them were continuing with their education and working at the same time. Ill-disciplined learners and difficulties in communication not only affect the work performance of migrant teachers but also hamper the progress of learners. Some seemingly xenophobic attitudes prevalent in the work place manifest in the non-acceptance of English as a medium of communication among most stakeholders in the school community that include; colleagues, parents, support staff and learners. This hinders communication and deters migrant teachers from performing their job optimally. This research concluded that more research on strategies that improve the adjustment of migrant teachers to the new working environment is needed. Possible strategies may include introduction of induction programs in schools for both migrant teachers and local stakeholders and the offering of Zulu lessons.

▼ International migration trends have heralded a marked increase in intercultural contact, creating a greater need for effective cultural competency in both inter- and intra-cultural situations. The current research programme, positioned within the field of acculturation psychology, examined a specific behavioural aspect of cultural competency known as sociocultural adaptation. Defined as an individual’s acquisition and expression of culturally appropriate behavioural skills used to negotiate interactive aspects of a new cultural setting, an in-depth examination of the sociocultural adaptation construct was provided. Three studies addressed issues concerning the review, revision, and expansion of work on the topic of cross-cultural behavioural competency. Study 1 offered a meta-analytic review of the correlates or antecedents of sociocultural adaptation. Results emphasised the importance of individual differences, such as personality characteristics and motivation, in relation to adaptation difficulties. Suggestions were also provided for future theoretical and applied research regarding how demographic (e.g, age, gender), situational (e.g., language proficiency), and individual differences (e.g., cross-cultural empathy) components relate to and influence an individual’s successful cross-cultural adjustment. Study 2 examined the operationalisation of behavioural competency through revision of an existing measure of sociocultural adaptation (the Sociocultural Adaptation Scale or SCAS) and investigated five adjustment domains: Ecological, interpersonal, personal interests and community involvement, language, and professional/work adjustment. The final study sought to corroborate the factor structure of the revised SCAS and explored the effects of migration motivation and perceived discrimination—two underrepresented variables in the acculturation literature—in relation to cross-cultural adjustment using path analysis techniques. Direct linkages were found between migration motivation and positive psychological outcomes, and behavioural competency and discrimination were found to have significant mediating effects on the relationship between these two variables. The limitations and contributions of these studies are discussed in relation to the existing acculturation psychology literature, and new avenues for theoretical and applied applications of the findings are suggested.

▼ This study explores the psychological process that Vietnamese family members go through to adjust to the caregiving role for their relatives with dementia. Adopting constructivist grounded theory, 30 face-to-face, semi-structured interviews, including 10 follow-up interviews, were conducted with 20 Vietnamese primary family caregivers of relatives with dementia from the National Geriatric Hospital in Vietnam. The study results reveal that Vietnamese family caregivers held limited understanding of dementia. They used a mixed explanatory model, combining both folk (e.g., dementia as normal aging) and biomedical approaches (e.g., dementia as a brain-related disease) to explain causes of dementia. Family cohesion and responsibility are highly valued, leading to their decision to voluntarily undertake the role of primary caregiver, and to delay decisions to seek help outside the family, regardless of the multiple burdens they experience. Most importantly, the data reveal a theory of a transactional model that explains the psychological process through which Vietnamese family caregivers go through as primary caregivers. The transactional model refers to the mutually reciprocal interactions between caregivers and their environment. This model illustrates the core psychological adjustment process as an iterative cycle of four stages (Experience of the symptoms and hands-on caregiving activities; Acknowledgement of hardship and changes of the self in caregiving; Experiment with strategies for providing care to the relative and strategies for self-care; and Acceptance of the caregiving situation and role). Caregiver personal factors (demographic and relationship characteristics with care recipients; personal beliefs and commitments in caregiving; and personal history of caregiving and coping with past adversity) and structural factors (cultural values and norms; social support; and social pressure) interact with each other to impact their psychological adjustment process. By attending to the nexus of individual experiences, cultural context, and the transactional relationship between caregivers and their environments, this research may provide an important new framework for examining the transition into the caregiving role more generally. The specific results regarding the role of the ‘self’ in caregiving and acceptance significantly contribute to the existing literature examining the adjustment process of family caregivers. Not only do these results have implications for cross- cultural studies, they can also inform intervention development targeting resilience for diverse family caregivers in a broader context.

