“…Expatriate adjustment (Puck et al ., 2017; Kumar et al ., 2019) has been shown to be a key determinant of expatriate performance. In other words, the more an expatriate feels adjusted in the new country/culture, the better he/she is likely to perform on the job (Bhaskar‐Shrinivas et al ., 2005).…”

It is well established that expatriates need support from host country nationals (HCNs) to successfully adjust in their new location, and subsequently perform well in their jobs. Drawing on a sample of 149 Indian nurses in the United Kingdom, this two‐phase study illustrates how expatriate‐HCN interactions unfold over time (two years). To do this, we draw upon social identity theory and show that effective expatriate‐HCN relationship building (i.e., perceived categorization and perceived values similarity) lead to HCN support and, subsequently, expatriate adjustment. Results confirmed that perceptions of categorization and value similarity significantly impacted HCN willingness to offer support. We also find that expatriate age, education level, and time spent in the host country significantly impact adjustment. We discuss theoretical and practical implications and offer suggestions for future research.

“…While critically crucial for expatriation's success, the adjustment process has a complex and multidimensional nature, identified along with three facets: general, interaction, and work adjustment (Black, 1988;Black & Stephens, 1989). Antecedents and consequences of expatriate adjustment have been frequently studied (see Takeuchi (2010), or Puck, Holtbrügge & Raupp (2017) for extensive overviews).…”

“…In this paper, we have highlighted our objective to examine work-related antecedents of the expatriate adjustment process. However, we could not cover all the factors referring to the professional role, such as job level, role discretion, and role clarity, which might be of interest (Puck, Holtbrügge & Raupp, 2017). As Zhang and Oczkowski (2016) elaborate, an individual's job position may reinforce the perception of power bases, according to the power distance theory (Carson et al, 1993;Hofstede, 2001;Schwartz, 2006).…”

This paper studies expatriate adjustment of diplomats as a polar case, addressing non-MNE expatriates from Turkey with a three-stage, multi-method research design. We focus on how professional socialization, work environment, and pre-departure preparation influence expatriate adjustment in diplomats. Our study also has developed a series of theoretical models on pre-departure training, international experience, and perceptions of diplomats, and the dimensions of diplomats' professional socialization based on our multi-stage and multi-method empirical study. In conclusion, we discuss our models' applicability to similar professional and organizational settings with strong professional norms and high job standardization levels. We also suggest further issues for researchers willing to study different professions and expatriate adjustment.

“…Examination of the thread discussion and relevant literature suggests that, in the context of newcomers' labour market integration, adjustment and integration in the local labour market can influence each other (Awais Bhatti et al, 2014;Farh et al, 2010;Puck et al, 2017;Qureshi et al, 2017;Sambasivan et al, 2017;Singh and Mahmood, 2017;Takeuchi, 2010;Van Bakel et al, 2017). Studies suggest that a better adjustment in the new country's environment can help newcomers better integrate and perform in the local labour market (Awais Bhatti et al, 2017;Salgado and Bastida, 2017;Sambasivan et al, 2017;Singh and Mahmood, 2017).…”

“…For instance, in the study of 108 Spanish expatriate managers, Salgado and Bastida (2017) found that adjustment positively influenced expatriate effectiveness in the new country. Extant research also suggests that integration in the local labour market can also help newcomers better adjust to the new environment (Farh et al, 2010;Puck et al, 2017;Qureshi et al, 2017).…”

The Role of Online Discussion Forums in Newcomers' Labour Market Integration in Canada

This dissertation explores the phenomenon of increased use of online discussion forums by newcomers to Canada to access labour market knowledge. Drawing on extant literature on social support, knowledge exchange, and online technology affordances, I examine the role of online discussion forums in newcomers' labour market integration, through an inductive content analysis of 574 discussion threads. Results of this study suggest that the role of online discussion forums is to provide knowledge resources, in the form of information and advice support, which help newcomers make migration decisions and manage their expectations and preparedness, which in turn has the potential to help newcomers with adjustment and labour market integration in the new country.Lastly, I would like to thank and dedicate this dissertation to my parents for their endless patience, encouragement and optimism.iv
