“…Such an endeavor is particularly important in the Asia Pacific region. As shown by recent studies (Froese, 2012;Halim, Bakar, & Mohamad, 2014;Makkonen, 2017;Richardson & Ng, 2019;Tang, Chang, & Cheng, 2017), SIEs represent an important group of employees for organizations located in this region.

Psychological contract breach and organizational cynicism and commitment among self-initiated expatriates vs. host country nationals in the Chinese and Malaysian transnational education sector

In today's global economy, self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) and host country nationals (HCNs) both represent critical human resources for organizations operating globally. Yet, because these two groups of employees have been studied separately, little is known about how SIEs' and HCNs' perceptions of, and attitudes towards the organization compare and diverge (vs. converge) in terms of implications for human resource management. This study aims to contribute to fill this gap by examining psychological contract breach, organizational cynicism, and organizational commitment components (i.e., affective, normative, and continuance) among a sample of 156 SIEs and HCNs working in the Chinese and Malaysian transnational education sector. Using a one-year time-lagged study, we found that compared to HCNs, SIEs experienced more organizational cynicism and less affective, normative, and continuance commitment. Moreover, the breach-organizational cynicism relationship was stronger (i.e., more positive) among SIEs than HCNs. The indirect relationships between breach and affective and continuance commitment, as mediated by organizational cynicism, were also stronger (i.e., more negative) among SIEs than HCNs. Implications for human resource management are discussed under the lens of Conservation of Resources theory. Keywords Self-initiated expatriates. Host country nationals. Psychological contract breach. Organizational cynicism. Organizational commitment.

“…Pembelajaran yang baik bisa membentuk karakter siswa menjadi lebih baik seperti siswa bisa mengajak orang lain untuk ikut berkegiatan, mempunyai simpati dan berinteraksi dengan baik, dan tidak sok mempunyai kuasa pada suatu kegiatan (Forrester et al, 2016). Kepribadian yang baik juga ditunjukkan dengan seseorang bisa berkomunikasi atau beradaptasi dengan baik walaupun tidak berada dalam masyarakatnya sendiri (Halim et al, 2014).…”
