Good day I am a student in South Africa at the University of Pretoria completing my Masters in Commerce. My thesis focuses on expatriate trailing spouses, and more specifically on what they feel they need to adjust successfully in a foreign country and compare this to what they actually receive from the multinational company. I have done a couple years of research on expatriates and have found that the spouses unhappiness and inability to adjust in the host country is the main reason for expatriates failing on their assignments or returning home early. I have constructed an online questionnaire which any expat spouse may access through the link inserted below. It asks a variety of demographic questions, questions around the details of the assignment and then asks spouses to rate their level of agreement with statements pertaining to various preparation, training and support activities (assistance with work permits, language training, social support networks etc). The questionnaire is anonymous and cannot be linked back to the spouse or the company the expat works for. It should not take more than 10-15 minutes to complete. Any spouse who is currently accompanying an expat on assignment may complete the questionnaire. The link is as follows: https://tuks.qualtrics/SE/?SID=SV_6rPM9UNQ6qpoTOJ Thank you in advance for your time! Emma Shaw For enquiries: emma90shaw@gmail
