Mapping the criterion space for expatriate success: task- and relationship-based performance, effort and adaptation
TLDR
In this article, an explicit consideration of the criterion space for expatriate success is presented, where expat performance is conceptualized in terms of task completion, relationship building and overall performance.Abstract:
The paper presents an explicit consideration of the criterion space for expatriate success. Expatriate performance is conceptualized in terms of task completion, relationship building and overall performance. These three dimensions are determined by various features of effort regulation: the amount and pattern of personal resources the expatriate spends on behaviours that constitute his or her position. Drawing upon work motivation and withdrawal literatures, we assess effort in terms of withdrawal cognitions, passive task neglect, active task avoidance, time to proficiency and leader-team exchanges. Effort regulation, in turn, is proposed to be a function of three forms of adjustment (cultural, interaction and work) – which have been the default criterion in past expatriate research. Our model is tested using multi-source data from expatriates, their spouses and their work colleagues. Support for the proposed mapping of successive linkages between adjustment, effort (including the often-studied assignmen...read more

You can take it with you: individual differences and expatriate effectiveness.
TL;DR: The authors report the collaborative efforts of 2 research teams that independently investigated the effects of stable personality traits (the Big Five) and specific behavioral competencies (cultural flexibility, task and people orientations, and ethnocentrism) on key dimensions of expatriate effectiveness: psychological adjustment, assignment withdrawal cognitions, and job performance.

Predicting Expatriate Job Performance for Selection Purposes A Quantitative Review
TL;DR: The authors meta-analytically reviews empirical studies on the prediction of expatriate job performance using 30 primary studies (total N = 4,046), and finds that predictive validities of the Big Five were similar to Big Five validities reported for domestic employees.

Going places: roads more and less traveled in research on expatriate experiences
TL;DR: The authors reviewed 25 years of research on expatriate experiences concentrating on expat adjustment as a central construct, and relying on a general stressor-stress-strain framework, and noted major patterns of effects and their implications for how HR managers can facilitate adjustment.

TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.
