“…Institutional theory conceptualizes that organizations are pressured to conform to the institutionalized beliefs and processes of the society they are embedded with. Among others, organizations are subjected to pressures from cultural spheres of society which spill over to employees (Senge, 2013). Lewis (2005) emphasized that the understanding of the culture enables us to predict and adapt to the behavior of entities in specific contexts.…”

Previous researches have shown that expatriates` failure rate has steadily increased in recent years. The failure of expatriates mainly related with the cross-cultural challenges. The purpose of this study was to identify factors which have a paramount implication on expatriates’ cultural adjustment. Hierarchical regression and MANCOVA were applied in data analysis. Hofstede’s (1980) cultural dimension scores were used to measure culture at national level. The individual cultural orientation was measured using a scale that used Hofstede (1980) dimensions as a framework. Moreover, a recently developed model was adopted to analyze the expatriate adjustment. Cultural adjustment found to be affected more by individual cultural orientation than national culture differences among expatriates` home and host countries. The alignment of the expatriate cultural orientation with the national culture found to be critical for effective expatriate cultural adjustment. The result indicated that gender difference does not have a significant role in expatriate cultural adjustment. This research would have a conceptual contribution in comprehensively assessing individual cultural orientation with cognitive expatriate adjustment. The study indicated factors that MNCs managers would use for effective selection and assignment of expatriates.

“…Secondly, sociotechnical theory links technology with human perspectives and the organizational background [46]. If we conceived that individuals behave and interact inside institutions [47] and these institutions are now open and without boundaries in terms on information, we must try to assess change and maturity in these behaviors along the different implementations of open government.…”

Part 1: FoundationsInternational audienceOpen government implementation connects to several actions: public policy design, software implementation, website development, policy informatics, and the development of new regulations. Despite this important progress, very little has been done to measure the impact of open government and provide feedback in terms of the next steps for implementation. Furthermore, very few models intend to explain the functions, characteristics, or the future of this new trend toward openness. Our research from 2006 to 2012 uses a multi-component model to measure open government websites in the 32 Mexican state governments. However, the website model could become obsolete as a result of technology advancements. This paper analyzes some knowledge gaps and potential problems with this type of model and proposes a new approach to open government portals based on four conceptual pillars: wikinomics, open data, new institutionalism, and the fifth state (Network State)

“…Thus, IS can be seen as a bedrock of using IT in public sector organization [18]. Similarly, Walsham [47] finds that there is strong link between technological processes and contexts of public sector organization in developing countries. Evidently, IS deals with IT and organizational contexts with equal emphasis.…”
