Abstract

  • This study investigates expatriate adaptation using a sample of Japanese expatriates in the US. For a comprehensive understanding, home managers in Japan and host managers in the US were also used.
  • This study is unique in that it examines expatriate adaptation through an analysis of the change of a fit between 12 learning skills and the skills demands.
  • The degree of expatriate adaptation increased in accordance with the length of the current overseas assignment tenure in the host country, along with an increase in job satisfaction.
