Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: International mobility is a growing trend among multinational corporations (MNCs), requiring employees to relocate and adapt to work, social interaction and general environments in foreign host countries. This study investigated everyday adjustment by analyzing data from 214 expatriates in India via structured questionnaires. The research focused on how demographic variables impact daily adaptation. The findings confirm that country of origin, age, gender, family status, family presence and the reason for relocation significantly influence adjustment scores. Understanding these relationships provides vital insights into the specific challenges and opportunities that expatriates face during international assignments.
