This document discusses factors that affect the success rates of expatriate workers. It argues that how well the families of expatriates adjust to the host country has the biggest impact on whether the expatriate completes their assignment. Families have difficulty adjusting when they lack social ties, support systems, and training. Providing counseling, international schools, and networking opportunities for families can help with adjustment and in turn improve expatriate success rates. Limitations include the difficulty of changing personality traits that influence adaptability.
This document discusses dual career couples in the context of expatriation. It begins with defining dual career couples as both partners pursuing independent careers, being highly educated with upward career orientations. It then addresses challenges such as social ties between expatriates, stress from linked lives between partners, and issues with trailing spouses. Potential solutions discussed include recruiting candidates considering family life stages, dual career assistance like job placement for spouses, and family-oriented workplace policies around leave, childcare and flexibility. The conclusion emphasizes family readiness and adaptability as key challenges as dual career couples become more common.
Abstract
Generation Z is born and raised with the social web, they are digital centric and technology is their identity. This generation will be entering in the companies in the coming years but little is known of this generation about their characteristics, needs, attributes and work style. They seem to have different attitudes towards work then the previous generations. Without proper understanding of this generation, organizations will find difficulties to hire and retain them for the sustainable growth of the organizations. By understanding them, the companies can determine what can impact their recruitment and retention success through paying attention to what this generation tick in the workplace. This paper examines the characteristics and preferences of the Generation Z from the existing literature so that organizations can foresee and build work place suitable for them which in turn will impact the organizational performances.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the daily lives of millennials and Gen Zs. They reported strong adherence to public health guidelines and perceived themselves as more compliant than others. However, some saw opportunities during this time, with around a quarter improving their health, finances, or job skills. Many also felt greater solidarity with their communities. While ready for restrictions to lift, around a quarter now prefer working in an office less. The pandemic reinforced the need for flexibility and adaptability in the workplace.
Approximately 15 million people in the US need assistance with daily living activities. Daughters most commonly serve as caregivers for aging parents, though caregiving responsibilities often fall unequally on women due to traditional gender roles. Caregiving can negatively impact relationships, employment, and health, though positive effects are also possible, such as feeling closer to care recipients. Nursing homes are a last resort for long-term care, but often have issues like understaffing and patient abuse that families must monitor closely.

The Lord’s church in an Experience Driven CultureDon McClain
“The Lord’s church in an 'Experience Driven Culture'” - [John 6:60-69] - As churches decline in membership, they begin to compromise to sustain numbers - Many churches have adopted the "market driven" approach – i.e., Find out what people want and give it to them - WHAT EVER THAT IS! — Many churches of Christ are dondoinge the same things! Can the church fight apathy and materialism by feeding people's carnal appetites? Has the word of God lost it’s power & effectiveness? What should the churches response be to the populace and its increasing hunger for an “experience” & disinterest in the truth? - MP3 / PPT / KEYNOTE / PDF - 5/17/2015
Expatriate success is positively influenced by how well their family adjusts to the host country. Counseling, training programs, and support systems can help families adjust and increase success rates. While adaptability and openness help with adjustment, cultural differences exist in how support is viewed. More research is still needed on factors affecting expatriate family adjustment.
This document provides a proposal for a stress management group for single parents. It will focus on cognitive thinking, stress coping skills, and building a mutual support network. The number of single parents in Hong Kong has increased significantly in recent decades. Single parents face many stressors related to finances, parenting responsibilities, and emotional well-being after becoming a single parent. The group aims to help members reduce stress and improve their quality of life by learning skills like cognitive restructuring based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles.
Summarise the impact of cross-border mobility on the employee and familyTiffany Parradine, GMS
This document discusses the impact of cross-border mobility on employees and their families. It examines the impact at different stages: pre-assignment, during assignment, and repatriation. Pre-assignment, employees are optimistic about career growth but must consider family concerns like education, spouse employment, and separation from social networks. Families may choose not to relocate together. During assignment, concerns include children's education, spouse employment, social/family ties, and healthcare. Repatriation can be difficult if expectations were not met or if the family did not adjust well to the host country. The level of impact varies individually but common factors like these should be considered to help employees and families prepare for an international assignment.

