Female Expatriate: The Motivations Behind Expatriate Acceptance, Challenges and Organizational supports (A Case Study of Finnish-Tech Company)

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the factors that influence female employees' expatriation experiences, including motives, barriers, and support systems. As a link between corporate headquarters and international subsidiaries, expatriates are essential to the worldwide operations of multinational corporations (MNCs). Recognizing the motivations for expatriation is essential for both individuals and companies, as it impacts the satisfaction and achievements of the expatriate journey. According to research, expats are frequently driven by a combination of extrinsic and intrinsic motivations. Prospects for career advancement, personal development, and a desire for new experiences are the main reasons people choose to relocate abroad.
