碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 管理科學系所 / 103 / This study was aimed at exploring the effects of Big Five personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness) of international students and their cross-cultural experiences on their overseas adjustment (general adjustment, interaction adjustment and learning adjustment) using their self-efficacy as a mediating factor of the effects.
A sample of 326 subjects was collected from international students who were studying in Taiwan. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data. The results showed that the international students’ Big Five personality traits had a positive influence on their overseas general, interactional, and learning adjustment. However, the personality trait of neuroticism in the students had a negative influence on the above three types of adjustment.
The results also showed that there was no significant effect from the cross-cultural experiences on the general and the learning adjustment. But there was a positive effect from the experiences on the interaction adjustment. In addition, self-efficacy had a mediating effect on the relationships between the Big Five personality traits and the three types of adjustment. Self-efficacy also mediated the effect of cross-cultural experiences on the interaction adjustment.
Finally, based on the above findings, we proposed managerial suggestions and directions for future research.
