Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 90 === The purpose of this study is to discuss the relationships among the cross-cultural training, expatriate skill and expatriate adjustment. We propose four main hypotheses by reviewing preview literatures. In the first hypothesis, we discuss the relationship between the cross-cultural training and expatriate skill. In the second hypothesis, we discuss the relationship between expatriate skill and expatriate adjustment. In the third hypothesis, we discuss the interaction effect of the expatriate skill and expatriate individual characteristics on expatriate adjustment. In the forth hypothesis, we discuss the relationship between the cross-cultural training and expatriate adjustment. In view of this, we use surveys to get empirical data. By statistical analyis,we conclude major results as follow: 1.There are partly significant correlations between the cross-cultural training and expatriate skill. This means,when the contents of the cross-cultural training is on high degree, expatriate skill is good. But the correlations between the the training hours of the cross-cultural training and expatriate skill are not supported by this study. 2.There are significant correlations between the expatiate skill and expatriate adjustment. This means, when expatiate skill is good ,the expatriate adjustment is good. 3.The interaction effects of the expatriate skill and expatriate individual characteristics on expatriate adjustment are significant partly. A company send the expatriate who are less than 40 years old, or who didn’t receive good education to Mainland china when the expatriate skill is good, then the effects to improve expatriate adjustment will be more significant than when the expatriate skill is bad. 4.There are partly significant correlations between the cross-cultural training and expatriate adjustment. This means, when the cross-cultural training is on high degree, expatriate adjustment is good. But the correlations between the degree of the training hours of the cross-cultural training and expatriate adjustment is not supported by this study.