This document outlines a dissertation proposal on developing an intervention program to improve foster parents' knowledge and practices around promoting attachment with children in their care. It provides background on the foster care system and issues children often face. A literature review discusses research showing a lack of secure attachment can negatively impact children's outcomes and increase placement disruption. Previous interventions have focused on the child-parent relationship but have not sufficiently trained foster parents. The proposed study would develop and evaluate a 12-session program to enhance foster parents' attachment-related knowledge and practices.

The document discusses several key ideas around cultural intelligence and cross-cultural competence when working or traveling in other cultures:
- Cultural intelligence involves having the cognitive, behavioral, and motivational skills to appropriately interpret and interact with other cultures. It allows one to function effectively in culturally diverse settings.
- Personal characteristics like stress tolerance, flexibility, communication skills and cultural empathy help with successful adaptation to new cultures. Traits like modesty, respect, understanding of culture and self-knowledge are also important.
- Cross-cultural competence for professionals requires knowledge of histories of oppression, cultural characteristics of groups, and self-awareness of one's own biases when serving diverse clients or communities.

The summary analyzes Piaget's theory of intellectual development and the differences between crystallized and fluid intelligence according to the chapter reading. Crystallized intelligence involves acquired knowledge from education and experiences, while fluid intelligence allows for flexible thinking and understanding relationships. The summary also discusses creativity and wisdom, with creativity defined as novel and appropriate work, and wisdom involving life knowledge and interpretation. An additional presentation on aging and intelligence is referenced but no conflicts with the chapter are mentioned.
This document analyzes caseworker turnover in social services, specifically child protective services. It discusses how high turnover rates negatively impact children and strain state budgets. Turnover is estimated to be as high as 90% annually in some areas. Common reasons for leaving include low pay, excessive caseloads of 40-60 cases per worker, and burnout. High turnover means children experience multiple caseworkers, lack of stability, and potential for needs to be overlooked. Recommendations to improve retention include increasing pay, reducing caseloads, providing counseling and training support, offering tuition reimbursement, and keeping workers involved after placement. Addressing turnover could save states money while improving outcomes for children.
This document discusses the rising costs of high school athletics programs and the impact of pay-to-play models. It provides a brief history of high school athletics in the US and explains that budget cuts have led many schools to implement pay-to-play fees of several hundred dollars. However, these steep fees present barriers to participation for low-income families and racial minorities. The document examines legal implications and potential policy changes to minimize these impacts while also suggesting topics for future research.
This document discusses generational differences in the workplace and how they can impact work dynamics. It outlines the key traits of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y based on research. Baby Boomers are known for their strong work ethic and preferring face-to-face communication, while Generation X sees work more contractually and questions authority. Generation Y balances work and life effectively and expects high standards. Communication styles, views of loyalty, and unemployment rates differ between the generations. Leadership must consider these generational preferences to build effective multi-generational workgroups and keep all employees engaged.
This document discusses generational differences in the workplace. It explores three main generations currently in the workforce - Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y. Each generation has distinct personality traits and workplace preferences shaped by the time period in which they were raised. Baby Boomers prefer face-to-face communication and group work. Generation X sees work more contractually and questions authority. Generation Y values work-life balance, is goal-oriented, and most connected to technology. These differences can lead to challenges around communication styles and views of responsibility in the workplace between generations. Understanding generational traits is important for organizations to manage intergenerational dynamics effectively.

Ethics, Emotional Intelligence And Generational DifferencesDawn Robertson
The article discusses generational differences in the workplace. It outlines the four main generations - Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. Each generation has distinct birth years, core values, and preferred communication styles that were shaped by historical events. Managing a multigenerational workforce requires understanding these differences to effectively motivate each group and minimize conflicts arising from clashing work ethics and communication preferences between generations.

