摘要

尽管关于外派人员管理的现有研究已经探讨了东道国国民(HCNs)在传统的实际工作环境中支持外派人员的驱动因素,但对于虚拟外派任务的理解还很有限。因此,有必要从东道国国民和外派人员实际互动的前提出发,进一步进行理论研究。它结合了虚拟工作的特殊性,以了解虚拟背景是否以及如何影响为外派人员提供的人机交互支持,以及相关的社会分类和识别过程是否在虚拟任务中以不同方式发挥作用。我们借鉴社会认同和构想水平理论,建立了一个概念模型来解释虚拟外派人员可能获得的三种人机交互支持,即情感支持、评价支持和信息工作支持。我们的重点是社会分类机制与高层次构想之间的相互作用,因此,虚拟工作环境会产生更多的人际中立和社会脱离。我们提出了一系列命题,概述了以虚拟方式履行外派工作角色的各种后果,尤其关注高通量网络同事为外派人员提供的不同类型的支持。

Virtual expatriate assignments and host country national support: The role of higher-level construals in social categorization processes

Although extant research on expatriate management has explored the drivers of host country nationals’ (HCNs’) support for expatriates in traditional physical work environments, there is limited understanding in the context of virtual expatriate assignments. This necessitates further theorizing that departs from the presupposition that HCNs and expatriates interact physically. It integrates the particularities of working virtually to understand if and how the virtual context affects the provision of HCN support for expatriates, and whether related social categorization and identification processes work differently as part of virtual assignments. We draw on social identity and construal level theory and develop a conceptual model explaining the emergence of three types of HCN support that virtual assignees can receive, i.e., emotional support, appraisal support, and informational job support. We focus on the interplay between social categorization mechanisms and higher-level construals and, thus, more interpersonal neutrality and social disengagement originating from the virtual work context. We contribute by deriving a set of propositions that outlines the varied consequences of performing the expatriate job role virtually, with a particular focus on the provision of different types of support for expatriates by HCN co-workers.
