Ekspatriacja jako problem jednostki – indywidualne motywy, oczekiwania, oceny

Expatriation remains the key challenge for managers and HR professionals in organisations undertaking or continuing their international expansion. Despite the appreciation of its importance in the development of international activities, it may be noted that the impact of expatriation on a delegated employee (in the sphere of their professional and private life) is relatively less well recognised. Therefore, the problem of expatriation in this article is analysed through the prism of individual expectations. This point of view reflects the need to better understand the individual’s motivation to undertake international assignment and the reasons for refusal. The purpose of this article, then, is to identify the main motives and expectations of employees associated with initiating and continuing the foreign mission and to define the main factors influencing their willingness to expatriate. The article also highlights the different perceptions of individual motives and divergence of mutual expectations between employees and their organisations.
