ANTECEDENTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WORKPLACE STRAIN DURING EXPATRIATION: A CROSS‐SECTIONAL AND LONGITUDINAL INVESTIGATION
研究外派人员的心理工作压力，发现家庭特征交互影响压力水平，压力与绩效呈倒U型关系，且工作适应正向预测后续绩效。
In this study, we examined nonlinear/interaction effects associated with the antecedents and consequences of psychological workplace strain, using cross‐sectional ( N = 165) and longitudinal ( N = 133) data collected from Western expatriates in China. The results of this study indicate that family characteristics interact to affect the level of psychological workplace strain experienced by expatriates. In addition, we find an inverse u‐curve relationship between psychological workplace strain and supervisory rated job performance for both cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses. Finally, the empirical results lend support to the hypothesized positive relationship between work adjustment measured at Time 1 and job performance measured at Time 2. Implications for expatriate adjustment research and practice are discussed.
