Abstract
This study examined anticipatory and in-country individual, job, organizational, and non-work variables and their relationship with work, interaction, and general repatriation adjustment for U.S. managers. The study also examined anticipatory and in-country individual and non-work variables and their relationship with interaction and general repatriation adjustment for the spouses of the managers who were married. Age, total time overseas, social status, and housing conditions were generally related to all facets of repatriation adjustment for both expatriates and spouses. Practical and research implications are explored.
