Adjustment and work outcomes of self-initiated expatriates in the United Arab Emirates: Development and testing of a model
基于焦虑/不确定性管理理论和组织支持理论，研究了自发性外派人员如何通过角色清晰度和工作适应来提升任务绩效和组织公民行为，对276对上下级数据进行了结构方程模型分析。
Drawing upon anxiety/uncertainty management (AUM) theory and organization support theory (OST), we developed and tested a model on how globally mobile talent – in this instance, self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) - stay and perform well in the organization. We collected data from 276 superior-subordinate dyads, which were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Our results suggest that role clarity mediates the influence of perceived organizational support and work adjustment. Furthermore, we found that work adjustment mediates the influence of role clarity on task performance and organizational citizenship behavior. We draw out the implications for advancing theory and practice in expatriate management.
