Results of a paired t-test indicated that respondents were significantly more receptive to an expatriate assignment in a culturally similar location than in a culturally dissimilar location. Results of hierarchical regression analyses revealed mixed support for the study's propositions and explained only modest amounts of the variance in the culturally similar (R2 = 22 per cent) and dissimilar (R2 = 20 per cent) models. Limitations of the study, directions for future research and implications of the findings are discussed. | Source Title: | Journal of Organizational Behavior | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/45262 | ISSN: | 8943796 | DOI: | 10.1002/(SICI)1099-1379(199605)17:3<267::AID-JOB748>3.0.CO;2-A |
