Expatriate Experiences Survey
Expatriate Experiences Research Survey Invitation
As organizations continue to globalize, the importance of the expatriate position to multinational organizations also continues to increase. We are currently conducting a study meant to better understand the unique stressors faced by expatriates and how multinational organizations might help foster expatriate development and career success. As such, this research attempts to explore the methods by which expatriates deal with interpersonal stress resulting from cultural differences, and how those coping techniques influence important outcomes (e.g., burnout, stress, networking ability, etc.)
To accomplish our research goals, we are asking expatriates to complete a 25-minute survey that broadly assesses perceptions of cross-cultural adjustment, relationships developed with others, and various skills and competencies that are related to the international context.
In exchange for your time, we will be placing each study participant’s name in a lottery. The winner of this lottery will have $1000 donated to a charity of his/her choice in his/her name. In addition, we would be happy to provide you with the report once data collection has terminated and the study is readied for publication.
In order to participate, you must a) currently be on an international assignment as a corporate employee for a minimum of one year in a country outside of your own, and b) have worked with local employees during this assignment. If you do not meet these criteria, we appreciate your consideration, but you do not need to proceed.
More information about the study can be found on the introduction page of the survey. If you would like to participate please click this link to take the survey.
If you have any questions prior to taking part, please feel free to contact either researcher: Dr. Brian Whitaker (whitakerbg@appstate.edu; 828.262.7445) or Dr. Rick Cotton (cottonrd@appstate.edu; 828.262.6230) of Appalachian State University Department of Management.
