Work experiences, work adjustment and psychological well-being of expatriate employees in Hong Kong

Article Abstract:

Regression analysis techniques were used in recent research into the experiences of expatriate workers in Hong Kong. It was found that role conflict can have a negative impact on how well an expatriate worker adjusts to new experiences, while support from colleagues and role discretion can have a positive impact. There is a need for further research into the impact of adjustment on the psychological well-being of expatriate employees.

Expatriate adjustment and commitment: the role of host-unit treatment

Article Abstract:

Research into the impact of perceptions of host ethnocentrism on expatriates' work attitudes indicates that perceived ethnocentrism is negatively linked with work adjustment and host commitment. It was established that perceptions of a responsive home-country mentor detract from work adjustment. Success in preserving the pre-assignment standard-of-living boosts host commitment, but weakens work adjustment.
