Abstract
This study analyzes the impact of the Big Five personality traits (Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, and Openness) as well as home- and host-country mentorship on expatriates’ psychological well-being. We argue that expatriates with certain personality traits derive more advantage from mentoring than others do. Based on socioanalytic theory, we develop hypotheses and test them against data of 334 expatriates currently on or recently returned from an international assignment. We find that all Big Five as well as home-country mentorship have a significant positive impact on psychological well-being, while home-country and host-country mentorship partially moderates the relationship between personality traits and psychological well-being
