Abstract

Skills, previous experience and relevant knowledge Expatriate adjustment is strictly linked to expatriate selection, as recruiting the best people for foreign assignments could improve the rate of those who manage to adjust and avoid turnover or early repatriation Caligiuri, Tarique and Jacobs (2009) note how being qualified and performing in one country does not necessarily imply success abroad, ever in the same role. Given that expatriate performance and adjustment is influenced by a number of factors including personality, language competence and prior international experience (see for instance Hechanova Beehr and Christiansen, 2003; Bhaskar-Shrinivas et al., 2005; Mol et al. 2005), it seems necessary to carefully consider selection processes both for standard and self-selected expatriates.