School Social Work with Grieving Children
Lisa Quinn-Lee
The purpose of the research reported in this article was to advance understanding of the
work of school social workers with grieving students. This research was aimed at answering
the following question; What are school social workers' experiences working with grieving
children? There were two steps in this study. Fifty-nine school social workers in the Twin
Cities, Minnesota, agreed to participate in the preliminary e-mail survey. Of these partici-
pants, 22 school social workers were interviewed in person for approximately 45 to 60 min-
utes. This exploratory study required an open-ended, inductive approach using qualitative
methods. Interviews were transcribed and coded. Major codes were developed using the
guided interview questions. Constant comparison was also used. The data analysis identified
four main themes in the responses; (1) harriers to helping grieving students, (2) variations on
how grief is defined, (3) social workers' preparation for dealing with grief and loss issues, and
(4) referrals of grieving students to outside re.

Life Span Parenting Project
Children ought to be evaluated when it comes to their entire environment with the inclusion of whatever negative or positive parental influences that could exist, this is according to Group counseling and psychotherapy with children and adolescents. I have learned that one of the most refreshing impacts concerning parents is because mainly we work with their kids who are reaching the adolescent stage in regions of their personal/social, academic success, career development, and realm. Their work comprises of working in intervention and prevention (Denno et al., 2015). Counselors help students like who undergo rough times, for instance, in adolescent and help them in enlightening their skills of resilience to be equipped better in case of hitting tough times in the future.
The adolescent stage is characterized by uneven and dramatic integration of changes that are developmental into the day to day lives of young persons. Simultaneously, teenagers experience growing independence from their families, mood swings, and at times, rapidly increasing sexuality. The tasks of talking to them usually start within the units of the family. Often, as guardians, we tend to view our teens as fragile thus visit our pediatricians or doctors since we see them as people whom to seek advice from regarding both behavioral and physiologic issues (Shechtman, 2017). The ongoing relationship with the pediatrician and the family gives for enough prospects to offer support and guidance that is anticipated as our kids get into and move through the stage of adolescence.
Determinants of Parenting
As we all know, the parent-child relationship has a massive influence on most aspects of the development of a child. When behaviors, parenting skills, and optimal capabilities have a positive effect on the school achievement or self-esteem of a child, there is positive behavior and development on the kids.
Fig: Family-Based Therapy
Some other treatment programs that can be used to work in families include family therapy, family-centered therapy, or family-based therapy. These programs change from one to the other. These are effective when it comes to family counseling and help in coming to terms with the stage or any disorder that could arise in the process.
As far as I am concerned, therapy is vital when looking at parenting approaches. This is because when an individual is a child, through adolescent to when they mature to being adults, they require guideline on being better per.

The article discusses generational differences in the workplace. It outlines the four main generations - Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. Each generation has distinct birth years, core values, and preferred communication styles that were shaped by historical events. Managing a multigenerational workforce requires understanding these differences to effectively motivate each group and minimize conflicts arising from clashing work ethics and communication preferences between generations.

School Social Work with Grieving Children
Lisa Quinn-Lee
The purpose of the research reported in this article was to advance understanding of the
work of school social workers with grieving students. This research was aimed at answering
the following question; What are school social workers' experiences working with grieving
children? There were two steps in this study. Fifty-nine school social workers in the Twin
Cities, Minnesota, agreed to participate in the preliminary e-mail survey. Of these partici-
pants, 22 school social workers were interviewed in person for approximately 45 to 60 min-
utes. This exploratory study required an open-ended, inductive approach using qualitative
methods. Interviews were transcribed and coded. Major codes were developed using the
guided interview questions. Constant comparison was also used. The data analysis identified
four main themes in the responses; (1) harriers to helping grieving students, (2) variations on
how grief is defined, (3) social workers' preparation for dealing with grief and loss issues, and
(4) referrals of grieving students to outside re.

