Repatriate Research Study - Request Date: 1/25/2007
Required Criteria for participation:
Individuals who have expatriated (as a corporate employee) for a minimum of one year to a country outside of their own. Following the assignment, participants will need to have returned to the organization that sent them on the international assignment.
Explanation and Outline of Study:
My research is attempting to reveal the
gap between communication from the home organization with expatriates,
and, consequently, the negative affects it has on them upon return.
To accomplish this I am searching for participants who have expatriated
(as a corporate employee) for a minimum of one year to a country
outside of their own. Following the assignment, participants will
need to have returned to the organization that sent them on the
international assignment.
The twenty minute survey assesses their perceptions regarding the
amount and type of communication you had with the home organization,
cross-cultural adjustment, satisfaction and intentions to leave
the organization after repatriation. Data compiled from your responses
will be kept strictly confidential at all times, and no identifying
information will be obtained. I will also provide a written report
of the studies findings with recommendations to anyone who would
be interested.
I hope that you will find this type of research useful and helpful
to encourage the participation of you or anyone you know that might
be interested. The study was originally intended for an American
sample, but has now been opened to gather information from repatriates
from all countries. Therefore, if you did not repatriate back into
a North American company please complete the demographics questions
as best as you can.
