Abstract

Abstract This paper re-conceptualizes the adjustment of expatriate spouses during

overseas assignments and explores various factors influencing the level of spousal

adjustment. It does so by using a combination of qualitative data, collected through

interviews and group discussions with expatriate spouses, and quantitative data, gathered

by means of a questionnaire survey of American expatriate spouses in Germany.

The results support the existence of a hitherto neglected facet of spousal adjustment,

designated 'role adjustment', and highlight some important antecedents of spousal

adjustment. The implications of the results for research and the practice of intemational

HRM are discussed.