Life Span Parenting Project
Children ought to be evaluated when it comes to their entire environment with the inclusion of whatever negative or positive parental influences that could exist, this is according to Group counseling and psychotherapy with children and adolescents. I have learned that one of the most refreshing impacts concerning parents is because mainly we work with their kids who are reaching the adolescent stage in regions of their personal/social, academic success, career development, and realm. Their work comprises of working in intervention and prevention (Denno et al., 2015). Counselors help students like who undergo rough times, for instance, in adolescent and help them in enlightening their skills of resilience to be equipped better in case of hitting tough times in the future.
The adolescent stage is characterized by uneven and dramatic integration of changes that are developmental into the day to day lives of young persons. Simultaneously, teenagers experience growing independence from their families, mood swings, and at times, rapidly increasing sexuality. The tasks of talking to them usually start within the units of the family. Often, as guardians, we tend to view our teens as fragile thus visit our pediatricians or doctors since we see them as people whom to seek advice from regarding both behavioral and physiologic issues (Shechtman, 2017). The ongoing relationship with the pediatrician and the family gives for enough prospects to offer support and guidance that is anticipated as our kids get into and move through the stage of adolescence.
Determinants of Parenting
As we all know, the parent-child relationship has a massive influence on most aspects of the development of a child. When behaviors, parenting skills, and optimal capabilities have a positive effect on the school achievement or self-esteem of a child, there is positive behavior and development on the kids.
Fig: Family-Based Therapy
Some other treatment programs that can be used to work in families include family therapy, family-centered therapy, or family-based therapy. These programs change from one to the other. These are effective when it comes to family counseling and help in coming to terms with the stage or any disorder that could arise in the process.
As far as I am concerned, therapy is vital when looking at parenting approaches. This is because when an individual is a child, through adolescent to when they mature to being adults, they require guideline on being better per.
The document discusses challenges faced by youth aging out of foster care in the United States. It notes that foster care is meant to provide substitute care for children placed away from parents/guardians, and can include family homes and group homes. However, research shows that many youth who age out struggle with independence, education, employment and health. The document calls for occupation-based programs to help equip youth with skills for independent living, and for occupational therapists to play a greater role in foster care systems given their training in skills relevant for transition.

