Abstract

The Global Talent (Development) Program or in short GTP is one of the important Telkom' s human capital programs. During the GTP, every participant had to do a three months overseas job assignment, in order to provide them with sufficient yet real international business experiences. The overseas job assignments are mainly aim to support the Telkom' s international expansion programs. Despite of its important for the company' s future sustainability, the GTP involves hefty investment. Thus, it is interesting to know the influence of Decision Makers' Global Mindset to the Company' s Internationalization Behavior. A survey method was employed to gather data from respondents, the Telkom' s employees who had finished GTP. The 209 valid collected data was analyzed using a descriptive and quantitative investigation approach. The partial least squares (PLS) method was used to quantitatively evaluate the impact of the key constructs of Decision Maker Characteristics, Work Experience, Company Characteristics toward Global Mindset, and the impact of Global Mindset toward Company Internationalization Behavior. The Company Internationalization Behaviors are significantly influenced Global Mindset (0.69). Global Mindset is significantly influenced by Company Characteristics (0.59), Decision Maker Characteristics (0.21) and Work Experience (0.07). The model of this study achieved R1² of 0.53 and R2² of 0.47, these results indicate that the model substantially explained the variance in Global Mindset and Company Internationalization Behaviour.
