대학조직의 해외파견교원 이문화적응 요인- 우즈베키스탄 IUT(Inha University in Tashkent) 사례 -

This current study represents the first case study which seeks plans and suggestions to assist expatriates in cross-cultural adjustment in Uzbekistan. The research method adopted by this research is a case analysis using qualitative ways based on viewpoints of expatriates and host country nationals. The previous researches have dealt with the cross-cultural adjustment for expatriates in private organizations based on the work, non-work, organizational, and individual factors. Contrasting to previous studies, the current investigation focuses on the cross-cultural adjustment for expatriates in university organizations. According to the research results of the study, individual and organizational factors(e.g. cross-cultural training, information about local students, advice from former expatriates, support from mentors and family members, interaction with local professors and workers, interaction with students, local language skills and information about transportation, hospital, phone, currency exchange) are important factors that influence the cross-cultural adjustment for expatriates in IUT. In addition, the study reveals that there are implications considering overseas expansion for Korean universities.
