Expatriate partners’ personality and its influence on acculturation into a new cultural context
Despite the vital role that trailing partners play for successful expatriation, we still know very little about what actually causes partners to thrive and integrate effectively into the new cultural context. However, as indications have emerged that the personality of partners could be key to a favorable acculturation trajectory, we set out to explore this further. More specifically, we assess the role of expatriate partners’ dispositional affec…
The effects of positive affectivity on expatriate creativity and perceived performance
This study set out to investigate the effects of positive affectivity (PA) on expatriate creativity and perceived performance in the host country workplace. Most importantly, the study examined the moderating role of perceived cultural novelty in the relationship between PA and creativity and its consequences for the indirect association between PA and perceived performance as mediated via creativity. Data from 297 expatriates in Denmark were col…
Adult third culture kids
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how interaction adjustment influences personal development for expatriates and to examine whether the effect differs between adults that have, and have not, lived abroad during their adolescence. Design/methodology/approach The authors use survey responses from 424 business expatriates in Asia distinguishing between adult third culture kids (ATCKs) that have lived abroad during their adolescence and…
Practice transfer in MNCs
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to further the understanding of how the transfer and adoption of headquarters (HQ)-mandated work practices are shaped by ongoing struggles among the multiple actors of a subsidiary. This paper suggests an alternative perspective for theorizing and researching the management practices and structures that emerge in the face of HQ demands for divergent practice change in subsidiaries, namely, a theory of practice…
Global Mobility
Global Mobility usually covers physical international mobility for work purposes by white‐collar or skilled workers or professionals. Global Mobility reflects changes in the corporate world, using various alternative forms of global employment, as well as changes in today's mobile society, where movement of people across national borders is becoming increasingly common.
Work engagement and intercultural adjustment
While engagement seems to have promising prospects for predicting organizational behavior in domestic organizations, few scholars have included this in cross-cultural management research. We use survey results from 640 self-initiated expatriate academics in Greater China to study the relation between work engagement and intercultural adjustment. We focus on expatriates in Greater China because in terms of economy, this is a fast-growing area and …
Context matters
Self-initiated expatriates
Purpose – As it has been suggested that adult third-culture kids may be more culturally adaptable than others, they have been labelled “the ideal” expatriates. The purpose of this paper is to explore the adjustment of self-initiated expatriate academics in Hong Kong, comparing adult third-culture kids with adult mono-culture kids. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use survey results from 267 self-initiated expatriate academics in Hong Kon…
Cognitive and affective reasons to expatriate and work adjustment of expatriate academics
Despite the apparent increasing internationalization of the academic world, research on expatriate academics has remained negligible compared to the literature on business expatriates, which has increased rapidly in recent years. This is regrettable, since it is not obvious to what extent research findings regarding business expatriates also are applicable to expatriate academics. To examine cognitive and affective reasons to expatriate and work …
Group conflict and faculty engagement
In educational settings, substantial scholarly interest has focused on student engagementas an antecedent for educational development and positive school outcomes. Verylimited research, however, has focused on the engagement of academic staff members.This may be a crucial oversight because engagement has been argued to lead to moresatisfied, more productive and healthier staff. In this study, based on a sample consistingof 489 members of multicul…
Marital status and work outcomes of self‐initiated expatriates
Purpose Most of the fast‐growing literature on business expatriates has focused on organizational expatriates (OEs) who have been assigned by their parent companies to the foreign location. However, there is much less research on self‐initiated expatriates (SIE), who themselves have decided to expatriate to work abroad. The purpose of this paper is to provide knowledge on this under‐researched group of expatriates. Design/methodology/approach A q…
Individuality and mass consumption in charter tourism
Charterturisme som en produkt
In recent years charter tourism as a convenient and cost-effective mode of travelling has been declining. This may be related to dominating societal ideals promoting self-actualization, individual exploration and spontaneity. However, not much is known about the development of ideals and practices among charter tourists. By use of ethnographic fieldwork methodology, including pre-departure and post-travel telephone interviews, this exploratory st…
Multicultural organizations
There is growing evidence that the use and management of language have important implications in international organizations. However, still only few empirical studies have been conducted in this theoretical field. Especially there has been a lack of quantitative insights into how language affects group processes and group performance in multicultural organizations. This paper outlines the results from a questionnaire directed electronically towa…
Age and expatriate job performance in Greater China
Purpose As opposed to the predominant belief in the West, in Chinese dominated societies there may be a positive relationship between age and perceived possession of high quality personal resources. That attitude towards old age may carry over to expatriates in Chinese societies. This may have a positive impact on expatriates’ job performance. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the association between the age of business expatriat…
Sociale inklusions- og eksklusionsprocesser blandt danske udstationerede
Mange internationaliseringsteorier har beskrevet udstationering som et middel til udvikling af menneskelige kompetencer gennem mødet med individer, der har en anden kulturel baggrund. Sociologisk og antropologisk etnicitetsforskning viser dog, at mødet med det fremmede er en mere kompleks proces, end det ofte antages i teorier om udstationering og kulturmøde. Med inddragelse af disse teorier argumenterer vi for, at grænser mellem det, som opfatte…
A critical analysis of intercultural communication research in cross‐cultural management
Purpose Functionalist models of intercultural interaction have serious limitations relying on static and decontextualized culture views. This paper sets out to outline newer developments in anthropological theory in order to provide inspirations to a more dynamic and contextual approach for understanding intercultural communication research in cross‐cultural management (CCM). Design/methodology/approach The paper analyzes the established approach…
Cultural similarity and adjustment of expatriate academics
Rethinking Social Identity Theory in International Encounters
In a globalized business environment, interaction across linguistic boundaries is becoming a normal part of everyday life. In these encounters language differences may affect the formation of social identities among organization members. While studies based on Social Identity Theory perceive the link between identity and language to be linear, this article takes a different approach. By drawing on anthropological theories on ethnic identity it is…
Obstacles to Innovative Interaction
Cultural diversity has often been described as yielding competitive advantages like, for example, innovation resulting from the combination of different cultural perspectives. However, there are also substantial organizational problems related to managing cultural diversity, which need to be overcome in order for diversity to be a useful asset. Based on an empirical study of Danish multicultural companies, this article argues that the understandi…
Kultur og konkurrence
Toke Bjerregaard and Jakob Lauring: Cultural Diversity and Innovation: how do these relate to each other? Innovation and exploitation of cultural diversity have become key concepts in the political, scientific and business oriented discussions concerning Denmark’s international competitiveness. It is generally assumed that innovation in Denmark is not only driven by research, but also by knowledge obtained from partners, employees and users. In i…
Rethinking the Harmonious Family
Social harmony and stability have been described as almost inborn aspects of Korean corporations. After the East Asian economic crisis of 1997, however, most Korean organizations faced new demands for increased productivity and competitiveness. The fragile balance between social harmony and individual competition led, in some Korean corporations, to social negotiation and struggles to define the aim and character of the collective effort. By desc…
