Abstract

This study tests a four-factor model proposed by Caligiuri and Cascio (in press) for predicting the cross-cultural adjustment of female expatriates. The four factors tested in this paper were family support, personality characteristics, organizational support and host nationals' attitudes towards female expatriates. Structured phone interviews with thirty-eight American female expatriates from US-based companies were conducted. The responses were content analysed and regression was conducted. The results suggest company and family support are significantly related to cross-cultural adjustment. Thus, suggestions are given for future research on female expatriates using the theoretical model of social support. Practical recommendations for how to maximize the likelihood of success for women on global assignments are also given.

影响妇女在全球任务调整的因素

本研究检验了Caligiuri和Cascio(已出版)提出的预测女性外派人员跨文化适应的四因素模型。本文测试的四个因素是家庭支持、人格特征、组织支持和东道国对外籍女性的态度。对38名来自美国公司的美国女性进行了结构化的电话采访。对调查结果进行内容分析和回归分析。结果表明，公司和家庭支持对跨文化适应有显著影响。因此，本文对未来运用社会支持理论模型对女性外派人员进行研究提出了建议。还就如何最大限度地提高妇女在全球任务中取得成功的可能性提出了实际建议。
