TL;DR: A review of empirical studies that directly investigated the overseas adjustment of expatriate managers revealed four dimensions that were related to successful expat acculturation: (1) the self-oriented dimension; (2) the others-oriented dimensions; (3) the perceptual dimension; and (4) the cultural-toughness dimension.
Abstract: A review of empirical studies that directly investigated the overseas adjustment of expatriate managers revealed four dimensions that were related to successful expatriate acculturation: (1) the “self-oriented” dimension; (2) the “others-oriented” dimension; (3) the “perceptual” dimension; and (4) the “cultural-toughness” dimension. The study's implications for expatriate selection and training procedures in multinational corporations are discussed.
