Interested in the experiences of expats - org psych research

Hello, my name is Catherine and I?m a provisional organisational
psychologist. As part of my Masters in Organisational Psychology, I am
completing a study that explores the experiences and needs a person
may face as an expatriate whilst living and working in a foreign
country. Having been a member of an expatriate family myself, I have
a strong interest in this area of research. I am interested to hear from
expatriates located in a variety of locations.
The findings of this study will be potentially beneficial to employees
(the expatriate) and the organisation in which the expatriate is
employed. Potential benefits for the employee can be a more positive
experience during their overseas assignment and less stress and
discomfort, whilst the organisation may benefit by having reduced
failure rates as well as increased employee productivity and job
satisfaction.
I am looking for people that have been sent by the organisation in
which they are employed, to work and live in a foreign country for an
extended period of time (a minimum of a 12 month assignment).
Participants should be aged between 18 and 65 and currently be on
their international assignment. Participants must have been sent by
their organisation on this international assignment. Furthermore,
participants must have already completed at least 6 months of their
international assignment.
Participation in this study involves completing an anonymous online
questionnaire. The questionnaire includes a series of questions
regarding your experiences, social support, personal and work values
and demographic details. If you would like to participate, the
questionnaire should take around 10 ? 25 minutes to complete. The
direct link to the questionnaire is

hesitate to contact me, at Catherine.McEniry@med.monash.edu.au
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the
questionnaire and contributing to the results of this research study.
