Expatriates’ motivations to repatriate can be negatively impacted because of the change associated with working in a new environment and also the worries that there will be limited career opportunities after they repatriate (Kim & McLean, 2012). New environments occur both at the start of an expatriate assignment and upon return. Changes in people, processes, structures, and culture are bound to occur during time abroad. The effects of any changes that have occurred within the organization while the employee was away on international assignment are intensified by the personal adjust- ment required when the repatriate returns to the home country. The repatriate must receive proper support and motivation to overcome the new changes he or she is experiencing. Even the expatriate’s perceived power is critical to his or her readjustment. Osman-Gani and Rockstuhl (2008) discussed the power that the expatriate gains in his or her assignment and how this status shift- as well as loss of certain privileges affects the repatriate through feelings of frustration.
