Bc. Lucja Barzak

Diplomová práce

The impact of other family members' well-being on expatriates' well-being, adjustment, performance and success.

Abstract:

The literature review shows existing trends in international assignments and focuses on the potential impact of the family members' well-being on the expatriates' success. The research is done in the quest for reliable publications which are further analyzed in two parts, based on the general impact of the family on the expatriates and based on the well-being factor of the family influencing the expatriates. The thesis shows an issue of the family members being often a significant failure factor based on their problems and issues related to the functioning in the host country. However, the family's state of well-being, consistent with the cross-over theory, will influence the expatriates and the international assignment success positively.
