Abstract

This article tests the hypotheses that perceived host ethnocentrism will impact negatively on expatriates' work adjustment, host commitment and parent commitment as well as increase the desire to return early from overseas assignments. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed on survey data from 250 international assignees controlling for a wide range of personal, organizational and locational characteristics. As predicted, perceptions of local ethnocentrism had a negative effect on work adjustment and commitment to the host unit, particularly when cultural distance was low. We also found that European expatriates were more likely to react negatively to perceptions of host ethnocentrism than were their American counterparts. In general, there was no support of the hypothesized links between perceived host ethnocentrism and parent-firm commitment or the desire to return early.

外派调整与承诺:东道国-单位待遇的作用

本文检验了东道国民族中心主义感知会对外派人员的工作调整、东道国承诺和父母承诺产生负向影响，并增加外派人员早日回国的愿望的假设。对250名国际外派人员的调查数据进行了层次回归分析，控制了广泛的个人、组织和地点特征。正如预测的那样，对当地种族中心主义的看法对工作调整和对东道国的承诺有负面影响，特别是在文化距离较低的情况下。我们还发现，与美国侨民相比，欧洲侨民更有可能对东道国种族中心主义的看法做出负面反应。总的来说，没有证据支持东道国民族中心主义与父母公司承诺或早日回国的愿望之间的假设联系。
