WILLINGNESS TO RELOCATE INTERNATIONALLY

This study used a sample of 405 managers and their spouses from twenty Fortune 500 multinational corporations to document the availability o f American managers for international assignments. Aside from their sp ouses' feelings about international relocation, managers' willingness to relocate internationally was also predicted by their own attitudes about moving in general and their willingness to relocate domestically . Implications for human resource policy suggest that corporations mus t increasingly focus on human resource policies targeted toward the sp ouse. Results suggested that monitoring managers' intentions to reloca te will enhance the organization's ability to adequately staff interna tional sites with experienced managers.
