Listed in Harvard Dataverse

With the globalization, a lot of Taiwanese companies invest their venture in foreign countries to avoid the high rising cost of land and labor, also the shortage of manpower.

Description

During the internationalization process, enterprises devoted to providing an adequate expatriation program for expatriates in order to obtain excellent talents. Some studies indicated that repatriation would have critical influences on overseas job performance.

However, in Taiwan, there are fewer studies about repatriation discussed in the expatriation. Also, Banai and Reise (1993) pointed that organizational involvement is the dimension that has the potential to differentiate among nations, and it is more objective than job performance. Hence, this research is to investigate the effects of cross-cultural training, financial compensation, repatriation, and cross-cultural adjustment on expatriates¡¦ organizational involvement through questionnaires.

Besides, this research will also compare the difference about the factors mentioned above between Taiwanese expatriates in U.S and China. After empirical study, there are some findings and suggestions in this study. With regard to expatriates in China, the parent company could provide them more business knowledge training, better financial compensation, and career planning and development in the repatriation program.

As for expatriates in U.S., the parent company could provide language training in addition. For expatriates, cross-cultural adjustment is the key factor toward organizational involvement. Further, repatriation program has the most important effect on cross-cultural adjustment.

Therefore, the parent company should give expatriates a promise about providing an adequate repatriation program, especially in career planning and development. As regards the timing of repatriation giving notice, it seems not so important for expatriates¡¦ adjustment and organizational involvement.
