Abstract

This study presents the results of an investigation designed to examine the perceptions of expatriate American managers. The subjects were 105 upper middle management personnel assigned to the regional headquarters of three large American multinational companies. It was found that regional location and length of time worked overseas were related to the managers' perceptions. The subjects view their own capabilities being nearer to those of their superiors than to their subordinates. The participants see the capabilities of their immediate subordinates increasing the longer the manager is overseas while the perceived capabilities of their superiors decreased.
