Abstract

From a social learning perspective, factors predicting seeking future international assignments and that are more or less under control of the human resource management department through training were examined. We tested our hypotheses on data from 745 Dutch peacekeepers. It appears that preparation, adventurism, and cultural empathy are important factors in willingness to expatriate again. Peacekeepers scoring high on self-effi cacy are more willing to accept future international assignments than peacekeepers scoring low on self-effi cacy. Further, the relationship between adventurism and seeking future international assignments is stronger for peacekeepers scoring high on self-effi cacy than for peacekeepers scoring low on self-effi cacy. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
