Abstract

Theory and research findings of expatriate adjustment were examined to gain a better understanding of the adjustment process. Empirical studies have been focused on the failure rates of expatriates rather than on their adjustment capacity in foreign societies. Few studies have attempted to assess the level of adjustment for both American and Japanese expatriates in the same cultural environment. Future studies need to investigate how one group of expatriates can be better-adjusted than another in different cultures, the differences in their adjustment to the different facets of cross-cultural adjustment and the factors that enable one group to outperform the other group.
