Abstract

The influence of family on expatriates and their families' international assignments experience have been long discussed in various disciplines. We undertake a systematic review of 151 articles on expatriates' families published between 2006 and 2020 in peer-reviewed academic journals in Business and Management, Medicine, Psychology, and Decision Sciences. Adopting a step-wise approach to conduct the review and using Leximancer, we analyze the literature and categorize it into five major themes: family's influence on expatriates; expatriation's influence on expatriate families; family and individual adjustment in the expatriation process; organizational practices concerning family issues in expatriation; and expatriate families' social interaction. This mapping, thematizing and systematic organizing of the literature allows us to identify research areas that have been overpopulated and others that have not received sufficient scholarly attention. By doing so, this study contributes to the literature by providing a multidisciplinary perspective on the issue of expatriates' families. We also present a research agenda to advance knowledge in the field and make recommendations for practice.

外籍人士的家庭:系统的文献回顾和研究议程

家庭对外派人员及其家庭国际外派经历的影响早已在各个学科中得到讨论。我们对2006年至2020年间发表在商业与管理、医学、心理学和决策科学等同行评议学术期刊上的151篇有关外籍人士家庭的文章进行了系统回顾。采用渐进式方法进行审查，并使用lexximancer，我们分析了文献，并将其分为五个主要主题:家庭对外籍人士的影响;移民对移民家庭的影响;移民过程中的家庭和个人调整;关于外籍家庭问题的组织做法;以及外籍家庭的社会交往。这种对文献的映射、主题化和系统组织使我们能够确定那些人口过剩的研究领域和那些没有得到足够学术关注的研究领域。通过这样做，本研究通过提供关于外籍人士家庭问题的多学科视角，对文献做出了贡献。我们还提出了一个研究议程，以推进该领域的知识，并为实践提出建议。