Actualmente, considerando a crescente globalização dos mercados, a internacionalização das empresas constitui uma vantagem competitiva. Assim, surge a necessidade de deslocar gestores altamente qualificados para países estrangeiros, com o objectivo de apoiarem o crescimento e consolidação do negócio no estrangeiro. É fundamental que as empresas estejam conscientes de que a deslocação de gestores para o estrangeiro implica não só alterações na vida profissional destes, mas, principalmente, alterações na sua vida pessoal. É imprescindível garantir a adaptação cultural dos colaboradores expatriados à envolvente do país de destino da expatriação, considerando que o choque cultural e a não adaptação cultural podem implicar o insucesso da expatriação, sendo esta uma situação que acarreta elevados custos para as empresas, monetários e não monetários, e que estas deverão evitar. Assim, as empresas devem focalizar os seus esforços na selecção de colaboradores que evidenciem elevada inteligência cultural e uma grande capacidade de adaptação e abertura de espírito. Para além deste aspecto, a formação intercultural aplicada aos colaboradores expatriados poderá constituir um factor facilitador na adaptação cultural. Para a verificação destes pressupostos, recorreu-se ao estudo de caso das práticas de selecção e formação intercultural da Empresa Alfa, através da realização de entrevistas a oito colaboradores e ao responsável pela área de expatriados para a recolha de informação, que posteriormente foi analisada através da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Posteriormente, foram apresentados os resultados obtidos e as respectivas conclusões, salientando que a família constitui um factor facilitador da adaptação cultural e que a formação intercultural é desvalorizada.

Nowadays, given the increasing globalization of markets, the internationalization of enterprises is a competitive advantage. Thus arises the need for highly skilled managers to move to foreign countries with the aim of supporting the growth and consolidation of business abroad. It is essential that enterprises be aware that the displacement of managers abroad involves not only changes in their professional life, but mainly changes in their personal life. It is essential to ensure the cultural adjustment of expatriate employees to the environment of the host country of expatriation, whereas the culture shock and non-cultural adaptation can result the failure of expatriation, which is a situation that involves high costs for enterprises, monetary and nonmonetary costs, which they should avoid. Thus, enterprises should focus their efforts on the selection of employees who demonstrate high cultural intelligence and a great adaptability and openness mind. Beyond this, the cross-cultural training applied to expatriate employees may be a facilitating factor in the cross-cultural adaptation. To check these assumptions, it was used…

This thesis examines quantitative data on adjustment in work and non-work domains for a sample of Mexican skilled migrants in Australia. While the literature on adjustment in situations of international mobility has expanded in recent decades, the specific study of skilled migration has lagged behind, despite the fact that it accounts for a growing sector of the globalised workforce. This study addresses that gap, furnishing new data on a specific group of skilled migrants in Australia and offering a robust theoretical framework for its interpretation. Dawis and Lofquist's (1984) Minnesota Theory of Work adjustment is employed as a guide for developing a framework to understand adjustment. Black and Stephen's (1989) influential model of tripartite adjustment, including work, non-work and interaction adjustment, is used to identify the types of adjustment examined. The proposed framework includes demands-abilities (D-A) fit and needs-supplies (N-S) fit in both work and non-work environments as predictors of adjustment, with the additional variable of social support. Intention to leave Australia is considered the outcome moderated by these predictors. In its first three chapters, this thesis presents an introduction to skilled migration, the theoretical underpinnings for the understanding of migrants' adjustment and the methodology applied for the three-wave longitudinal study. Detailed explanation of the sample and discussion of the challenges in surveying small and geographically-dispersed populations precede the three empirical chapters. Cross-sectional analyses show support for the proposed model, demonstrating that fit at work, fit with the culture and social support by host nationals (Australians) relate to the tripartite model of adjustment proposed by Black and Stephens (1989). Qualitative data indicate that Mexican skilled migrants consider the most challenging aspects of adjusting to their work and non-work life in Australia to be finding their first job, making friends and networking, having their immediate family a long way away and having difficulties with Australian English. Longitudinal analysis examines the mediation effect of adjustment in the relationship between P-E fit work, P-E fit culture and support from Australians and the three types of adjustment. Drawing on data collected over three waves, the results demonstrate that neither PE fit work nor support predicted adjustment across time. Furthermore, the mediational effect of adjustment only applied…

