中文摘要

本研究之目的為呈現內含在外派研究文獻知識結構之演變。研究方法係採用書目計量學和社會網絡分析技術，主要以1959年至2008年發表在SCI與SSCI期刊有關外派研究議題的研究文獻為對象，總計分析840篇文獻及22,487筆參考文獻資料。本研究將過去50年外派研究分成三個階段，分別是初創期（1959－1989）、形成期（1990－1999）及發展期（2000－2008）。研究結果顯示當代外派研究呈現四個主要研究趨勢：外派適應的新結構、外派適應的動態程序、回任議題與全球任用；未來在外派領域的研究將持續上述之研究趨勢，特別是跨文化管理、全球化管理與全球化經理人應扮演之角色。本研究提出一個可以讓學術界及實務界更了解外派研究發展趨勢之方法；此方法可描繪出外派研究領域的智慧結構及闡明其研究領域的發展及變化。
英文摘要

The purpose of this study is to identify the evolution of the intellectual structure of expatriate. Bibliometric techniques and social network analysis were used to trace the development path of expatriate research. By analyzing 22,487 citations of 840 articles published in SCI and SSCI journals in the expatriate field between 1959 and 2008, this study maps the intellectual structure of expatriate studies. This study divided the development of research on expatriate management into three stages: initializing stage (1959-1989), forming stage (1990-1999), and development stage (2000-2008). The results of this study suggest that future expatriate research will be organized into four different areas of interest: a new construct of expatriate adjustment, the dynamic process of expatriate adjustment, repatriation issues, and global staffing. Future expatriate studies will probably continue to center on these topics; specifically, studies on cross-cultural adjustment, global management, and the role of global managers. This study provides researchers with a new way of profiling key themes and their relationships in expatriate studies and to provide important insights and implications with regard to current and future research paradigms for management scholars and practitioners.