Abstract:
This paper examines the reasons and factors of why some expatriates do not
successfully complete their overseas assignments. More specifically, it looks at the effect
of families and support systems on the success rate of expatriate workers. This paper also
looks more deeply into explaining how and why families play an integral role in the
success of the success of their expatriate relative. Later on, the author discusses possible
methods to help expatriates and their families adjust more comfortably to their new
surroundings.
Introduction:
Every year, millions of employees are relocated to different countries across the
globe in an attempt to complete various job assignments. A large majority of these
expatriates, roughly 70 percent, have families that they bring them along with them (Van
Der Zee, 2007). Sometimes, expatriates successfully complete their assignments while
other times they fail and prematurely return to their home country. Throughout extensive
research, it was discovered that one of the biggest reasons expatriates return to their
native country before their assignment is complete is due to the fact that their families do
not properly adjust to their new settings. By spending more time and energy on helping
families and children adapt, businesses can save money on turnover and improve the
success rates of expatriation within their company (Hogan, 2003). If companies can
improve the rate of success of their expatriates, they can then gain a competitive
advantage because their employees gain international experience that could then provide
the company with the global human resources and skills necessary to get ahead of the
competition (Hogan, 2003).
3. 3
Furthermore, when expatriates do not successfully complete their assignments it
can prove to be quite costly for the firms that sent them abroad. In fact, the direct cost
associated with expatriate adjustment failure has been estimated at $150,000 per
expatriate, while the indirect cost including training, relocation, and compensation have
been estimated at roughly $80,000 per expatriate (Lee, 2014). Naturally, it would be
more beneficial and prosperous for firms to not lose out on profits due to the lack of
success of their expatriate employees. A research gap that I discovered is that a lot of
articles explain why expatriates do not succeed, but they do not touch on how to fix that
or the benefits of proper training and programs designed to prepare expatriates before
they make the move to another country.
In this paper, I am going to examine the factors and character traits that inhibit
families from properly adjusting to their host countries. I will also discuss possible
solutions and methods that families, as well as the firms that send the families’ abroad,
can take in order to make for a smoother transition.
Why Expatriates Don’t Succeed
As mentioned above, there are many factors that cause expatriates to not complete
their overseas assignments. Some research variables that lead to expatriation failure
include: job dissatisfaction, lack of social ties to other expatriates, personality
characteristics, and of course the inability of the expatriate’s family to adjust while
overseas.
4. 4
It was discovered that how well the expatriates themselves adjusted to their new
environment had a huge impact on their families and how well they themselves adjusted.
Proposition 1: Expatriate success rate is positively influenced by how well the
family members of the expatriate adjust to their host country.
Out of the aforementioned independent variables, it can be argued that the ability
of families to adapt to their host countries has the greatest impact on the success rate of
expatriate workers. A recent study revealed that children are sensitive to parents’ work-
related emotions and often feel strained by their parent’s tiredness and bad mood after
work (Morales, 2015). Furthermore, over 90% of female expatriates in one study said
that the success or failure of their international assignment was directly related to the
happiness of their spouse (Linehan 2002).
Expatriate’s effect on families
In order for the spouses and children of expatriates to adjust, the expatriate must
successfully adjust first. According to Cole, expatriate adjustment comprises of three
dimensions: cultural adjustment, interactional adjustment, and work adjustment (Cole,
2011). Expatriates and their families must properly adjust in all three dimensions in order
to successfully complete their mission. The article written by Lee discusses the personal
5. 5
factors necessary for an expatriate to fit in accordingly with his or her new environment.
Lee states that expatriates with a higher emotional and cultural intelligence are more
likely to successfully complete their assignments (Lee, 2014). Lee defines people with a
higher emotional intelligence as being able to understand their emotions better and
perform better in their overseas adjustment and commitment. This author also defines
cultural intelligence as being aimed to capture the ability to adapt, to understand, and to
act appropriately across cultures (Lee, 2014). The reason why expatriates with these traits
usually complete their assignments is due to the fact that people with a higher emotional
and cultural intelligence tend to have an “internal locus of control, are flexible,
demonstrate an interest in other people, and have a socially adaptable character (Lee,
2014).” Therefore, it is necessary for expatriate workers to adjust and adapt to their host
country quickly in order to set a positive example for their family members.
Adjustment Factors of Families
Before looking at ways to improve and facilitate the adjustment of expatriate
families into their new country, it is important to examine what factors play a role in how
well the families adjust. According to Van Der Zee, two key factors that affect
adaptability are family cohesion and family communication. This author refers to family
cohesion as “the amount of emotional bonding between family members (Van Der Zee,
2007).” Research conducted by Bowlby explains that the level of emotional bonding
within the family may impact family members’ ability to develop relationships beyond
the boundaries of the family unit. This could mean that expatriate children within a