Relatório de Projecto Mestrado em Gestão

A presente tese foi desenvolvida no âmbito do Mestrado em Gestão do ISCTE – IUL Business School, tem como objectivo a análise da adaptação intercultural dos intervenientes no processo de mobilidade internacional, mais especificamente na perspectiva dos profissionais deslocados no estrangeiro, tentando conhecer melhor as suas dificuldades de adaptação cultural, profissional e pessoal e as suas opiniões sobre todas as fases percorridas desde a saída do país de origem, a adaptação ao país de destino e o apoio dado pela organização que os incumbiu de desenvolverem uma missão internacional, a partir da estratégia corporativa de mundialização do Santander. A análise detalhada da adaptação intercultural destes profissionais surge da necessidade da apresentação de conclusões e recomendações que poderão auxiliar as empresas a optimizarem os seus planos de gestão internacional de pessoas, além de permitir a detecção e correcção dos erros mais frequentes cometidos ao longo do processo. O acompanhamento das carreiras destes profissionais no exterior é fundamental para que a empresa possa recuperar o investimento efectuado, evitando regressos prematuros por falta de planeamento e monitorização. No caso específico do Banco Santander Totta, as conclusões retiradas da literatura estudada e do questionário de opinião cultural colocado aos profissionais do banco deslocados no estrangeiro a desempenharem funções directivas e técnicas, permitem a definição de uma estratégia de gestão internacional que enfatiza a importância da complementaridade dos planos profissional, económico, familiar e pessoal inerentes ao processo de expatriação. O sucesso das missões internacionais é possível através da criação de um plano estratégico coerente e eficiente que coloca em primeiro lugar a gestão internacional de pessoas, dado que os recursos humanos destacados para o estrangeiro são o core de todo o processo.

The main objective of this thesis, integrated within the scope of the Masters in Management of ISCTE – IUL Business School, is to assess the analysis of cross-cultural adjustment of all the role players in the international mobility process. More specifically through the analysis of the international managers perspective, trying to understand their difficulties of cultural adjustment, on the professional and personal levels, and their perception of the process, since the moment anticipating their departure, until the arrival and adjustment to the host country. On the other hand, it’s important to understand the extension of the support given by the organization to these professionals, attending the globalization corporate strategy of Santander. The detailed analysis of these professionals cross-cultural adjustment arises from the need to advise companies to optimise their management plans in the expatriation process, allowing the detection of misunderstandings and the due amendment of the most frequent mistakes that arise during this process. Monitoring their careers is essential to ensure that…

▼ This study aimed to examine the relationships between job resources at various levels, including (a) an individual level–positive psychological capital (PsyCap); (b) an interpersonal level–perceived supervisor support, perceived subordinate support, and perceived family support; (c) an organizational level–perceived organizational support; and (d) a societal level–perceived community support, and work performance in the context of an expatriate assignment. The mediating effects of cross-cultural adjustment (CCA) and work engagement on the relationships were also examined. Three theories, conservation of resource theory, job demands-resources model, and spillover theory guided this study. The variables and the Korean cultural context are systematically reviewed to develop research hypotheses. An online questionnaire survey was implemented to collect data, including 12 translated instruments into Korean. The sample size was 438 Korean expatriates in 32 countries. Descriptive statistics, reliability, correlation, common method variance, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and bootstrapping were used in this study. The results of the analyses indicated that the hypothesized conceptual model was adequately supported by the results of this study. In the path analysis, PsyCap was associated with all dimensions of CCA. While perceived supervisor support was related to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and general CCA, perceived subordinate support was associated with work performance, work engagement, and interaction CCA. Perceived family support was related to task performance, counterproductive work behavior (CWB), and work engagement. Perceived organizational support was related to OCB and all dimensions of CCA. Perceived community support was associated with interaction and work CCA. General CCA was associated with work engagement, CWB, and withdrawal behavior. Interaction CCA was associated with task performance and OCB. Work CCA was related to work engagement. Work engagement was associated with task performance and OCB. The findings of this study overall supported the selected theories and related research. The significance of this study includes new insights and a deeper understanding of the relationships between multiple job resources and outcomes in the context of an expatriate assignment, which is an under-explored research area in HRD. The findings also provide several significant theoretical contributions to HRD and important practical insights for multiple stakeholders.
