A local perspective to expatriate success

Article Abstract:

Many expatriate human resource policies are such that they favor expatriates over local staff. An inequitable treatment creates tension and less cooperativeness between local staff and expatriates thereby increasing adjustment problems for expatriates. Therefore human resource practices of expatriating organizations should focus on providing equitable compensation for local and expatriate employees and selecting only those expatriates are truly worth the higher pay.
