“…Haslberger, Brewster, & Hippler, 2013 examined the multiple dimensions of expatriate adjustment and looked at expatriate adjustment as a person-environment relationship. They discuss three important dimensions in this context cognitions, feelings, and behaviors and how they related to expartriate adjustment.…”

“…There have been several studies that have examined stress among expatriates as they transition and move to a new country or culture and the challenges they face as they attempt to adopt and adapt to the new environment (Haslberger, Brewster, & Hippler, 2013;Boncori & Vine, 2014) However, these challenges become even greater when they have to adjust not only to a new environment, but to the additional demands of emotional labor on the job. In this study we will examine emotional labor in a culture-specific context among expatriate university faculty by comparing faculty working in their own country and faculty working in another country.…”

Although there have been several studies on expatriate adjustment, acculturation and cultural adaptation to a foreign culture in service-driven occupations, there is a dearth of research in many areas. There have been few studies that have looked at jobs that have high emotional labor in the academic field in a cross-cultural context. This study attempts to fill this gap by examining a high emotional labor occupation -the teaching profession, by looking at two different samples of teaching faculty, in two different countries. Two different groups of faculty from the US one teaching in the US, and one teaching as expatriate faculty in China were compared. Findings revealed significant differences in perceptions of emotional labor, stressors and strains. The implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Literature on expatriate outcomes has great attention from the scholars [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], however more complex and sophisticated analysis is needed especially on different perspectives, additional types of international assignments, and organizations [2]. One of the most recent models is the adjustment-performance relationship model [13], which explores some possible relationships between Performance, Adjustment and Antecedents.…”

Abstract-International assignment has become a significant concern for both MNCs' business and individual's career growth, therefore necessary efforts have to be taken in order to reduce expatriate failure and to ensure expatriate success. This study aimed at explaining the relationship between individual factors and expatriate performance in short-term assignment. It is intended to provide empirical evidence on how personal attributes, management and leadership skills, and language skills influence expatriate performance.Based on 419 sample of international assignees in 23 host countries assignment, this study reveals that management & leadership skills and language skills have direct and positive impact to performance. However, this study could not discover how personal attributes directly influence performance due to the model on personal attributes statistically not significant. Based on these findings, this paper provides discussion, implications for expatriate research, practical implications, and suggestions for further research.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to cross culture training (CCT) literature by exploring the HR managers roles in CCT provision and the reasons affecting the given role enactment. Design/methodology/approach This exploratory study is based on in-depth interviews with 15 Israeli HR managers in charge of the provision of CCT in their respective companies and five interviews with CCT professionals who provide CCT training for a wide range of companies operating in Israel. Findings The study highlights the significant impact of HR managers’ awareness and perceptions of CCT on its provision and discusses a related self-perpetuating cycle of current practice reinforcement that limits the likelihood of practice improvement. Research limitations/implications The limitations of the exploratory design of the study call for further research on HR roles in CCT provision. Practical implications The findings suggest that HR managers partly design and implement practice according to what they believe are unmet expatriate needs and what they perceive as effective HR tools. The authors discuss the practical value of raising their awareness not only of CCT designs and methodologies, but also of the complexities of expatriate adjustment and the opportunities offered by rigorous evaluation of current practice. Originality/value The study departs from the dominant focus in the literature on the content and methodologies of CCT and instead explores the neglected role of HR managers in CCT provision.
