| Abstract: | This paper draws upon social identity theory to develop a model that focuses on the role of host country nationals (HCNs) in determining the adjustment of expatriate managers. It is proposed that the socializing behaviors HCNs may display or withhold from the expatriate will affect the adjustment of the expatriate. The model highlights the often-overlooked partners in the expatriate adjustment process and emphasizes the need for MNEs to be cognant of the social dynamics between HCNs and expatriates in the host location. |
