Repatriate knowledge transfer: Antecedents and boundary conditions of a dyadic process

Research output: Journal contributionsJournal articlesResearchpeer-review

Authors

In this study, we build on the ability-motivation-opportunity framework to test whether both repatriates' disseminative capacity and domestic employees' absorptive capacity as well as their opportunities for interaction affect repatriate knowledge transfer. Further, we examine the moderating effects of two distinctive factors associated with repatriate knowledge transfer: repatriate knowledge characteristics and characteristics of international assignments. Using multi-source time-lagged data from 101 dyads, we find support for most of our hypotheses. Our study contributes to theory and practice by providing an integrated analysis of antecedents and boundary conditions of repatriate knowledge transfer and by highlighting its dyadic nature.
