- W73264962 abstract "In a globalized world, multinationals (MNCs) compete intensely for commerce supremacy. To manage international operations, MNCs depend heavily on the performance of expatriate managers, and the need for expatriates continues to rise, particularly in mainland China, which now represents the top expatriate destination. However, sharp cross-cultural differences exacerbate traditionally high levels of attrition among expatriates working in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Today, most organizations see China as a hardship country presenting the greatest adjustment challenges to expatriates and their dependants. Nevertheless, despite the breadth of the expatriation literature, very little is known about specific Chinese cultural particularities leading to higher rates of turnover among American business expatriates (ABEs). Through semi-structured phone interviews with a panel of 14 informants, this exploratory study identified a series of Chinese cultural factors leading to the culture shock of ABEs working in the PRC and having a negative impact upon their general, work and interactive degrees of socio-cultural adjustment. Findings indicate that informants had indeed been exposed to the four phases of the culture shock phenomenon, which confirms a strong association between the culture shock and U-Curve theoretical perspectives. The study also uncovered that fullyacculturated expatriates seem negatively affected by phenomenon unreported in literature on the U or W-Curve models of adjustment. The phase is characterized by self-doubt, second thoughts and feelings prompting highly-adapted expatriates to reconsider the worthiness of their foreign sojourn. I call such a phase nostalgia." @default.
