Abstract

This study is to identify factors affecting Indonesian internship students in the process of cross-cultural adaptation during the programs in Japan. A qualitative method with case studies was used in order to further explore data related to factors influencing student adaptation. Data were collected through an open ended questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. A hundred intern students participated. The study analyzed students’ anticipatory and in country adjustment from individual, job, organizational, and non-job factors and found that students had difficulties adapting to a new environment due to their low self-efficacy and perception skills, high role novelty, low role clarity, low role discretion, cultural differences, and a lack of social support from natives. Additionally, this study discovered five variables that affect students’ cross-cultural adaptation in Japan: language proficiency, prior international experience, job training (either in-country or prior to departure), cultural differences, and social support.
