Focusing on expatriate management, this volume addresses the following issues: how expatriate performance should be conceptualized and operationalized; what the role of personality is in predicting adjustment and performance; and what the nature of training should be. In addition, it critically examines the state of research in the field of expatriate management from a historical perspective. Contributors to this volume have transferred theoretical and methodological advances in domestic employee management and acculturation to the study of expatriation. Each contribution demonstrates the level of theoretical, methodological and statistical sophistication that is required to comprehend the expatriation phenomenon.

Based on a sweeping, ten country study, The Work-Family Interface in Global Context comprises the most comprehensive and rigorous cross-cultural study of the work-family interface to date. Just as work-family conflict is associated with negative consequences for workers, organizations, and societies, so too can the work and family domains interact positively to enhance or enrich one another. Drawing on qualitative, quantitative, and policy-based data, chapters in this collection explore the influence of culture on the work-family interface in order to help researchers and managers understand the applicability of work-family models in a variety of contexts and further conceptualize work-family interactions through the development of a more universal knowledge.
