Q1. Examine the variables that influence performance of expatriates? Discuss the criteria used
for performance appraisal of international employees? While evaluating subsidiary performance
in terms of market competitiveness, what are the constraints that may affect goal attainment?
ANS:-[A]
Considering relatively high expectations set on expatriates going on international assignments,
there are several factors that directly or indirectly influence their performance and productivity.
Earlier authors have categorized the factors into various groupings namely, physiological
responses, cultural shock, ethnicity, cross-cultural communication (Sappinen, 1993; Mendenhall
& Oddou, 1985; Tung, 1998; Bandura, 2002). Since the dynamics and diversity of the work
place where the expatriate is positioned could be quite varied, an expatriate is invariably facing
numerous challenges and issues that are often unexpected by the individual concerned. These
challenges could be broadly classified into three categories: individual, organizational & social
factors. A theoretical model of the multidimensional factors influencing expatriate performance .
