摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to add to knowledge on the environment of self-initiatedrnexpatriates and the importance of family in determining expatriate retention. It seeks to explore thernrole of family in an environment vastly different to that of previous research, one where expatriates arernoutnumbering citizens four to one. Further, the paper aims to explore familial adjustment differencesrnthat emerge amongst the different demographic segments within this expatriate majorityrnenvironment.rnDesign/methodology/approach - The analysis is based on survey data obtained from 364rnself-initiated expatriates. Beyond a thorough demographic analysis providing additional background,rndata to test hypotheses were analyzed using SPSS and, where suitable, independent samples t-test orrnone-way ANOVA.rnFindings - Evidence was found of what can be described as an environment easing expatriaternadjustment as well as questioning the impact of many of the problems previously identified inrnliterature on expatriates. Findings show an environment where some of the stressors associated withrnliving abroad have been mitigated and family has more or less become a motivation to stay rather thanrnto leave. In addition, the demographic analysis of expatriate faculty adds to knowledge about thernglobalization of higher education.rnPractical implications - Definitions of what constitutes a hardship posting for expatriates mayrnneed to be revisited, taking into account national demographic characteristics. Current thinking on thernexpatriate family should also consider different settings where family may actually be a motivation tornremain.rnOriginality/value - This paper provides a new perspective, as previous literature suggested familyrnto be almost exclusively a reason for expatriate difficulties. Further, little focus has been made onrncountries where expatriates represent a large share or the majority of the population such as in severalrnof the Arabian Gulf countries.
