Abstract: With the increasing trend of internationalization and innovation of Chinese enterprises, expatriates have gradually become an important support force for multinational enterprises to improve their innovation capability, and whether expatriates can give full play to their innovative roles has a direct impact on the realization of their innovative performance. Therefore, selecting suitable expatriates and encouraging and supporting their cross-cultural adjustment can ultimately contribute to the realization of the strategic goal of upgrading the enterprise's global value system. From the perspectives of social cognitive theory and cross-cultural adjustment integration theory, this study constructs a model framework of perceived organizational support, cultural intelligence- psychological resilience- cross-cultural adjustment, explores the positive effects of perceived organizational support and cultural intelligence on cross-cultural adjustment, and investigates the mediating role of psychological resilience. This paper summarizes the impact of several factors on the cross-cultural adjustment of expatriate employees and provides a useful reference for Chinese multinational enterprises in the management of expatriate employees.
