| Summary: | This paper presents the findings of an empirical study that investigated the relationship
between cross-cultural training (CCT) effectiveness, self-efficacy, and adjustment of
expatriate managers in Asia. Responses of 169 managers from four different national
backgrounds, all currently on overseas assignments in Asia, indicate that the relationship
between CCT effectiveness and adjustment is mediated by an increase in self-efficacy.
Implications of the findings for professional practice and for future research are discussed. |
