Comparing the success of male and female expatriates from a US-based multinational company

Article Abstract:

It is important to consider the work-value orientations which are connected with the number of host-national women in the workforce and the number of host-national women in management. Research in this area tested four hypotheses regarding the relationship between countries' work values and the percentage of women in the workforce. It was established that countries lower in power distance have a higher percentage of women in management. Countries low in uncertainty avoidance are more likely to have women in the workforce, especially in managerial roles.
