碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 商學研究所 / 99 / The purpose of this study is to explore which factors will affect employees’ expatriate willingness, including the potential impact of "extraversion and openness personality", "career commitment" and "kinship support" on expatriate willingness. Besides, "social support" was examined as possible moderating factor.
Using structured questionnaires, a diverse sample of 598 full-time employees drawn from a variety of organizations was surveyed. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that "extraversion and openness personality" and "career commitment" were positively associated with expatriate willingness. However, "social support" was negatively associated with expatriate willingness, which was opposite from the assumption in this study. Besides, as for the moderating effects of social support, it moderates the relationship between "extraversion and openness personality" and expatriate willingness. However, "social support" had no significant moderating effect of "career commitment" and expatriate willingness. Finally, this study also found out that the factors which influence expatriate willingness had significantly different in gender. For male, the most important factor was "career commitment". However, "career commitment" was not the only factor for female, personality played a more important role in expatriate willingness.
According to our findings, we propose that it is important for enterprises which have expanding plan to overseas to recruit employees by using Big－Five makers screening out candidates of extraversion and openness personality, and with higher career commitment.
