Escaping the rut: Bridging research on expatriate and organizational newcomer adjustment
通过整合外派人员与组织新员工适应的文献，提出一个动态研究框架，旨在促进两领域交叉融合，为外派管理研究提供新视角。
To ‘escape the rut’ of narrowly focusing on expatriate adjustment as a psychological state, we look to the literature on the adjustment of organizational newcomers. From this perspective, we extend theoretical and empirical concepts regarding dynamic social and proactive development processes into the study of expatriate adjustment. Our integrative review of both literatures provides the basis for a new, dynamic research framework as well as promising avenues for future research on expatriate adjustment and insights for the organizational newcomer literature. We aim to enrich expatriate management research and to contribute to cross-fertilization between the two disciplines.
