TOCAVEN GONZALEZ, Diana Alicia  e  KASTEREN, Han van. Identifying Strategies for Selecting Expatriate Employees. Vértice univ. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.90, pp.15-27.  Epub 17-Jan-2022. ISSN 2683-2623.  https://doi.org/10.36792/rvu.vi90.30.

This research was an investigation triggered by an alarming history of expatriate failure, that is, in that expatriate did no complete their assignments and returned home prematurely. The research showed that very few factors were taken into account when recruiting and selecting expatriate workers, factors that contributed to an early termination of the foreign assignment. These factors include Cultural Intelligence, preparedness, failure to adapt, language barriers, homesickness, and not being able to bring family. Implications for future expatriate success would be to take said factors into account in all the preliminary stages of recruitment and selection, before sending expatriate workers on foreign assignments.
