- Abstract:
- The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of Cross-Cultural Training (CCT) on executives’ socio-cultural adjustment and performance during international assignments. The selection of the participants for this qualitative study was purposeful, criterion-based sampling. Six executives from international companies who received CCT were selected for this study. Data was collected through interviews, one interview per participant. The length of the interview was approximately between 45 to 60 minutes. The type of interview instrument used was the standardized, open-ended interview. The gathered data was analyzed through constant comparison; findings were presented according to the research questions. The findings revealed the need for a more conscientious evaluation from global HRD and international companies of the importance of CCT and its consequences on the social and professional performance of executives. Social adjustment and repercussions on performance are issues that sooner or later will impact and reflect on the ROI (Return of Investments) of international companies.
