| Abstract: | International human resource experts agree it is imperative for multinational companies to attract, select, develop, and retain employees who can live and work effectively outside of their own national borders. The findings in this study suggest that greater contact with host nationals positively relates to cross-cultural adjustment when an individual possesses the personality trait of openness. The personality characteristic of sociability was also related to cross-cultural adjustment. |
