Host Country National Reactions to Expatriate Pay Policies: a Model and Implications
研究东道国员工何时会将外派同事作为比较对象，并因此感到相对剥夺，同时强调国家文化的作用，对跨国企业外派管理有实践启示。
We examine the referent selection process of host country national (HCN) employees. We outline the conditions under which they are more likely to select expatriate colleagues as comparative referents and suggest that, when this occurs, they are likely to experience relative deprivation. We also highlight the role of national culture in the process. Our model shifts the focus of overseas assignments research from the expatriate to the HCN, and it also has important practical implications for multinational enterprises sending employees overseas.
