Abstract

The Belt & Road Initiative brings out new conceptualization for the ability and competency of expatriate managers, the role of whom are of great significance to the development and operations of subsidiaries from multinational corporations. Due to the lack of effective training and incentive measures for expatriate managers, the conflicts between institutional and expatriate managers become increasingly severe. This paper analyses the specific dimensions of the work characteristic model and its influence on the job morale, job attitude, job behavior and job performance from expatriate managers. Through observing the relationship between task design and job performance, we can better understand the conflicts happened between institution and expatriate managers. It is proposed that the task design of expatriate managers, which is based on the job characteristic model, is positively related to their job behavior and performance.
