To meet global workforce demands, these companies are highly reliant on expatriates to manage their business operation abroad. This study examined the role of primary stakeholders’ support such as organisations, host country nationals (HCNs) and spouses on expatriate adjustment and performance. Questionnaire survey data were collected from 112 expatriates in Malaysia and analysed using multiple hierarchical regression analysis. The results substantiated that perceived organisational support (POS) and HCN support were significant components in expatriate adjustment. The findings also revealed a positive relationship between expatriate adjustment and performance. Thus, multinational companies (MNCs) and human resource managers should provide expatriate relevant training and support to ensure a successful international assignment when he or she is sent abroad. Local employees could also be assigned to help expatriates mingle around in the host country.

Researchers developed a framework that addressed top management support, government support, stakeholder pressure, faculty support, and regulation compliance as factors influencing competitiveness, and the mediating role of the adoption of green initiatives on the above relationship. Few studies had been conducted to test the applicability of the above framework in the Malaysian context. A self-administered questionnaire was given to 452 PHEIs in Malaysia, and the data collected was analyzed using SmartPLS software. Findings revealed that top management support, government support, faculty support, and stake holder pressure played an important and significant role in influencing the competitiveness of PHEIs and the adoption of green initiative did mediate the above relationship. Regulatory compliance was not significant in influencing the green initiatives. Additionally, green initiative was found to mediate the relationship between the influencing factors and competitiveness. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings were discussed, and suggestions for future study were given.
