The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between the key point of expatriate policy and expatriate performance. Family factors could cause an interference effect on the relationship between expatriate policy and expatriate performance. A questionnaire survey was used for subsidiary of American, Japan and German in Taiwan. A total of 250 questionnaires were collected from the survey, 133 valid responses were received for statistical analysis.
Statistical results found that there are positive relationships between expatriate policy and expatriate performance. Five dimensions of expatriate policy (Selection, Cross-Culture Training, Welfare, Repatriation and the Support of MNE) and four dimensions of expatriate performance (contextual, technical, expatriate-specific, and overall performances) all showed positive correlations. On the interference effect of family factors, this study found support on expatriate policy as well as expatriate performance. However, there are two dimensions (family went with expatriate manager, family did not go with expatriate manager) that was this study defined. The family went with expatriate manager represented family factors were found that there were positive relationships between expatriate policy and expatriate performance. But the family didn’t go with expatriate manager represented family factors were found that there were not statistically significant. A comparison of American, Japanese and German companies found difference on the policy of expatriate. The researcher hope this study not only can realize the relationships between expatriate managers’ family factors on expatriate policy and expatriate performance, but also provide effective suggestions to enhance MNEs business operating performance.
