Organisation Support Practices and Its Importance for Repatriates: An Empirical Study

Author : Muniza Aftab, Mohammad Israrul Haque, and Mehraj Udin Ganaie
Volume 8 No.1 January-March 2019 pp 53-58

Abstract

Repatriation is a challenge across organizations and requires an organised effort for successful Re-adjustment. While expatriation has gained ample importance, repatriation has received limited attention both from academia and industry. Also, the efforts being placed by the organisations in bringing back the repatriates smoothly have been less than desired. There is unawareness on what organizations are doing for repatriate’s easy readjustment on return and what is really important to them. This research paper attempts to understand the current repatriate support practices employed by the organization and also identify those which repatriates find most important.

Keywords
