Revisiting Repatriation Concerns: Organiaztional Support vs. Career and Contextual Influence

Lazarova M., CERDIN Jean-Luc

This paper reviews and attempts to integrate two perspectives on repatriate retention: a traditional one, which suggests that the main determinant of repatriate retention is the availability of repatriation support programs, and an emerging one, which focuses on individual career activism in a changing employment context. Results of a study of 133 expatriates from 14 MNCs indicate that both views contribute to our understanding of repatriate retention.
