Expatriate success may depend on a ?learning orientation?: Considerations for selection and training
提出学习导向是选拔和培训外派经理的重要维度，学习导向强的员工更能适应海外工作，减少外派失败对组织和个人的损失。
To support globalization, managers increasingly are sent to live and work in other countries. An unsuccessful expatriate assignment is costly for the organization and damaging to the individual's career, yet few companies have adequate processes for selecting and training expatriate managers. The concept of “learning orientation” is proposed as a valuable dimension for assessment and training. Employees with weaker learning orientation tend to withdraw from situations that could result in low judgment of performance; those with stronger learning orientation adapt and continue. The described approach can benefit employees and their families and can increase the organization's chance for international success. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
