The purpose of this study is to validate Ozdemir and Cizel’s (2007) model of expatriate management. The researchers tested the framework developed initially by Ozdemir and Cizel (2007) by relating the four stages of the expatriation process with the performance and commitment of expatriate managers.,The research population consists of expatriate managers from five Anglo-Saxon countries. A total of 110 surveys were collected. However, due to missing data and internal inconsistencies (i.e. random answering), six surveys (5.5%) were deleted resulting in a sample size of 104.,Ozdemir and Cizel’s four-stage process model (2007) has been established as a valid, useful model for creating an expatriation management system. Few expats interviewed indicated their selection was systematized or that they received training in advance of the assignment. Families of these expats received even less consideration despite the fact that many expat failures result from family failure to adapt to the new culture. Very few companies managed the repatriation process at all. Given the substantial correlations between components of Ozdemir and Cizel’s model and performance and commitment, these finding are no less than troubling.,As companies are becoming increasingly international, the number of expatriates working around the world is growing. While the management of expatriates has been studied extensively in North America and Europe, research into the expatriate process in the UAE is still in its infancy. The present study endeavors to begin to fill this research gap.

外派管理程序

本研究的目的是验证Ozdemir和Cizel（2007）的外派人员管理模型。研究人员测试了Ozdemir和Cizel（2007）最初开发的框架，将外派程序的四个阶段与外派经理的绩效和承诺联系起来。研究人群包括来自五个盎格鲁-撒克逊国家的外派经理。总共收集了110个调查。但是，由于缺少数据和内部不一致（即随机回答），因此删除了六项调查（占5.5％），导致样本量为104。Ozdemir和Cizel的四阶段过程模型（2007年）已被确立为有效，用于创建外派人员管理系统的有用模型。很少有受访者表示他们的选择被系统化，或者他们在任务前接受了培训。尽管许多移民失败是由于家庭适应新文化的失败导致的，但这些移民的家庭受到的考虑甚至更少。几乎没有公司管理遣返流程。鉴于Ozdemir的组成部分与Cizel的模型与绩效和承诺之间存在密切的关联，这些发现不少于令人不安。随着公司变得越来越国际化，在世界各地工作的外派人员的数量也在增加。尽管在北美和欧洲已广泛研究了外派人员的管理，但对阿联酋外派人员程序的研究仍处于起步阶段。本研究致力于填补这一研究空白。
