Abstract

Drawing from attachment theory, this study develops and empirically tests a model how geographic separation leads to depression of both expatriates and their partners, expatriates' withdrawal from work and repatriation. Moreover, we argue that trust buffers the negative effects of geographic separation. Results largely provide support for our theoretical model.
