Factors influencing the adjustment of women on global assignments
Article Abstract:
There are a number of factors determining success for women on global assignments. It is clear that cross-cultural adjustment will take place more readily if women are supported by their employer and their spouse. Companies must therefore consider how to improve the support of their female expatriates. It seems that company support could be boosted through making available cross-cultural training and relocation help. It was established that high-level women have more positive experiences on global assignments than lower-level expatriates.
