Abstract
This study investigates adaptation of Japanese expatriates (N=215) in relation to current overseas assignment tenure. For comprehensive understanding of their adaptation, Japanese home managers (N=87) and American counterpart managers (N=125) were also used in comparisons.
The uniqueness of this study is to examine Japanese expatriates' adaptability through analysis to what extent the levels of 12 learning skills are matching with those skills demands.
