Abstract

Abstract The article explored factors influencing the adjustment of expatriates working in hotels in Dubai. Given the high number of expatriates in Dubai and the importance in ensuring their suitable adjustment – so as to avoid an emotionally and economically damaging failed expatriate assignment – research is needed to understand what elements affect their adjustment process. This study focuses on the individual’s motivation to expatriate and the type of expatriate; self-initiated, organizational, or trailing spouse. Results suggest that expatriates who chose to expatriate to improve their career or earn more adjusted better than those who expatriated to “escape” poorer conditions back home.
