摘要:Through extending the psychological approach to threats, we advance a threat-contingency model to understand how two domains of host-country threats-symbolic and realistic-drive multinational enterprises (MNEs) to deploy parent-country nationals to manage their foreign subsidiaries. When faced with symbolic threats related to ethics and morals in a host country, MNEs act rigidly and conservatively, increasing the likelihood of deploying parent-country nationals as executives in foreign subsidi...

摘要:Expatriates typically perform boundary-spanning to address challenges related to functional, linguistic, and cultural variations within multinational enterprises (MNEs), which in turn influences their relationships with host-country employees. Integrating social capital and role theory perspectives, this study explores the relational dynamics between expatriates and host-country employees by developing a novel theoretical framework that examines the double-edged effects of expatriates' boundar...

摘要:While there is substantial literature on global mobility, roles in the global integration of multinationals are not limited to internationally mobile staff. We focus on 'globalizing actors', defined as those within multinationals who are involved in global norm-making. Using interview-based qualitative data, we categorize individuals' involvement in global norm-making according to the function within norm formation in which they are involved, their source of influence, and their geographical a...

摘要:Global employee mobility is a very important concern for multinational enterprises (MNEs), as such individuals are critical strategic human capital resources for MNEs. Ensuring that expatriates (one type of globally mobile employees) maintain high organizational commitment and assignment completion intentions (attachment to international posting) is a critical consideration for MNEs' human resources management. However, we have a very limited understanding of how the configurations of structur...

摘要:All globally mobile employees (GMEs) share a common propensity to experience loneliness when they relocate to a new country where they have yet to establish social connections. To better understand how GMEs combat this feeling, we offer a conceptual process model grounded in conservation of resources (COR) theory to describe how they achieve social integration. The process begins with an assessment of GMEs' desired versus perceived social relations, with most perceiving a relational deficiency...

摘要:While general foreign language proficiency is shown to provide important power and career-related advantages to employees in organizations, surprisingly little is known about how and why context-specific language capabilities (e.g., accents) in the form of linguistic capital, influence skilled migrants' (SMs') access and accumulation of social and economic capital in multinational corporations (MNCs). In this paper, we apply the theory of practice (Bourdieu in Outline of a Theory of Practice, ...
