“…This empirical finding confirmed the empirical findings of most of the extant studies reviewed. It specifically collaborates with the position of Hemmasi and Downes (2013), Demes and Geeraert (2014), Eyoun et al (2016) and Rafiq et al (2019) that distance between expatriates’ home and host countries cultural values computed by Kogut and Singh’s (1988) formula significantly and negatively influences the psychological adjustment of expatriates. The finding also supports the empirical position of Vromans et al (2013) and Bolat et al (2017) that the psychological well-being of expatriates is more promoted in culturally similar countries than culturally dissimilar countries measured in objective or absolute values of the differences between expatriate’s home and host country’s cultural values dimensions (UCV, ICV, MCV and PCV) using Kogut and Singh’s (1988) formula.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between cultural distance and psychological adjustment of expatriates in Nigeria and perceived social supports moderating the relationship. Design/methodology/approach The study used a cross-sectional survey research design. Data were collected through 236 validly filled questionnaires by expatriates working in different industries in Nigeria. The research variables were measured using appropriate validated scales developed by different experts. Data collected were analyzed using frequency, percentages, mean and standard deviation. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to establish the relationships among the variables. Findings The study found that the distance between expatriates’ home and Nigeria on each of the dimensions of cultural values: power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance cultural value, long-term orientation and indulgence negatively influence the psychological adjustment of the expatriates in Nigeria. The study demonstrated that the larger the distance between expatriates’ home and Nigeria's cultural values, the larger the difficulties in the psychological adjustment of expatriates in the country. Practical implications This study provides useful insights and a better understanding to both present and future global human resource practitioners, multinational organizations, international institutions and local organizations operating in Nigeria with a global mindset on the cultural profiles of expatriates that are critical to adjust to working, social interactions and living environments in Nigeria. Originality/value It provides practical guidance to global human resource practitioners and employers on dimensions of cultural values distance between Nigeria and the home countries of expatriates that should be considered when deciding on, searching for, selecting, recruiting and relocating expatriates to work and live in Nigeria.

Streszczenie: W dobie rozwoju elektronicznych środków komunikacji, jakim są Skype, Webex, Teams, za pomocą których można organizować spotkania biznesowe, a także rosnącej popularności krótkoterminowych wyjazdów służbowych pozyskiwanie ekspatriantów stanie się zbędne. Badacze koncentrują się na problematyce adaptacji ekspatriantów, aby pomóc korporacjom w osiągnięciu lepszych wyników na rynku międzynarodowym. Ze względu na coraz większą liczbę przedsiębiorstw międzynarodowych, w których praca wykonywana jest w zespołach złożonych z przedstawicieli wielu narodowości, kultur czy generacji, istotnym zagadnieniem jest jeden z aspektów zarządzania różnorodnością -zarządzanie wiekiem. Dlatego też głównym celem artykułu o charakterze teoretycznym jest charakterystyka adaptacji ekspatriantów różnych grup pokoleniowych w korporacjach międzynarodowych.

“…It should be emphasized that most of the research on the adaptation of expatriates was conducted in Asian countries, including China (Lee & Kartika, 2014;Rafiq et al, 2019;Selmer, 1995;Takeuchi et al, 2009); Japan (Peltokorpi & Froese, 2009;Yamazaki, 2010); South Korea (Froese, 2012).…”

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The article’s primary goal is to identify the factors that contribute to traditional emigrants’ adaptation to foreign postings in international corporations in Poland, with particular emphasis on the role of time. At the same time, the essential intention of this research pilot is to verify the research tool. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The article presents the current scientific achievements in expatriate adaptation, particularly emphasizing the longitudinal dimension. The pilot study results presented in the empirical part were carried out using the case study method, and the research tool was an interview questionnaire. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: To better understand the motives, factors, barriers, and starting points that dynamically occur over time and influence adaptation in different dimensions and areas, Haslberger, Brewster, Hippler 3D model. RESEARCH RESULTS: The main goal of the qualitative pilot study was the initial exploration of the area of expatriate adaptation. The study results fill the research gap by a) using an innovative 3-D model, b) identifying the specifics of this model’s adjustment, importance, and challenges in the international context, and c) showing the crucial role of the longitudinal dimension in the adjustment process. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Few Polish researchers dealing with the issue of emigrants’ adaptation have considered the role of time in this process. It should, therefore, be emphasized that this work is new in Polish literature and fills a research gap. Practitioners responsible for adapting expatriates (AEs), knowing the time needed for an AE to adapt to the delegation country’s culture, attitudes, and behaviors, can more effectively determine the goals the employee should achieve. Therefore, having a tool that indicates facilitating factors, motives, or barriers, they can more consciously prepare a training package before entering the market and adjust its intensity over time.
