碩士 / 東吳大學 / 國際貿易學系 / 95 / The trend of globalization as well as reform and liberalization by China has attracted a tremendous number of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) making investments in Mainland China. In an effort to capture market potentials, an increasing number of MNEs have assigned third-country nationals (TCNs) with identical cultural and racial backgrounds plus professional management expertise from Taiwan to high caliber positions in Mainland China.
The main purpose of this research is to study factors, such as individual, job, organization, and nonwork, and their impacts on adjustment in the overseas setting for TCNs of MNE. In addition, overseas adjustments in terms of work, interaction and general dimensions are explored and thereon their relationships with job performance are investigated. Using a sample of ten high level executives who are TCNs from Taiwan and assigned to Mainland China by MNEs, I conducted in-depth interviews to collect information for documentary analysis. The findings include:
1. TCNs' past experiences of frequent international business traveling and training plus extrovert personality have positive effects on adjustment in the overseas setting.
2. TCNs' job autonomy and clear role definition exert positive effects on adjustment in the overseas setting.
3. Cross-cultural training and social supports provided by MNEs have positive effects on adjustment in the overseas setting for TCNs.
4. Adjustments by family members of TCNs show positive effects on adjustment of expatriates in the overseas setting for TCNs.
5. Adjustments in the overseas setting for TCNs show positive effects on their job performance.
6. International assignments of TCNs dispatched by MNEs have positive effects on the international career development of TCNs.
