International Human Resource Management

The expansion of the global business and the realization of possible increased profits from global markets has created the need for expatriates. Thus, society has developed into a global environment and has provoked much debate as to how beneficial it is to employ expatriate managers or employees in global businesses. Assignees with adjusted spouses and with children accompanying them tend to be more adjusted and less likely to think about quitting the assignment. Family factors were found important predictors of a successful expatriation and repatriation experience. Managers’ consideration of their families in their career sense-making can be reflected in managers’ career management for their families, time management for their families, and improvement of the situation for their spouses. It is noteworthy that failures of international assignments have a negative affect both on expatriates and organisations. It has been determined that the success of expatriation and repatriation process and international career of employees are mostly determined by personal individual and organisational factors. The purpose of this study is to expand understanding of the dynamics of work-family conflict experienced by expatriates and repatriates. Researcher is trying to explore factors affecting on adjustment issues for family during expatriation & repatriation. Researcher considered Expatriates and Repatriates from MNCs based in Pune for this research study.