family that exhibit little family cohesion would have more difficulty establishing and
maintaining friendships with other children (Bowlby, 1977).
6. 6
Van Der Zee then argues that through communication, families can create a
shared sense of meaning, develop and orchestrate coping strategies, and maintain
harmony and balance (Van Der Zee, 2007). Later on in the article, she hypothesizes that
the scores of expatriate children on five particular traits: cultural empathy, open-
mindedness, emotional stability, flexibility, and social initiative are positively related to
their intercultural adjustment (Van Der Zee, 2007). Kim Van Erp provides even more
reasons on why expatriates do not succeed. She cites evaluations from international
companies worldwide that reveal that spouse’s dissatisfaction and lack of spouse’s career
opportunities following the assignment are the most frequently mentioned reasons for
assignment failures and premature returns (Van Erp, 2011)
The Effect of Support Systems
There are some outlets and methods that can be used to aid families with their
ability to adjust to their new surroundings. When managers promote and establish
different forms of support for expatriates and their families to become accustomed to
their host country, everyone benefits in the long run.
Proposition 2: Counseling, training programs, and support systems for expatriate
families promote the success rate of expatriate workers.
One way to help the children and adolescents of expatriate workers adjust to their
host countries is to have them attend an international school. International schools, when
set up correctly, can aid students and their families with the adjustment process. Morales
explains that an international school is a school that is “specifically established to cater to
students from a wide variety of cultures who are likely to be internationally mobile as
their parents move from country to country (Morales, 2015).” The inclusion of
7. 7
adjustment programs and mentors can be viewed as quite beneficial to expatriate families
because it provides them with connections and social support from people that are in the
same or a similar situation as them (Morales, 2015). Organizational support is also
important because it can lower depression and work conflict for employees and also can
assist expatriates to feel well working in the organization (Lee, 2014).
Another important factor that contributes to families being able to properly adjust
is the significance of social ties. One particular reason on why social ties are valuable is
that they provide social support, which can help individuals deal with stress and anxiety
(Johnson, 2003). It makes sense for people to want to be able to interact with other people
in a similar situation as them. For this reason, it would be wise for firms to set up a
support system for expatriates and their families to fall back on in order to help with a
smoother transition. This would provide the spouses with the opportunity to talk to and
gain advice from other spouses of expatriates. Also, it could allow children and teens a
way to meet people going through similar life changes.
Many companies do not offer enough training prior to their departure. An article
in the Academy of Management Review found that the failure rate of American
expatriates between the years of 1965 to 1985 was around 40 percent (Hogan, 2003). In
contrast, the failure rate of Japanese expatriate workers was less than 10 percent within
those same years (Hogan, 2003). This can be explained by investigating the differing
attitudes and opinions between the two cultures in regards to pre-departure training.
Americans generally tend to think that pre-departure training and other programs are a
waste of resources and time because the assignment is temporary, whereas people in
Asian and European countries believe that acculturation is very important and preparation
8. 8
should be extensive. In a study done by Hogan, it was found that of the 40 multinational
companies headed by Americans, fewer than 25 percent offered any type of pre-departure
training program and none of those training programs had required attendance (Hogan,
2003). In Japan, companies announce overseas assignments a year prior to departure in
order to allow the expatriate proper time to prepare (Hogan, 2003). During that year, the
expatriate devotes company time to studying the culture and language of their destination
country; the expatriates are also assigned a mentor that is there to help reduce any
pressure and stress that the expatriate and his or her family might experience (Hogan,
2003).
Conclusions and Limitations
In conclusion, there are various factors that can inhibit an expatriate from
successfully completing his or her assignment. One of the main factors that enable this
failure is the inability of families to adjust to their new environment. When families do
adjust well, it is beneficial to everyone. For example, it will help expatriates to
concentrate on their work assignment and can improve the success of the foreign
assignment (Lee, 2014). Methods to increase expatriate success overseas include focusing
on what could cause these problems and then discovering ways to overcome them. Some
ways to overcome families’ adjustment problems could include going to therapy, working
more cohesively as a family unit, and having children attend international schools with
programs aimed to aid children with adjusting to new cultures and environments.
Although the traits that lead to adjustment failure of expatriates and their families
have been identified, there are still limitations to this study. It was found that families
who are less open-minded with less emotional stability were the least likely to adjust
9. 9
properly to their new settings. However, as these factors reflect personality types, it is
difficult or nearly impossible to change those characteristics. Different methods can be
introduced to help people adjust more, but it is very hard to alter peoples’ true
personalities. Although international schools and therapy have been proven to help
families adjust, there are not a lot of significant studies to prove just how well they work.
I would like to see more research on how significantly these things affect adjustment.
