Role of Employee Pro-activeness in the Repatriation Process: A Study of Indian IT Industry

Abstract

Repatriation experience is attributed to many factors, a phenomenon much lesser studied compared to expatriation. Considered as merely coming back home could be extremely stressful as given to understand through previous studies and while many factors could attribute to the same, many practitioners argued that it could be repatriate’s own attitude towards pro-activeness that is an increasingly important component of the repatriate transition outcome. The study includes the feedback of such repatriates from the IT companies and understands the behaviour they were involved in while returning back home. It further establishes the role of pro-activeness and provides a set of suggestions for repatriates returning home.
