A Study on Flex patriates Behaviour in International Assignments Among Information Technology Sector Employees

Abstract

There are certain changes that are observed in the global workforce. It was seen that Flexpatriate's behaviour is one of the modern trends in the workforce. Therefore, the study has aimed towards analysing Flexpatriates behaviour in International assignments among Information Technology Sector Employees. The term Flexpatriates is relatively new thus people are not familiar with the term. Hence, secondary data was considered for the empirical analysis. In addition, a qualitative method of analysis was employed in order to deliver reliable results. It was observed that there are certain behavioural traits associated with the Flexpatriates. For instance, it was noted that globalization is a major factor that prompts such behaviour in employees. In addition, it was noted that the quality of work for international assignments is impacted by Flexpatriate's behaviour of employees. The prime reason for that was contemplated to be the work-life balance of such Flexpatriates behaviour. Moreover, it was noted that skills and adaptability for information technology employees are some of the major criteria of such employees that impact the quality of international assignments.
