Cross-cultural experience, strategic motivation and employer hiring preference: An exploratory study in an emerging economy
2010
The relationship between self-complexity, strategic motivation, and organizational processes such as staffing seems lacking in the human resources management and organizational behavior (OB) literatures. In two studies we examined the self-complexity of potential employees with and without cross-cultural experience as determinant of preferences of employers mediated by strategic motivations of organizations. We found in a sample of 40 organizations from an emerging economy, Ghana, that employers seemed to prefer employees with cross-cultural experience who are perceived to facilitate achievement of their strategic motivations. Implications for international human resources management are discussed.
