When Does Decision Autonomy Increase Expatriate Managers' Adjustment? An Empirical Test
基于全球酒店业187名外派总经理和24名总部高管的调查数据，研究决策自主权对外派经理适应的影响，以及全球整合压力和母公司运营经验的调节作用。
To enhance understanding of expatriate adjustment, we examine the effect of the decision autonomy afforded to expatriate managers on their own adjustment as well as the moderating effect of global integration pressure. We further investigate the mitigating effect of a parent company's operational experience with a particular foreign subsidiary on this relationship. We examine these issues using survey data from 187 expatriate general managers and 24 corporate headquarter executives working in the global hotel industry. The results of the study support the hypotheses postulated. We discuss implications of these findings.
