An exploratory study of bureaucratic, heroic, chaos, postmodern and hybrid story typologies of the expatriate journey.
Gardner, Carolyn L.

An exploratory study of bureaucratic, heroic, chaos, postmodern and hybrid story typologies of the expatriate journey. - 176 p.

Chair: David M. Boje.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--New Mexico State University, 2002.

Previous expatriate studies have called for researchers to examine the expatriate experience using qualitative research methods. Using storytelling and narrative analysis, the present research is an exploratory study of returned expatriate interviews and their spouses employed by large aerospace and defense firms in Southern California. The analysis focuses on how expatriates tell the story of their overseas assignment. Using the previous work of Osland, Boje, and Frank as a basis to understand the narrative frames of hero, bureaucratic, chaos and postmodern, the expatriate stories are analyzed for these themes. Analysis is performed using a rigorous, replicable methodology of content analysis. The expatriate story typology is developed for hero, bureaucratic, chaos, and postmodern story types; and, a new typology, the expatriate hybrid story is presented. The expatriate hybrid story is explained through the use of Boje's antenarrative concept. Results indicate a majority of expatriates tell bureaucratic and hero stories and only occasionally tell chaos, postmodern and hybrids story types. The expatriates recently returned to the United States are more likely to engage in sensemaking techniques than those who returned for sometime. The human resource areas of planning and training for overseas assignments, cultural adaptation and repatriation are discussed.
