Abstract

This paper draws from Ajzen's theory of planned behavior and examines factors influencing an expatriate's intention regarding future international career. Data was collected from 133 respondents about expatriate's perception of his/her task-based and relationship-based acceptance in the host country, the expatriate's satisfaction with host country, self-efficacy and his/her intention to consider future expatriate assignments. We used Bayesian approach to conduct structural equation model. The results indicate evidence suggesting expatriate's perception of task-based group acceptance, self-efficacy and host country satisfaction influence future expatriate career intention. However, we failed to find evidence of the predicted direct effect of expatriate's perception of relationship-based group acceptance on the same. This paper contributes to research by addressing an important gap in the expatriate career literature by examining determinants of future expatriate intentions. Both theoretical and practical implications of the study are discussed.
