Multinational enterprises continue to rely heavily upon expatriates
as part of their global workforce. These expatriates, whose exact
employment contract may take different forms, are assigned to help
them develop global skills as well as to foster knowledge transfer.
But managing this expatriate workforce is extremely complex,
requiring a questioning of assumptions and sensitivity to new
social and cultural dynamics. This book sets out to examine the
problem of expatriate management through an I/O Psychology lens.
Each chapter draws upon the expertise of scholars from around the
world to provide insights into the latest research findings and
remaining needs, pertaining to a wide variety of issues. The
contributors of this book review the current state of the research
of the issue at hand and then make recommendations for where the
new frontiers of the research should be in the coming decades. This
volume covers four sets of issues pertaining to expatriate
management and global mobility in depth. First, the different
decision points organizations must make about assigning someone to
an overseas location for some period of time; second the different
categories of employees in the multinational corporation and their
unique characteristics and challenges; third, the various issues
and implications of managing a globally mobile workforce; and
fourth, the unique contexts of global mobility. Overarching future
research themes are identified that lay out the research agenda for
the coming decades. By bringing together key research, this book
aims to help I/O psychologists understand, explore, and identify
new ways of contributing to the understanding of the issues
involved in managing an expatriate workforce. Incorporating
state-of-the art I/O psychology research in this unique context
bears the promise of yielding important new paradigms and
practices.
