There appear to be an almost limitless number of ways in which expatriate effectiveness can be assessed. One popular approach to this is to look at expatriate adjustment. There are three different types of expatriate adjustment: general adjustment, interaction adjustment, and work adjustment. General adjustment is associated with adjusting to general non‐work conditions of the foreign environment. Interaction adjustment is associated with adjusting to interactions with host‐country nationals. The final factor, work adjustment, is associated with adjustment to the new work environment. Expatriate adjustment has been associated with intentions to stay in a foreign assignment by both expatriates and their spouses (Black and Stephens, 1989). In addition, meta‐analytic research has demonstrated that it is linked to expatriate performance, job satisfaction, and withdrawal cognitions (Bhaska‐Shrinivas et al., 2005; Mol et al., 2005). Based on this research evidence, it appears that adjustment is clearly an important outcome related to expatriate success.
