Abstract
The present study examined the relationship between expatriate adjustment, perceived organizational support, and the moderation of perceived organizational support on expatriate adjustment with strategic thinking, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior after talents return from their international assignment to their home country. 83 employees who returned from an international assignment less than two years ago filled out an online questionnaire and assessed the degree of expatriate adjustment and perceived organizational support while on assignment and the degree of strategic thinking, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior upon return. The results showed that expatriate adjustment was positively related to organizational citizenship behavior, whereas expatriate adjustment was not significantly related to strategic thinking and organizational commitment. Additionally, the relationship between perceived organizational support as well as the moderation of perceived organizational support on expatriate adjustment and strategic thinking, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior were non-significant. This study sheds light on the importance of understanding the beneficial outcomes derived from international assignments in talents.
