| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to outline an efficient way of socializing foreign country national (FCN) employees into the domestic organization. First, the theoretical foundation of an appropriate frame of reference for the internalization of the corporate code of ethics by FCN employees is developed using the theoretical perspective of transaction cost economics (TCE). Second, the variables grounded in the TCE perspective are used to build the framework for acculturation of FCN employees to the code of conduct in the domestic organization. Third, the beneficial impact of the suggested framework on the ethical behavior of FCN employees in the domestic organization of a MNC is examined. In conclusion, implications for further research are discussed. |
