OPEN-MINDEDNESS AND FLEXIBILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF A SUCCESSFUL INTERNATIONAL ASSIGNMENT
Journal Title: Вісник Одеського національного університету. Психологія - Year 2014, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
The present article deals with the success of international assignments and focuses on the relevance of the intercultural personality dimensions flexibility and open-mindedness. The results of the quantitative study suggest that open-mindedness is important for success. The more open-minded an expatriate is, the more successful he is abroad. Flexibility, on the other hand, does not predict international success. Neither openmindedness nor flexibility are subject to change during the potentially critical life event of an international assignment.
