Outline of Research at the Start

The project aims at developing a practical measurement tool for emotion differentiation (individual ability to differentiate different emotions), and examines how this personal trait affects expatriate cross-cultural adjustment, and consequently their engagement, task performance, and turnover.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

From FY 2020 to FY 2024, the primary investigator actively worked with overseas collaborators and published 11 refereed papers in international journals. These publications appeared in renowned journals such as Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, International Journal of Human Resource Management, Asian Business & Management, Asia Pacific Journal of Management, Review of Managerial Science, and International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, among others. The results have also been presented at the European Academy of Management Annual Conference, the Japan Society of Human Resource Management Annual Conference, and through invited talks in Japan and China. The paper “Linking Leader Overqualification to Supervisory-focused Organizational Citizenship Behaviour: A Moderated Mediation Model” received the best paper award at the Japan Society of Human Resource Management Annual Conference in 2022.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

We identified individual, leader, and organizational characteristics that contribute to employee performance and well-being, which are essential for devising effective cross-cultural management strategies to enhance employee well-being and effectiveness in global business operations.
