Abstract

In this study, we focus on investigating Chinese expatriates' adjustment challenges in Pakistan. In
order to build larger trade, understanding and harmony between these two countries, we need to
understand the challenges faced by the Chinese expatriates in Pakistan. In this study, we link the
intent to leave job, location and organization to personal, work-related/organizational and
environmental factors. We employPearson's correlation and step-wise regression in order to see any
impact in this regard. Our results show that material life satisfaction and job autonomy are important
predictors of adjustment as for as the location is concerned. For adjustment within an organization,
job autonomy dominates material life as a predictor of adjustment tendencies. The Chinese
expatriates attach more significance to sustained standard of hard work in their employment to
overseas locations.
