The Success Of A Foreign Mission And Its Reasons - The Point Of View Of The Organization And Of The Expatriate, Joanna Purgał-Popiela

European Management Studies

Although expatriation is an important issue in the international expansion of many organizations, research evidence suggests that expatriate failure rates have remained moderately high, particularly so in developing countries, in which they reach up to 70%. However, this evidence is widely criticized, as it is based on the most popular indicator of failure: premature return of international assignees, which in turn, does not reflect all the relevant dimensions of the expatriate success. For these reasons, the paper aims to develop a holistic approach to the success of international assignments, as well as to identify the key factors that influence the …

Competence As A Determinant Of Employees' Unethical Behavior, Dariusz Turek, Agnieszka Wojtczuk-Turek

European Management Studies

The purpose of this paper is to analyze connections between individual competencies (moral competence, self-leadership) and employees' unethical behavior. The article points to theoretical premises which suggest that the level of moral competence and self- leadership can be an important factor, which limits manifestation of employees' unethical practices. In order to verify these dependencies empirical research was conducted on a sample of 206 people. The results show that people with higher moral competence show less unethical behavior (r=-0,380; p p<0,01) but self-leadership does not correlate with this type of behavior (r=-0.023). The article also shows the practical implications of the results and future research perspectives.

European Management Studies

Furthermore, there is a wide array of myths regarding the effective motivational strategies …
