Cross cultural training is widely believed to make a positive
contribution to expatriate adjustment. In practice, however, it is very
costly and sometimes ineffective for expatriates. Therefore, there is a
growing importance placed on increasing the cost effectiveness or
enhancing the efficacy of crosscultural training by functioning
individual expatriate's social capital and emotional intelligence as
moderating variables towards expatriate's adjustment and performance. To
do so we blend ideas drawn from social capital theory and emotional
intelligence to develop the structure that underlies the logic of this
paper. Thus, this paper uses social capital and emotional intelligence
theories to enrich extant literature on expatriate adjustment [ABSTRACT
