Research on expatriation has traditionally centered on s ingle, temporary international assignments, with limited attention to ho w expatriates’ experiences evolve over time. Based on our recent concept ual work, this webinar sets out to investigate the reasons and processes behind expatriates’ decision to extend their work and life abroad, ther eby becoming long-term expatriates. Using an embeddedness perspective, w e integrate organizational and community embeddedness with expatriate li festyle embeddedness—introduced as a novel third dimension—to provide a more comprehensive understanding of expatriates’ embeddedness and its in fluence on their career decisions. We explore both the intrapersonal and interpersonal implications of long-term expatriation and identify criti cal areas of future research to further our understanding of the key att ributes and international experiences that characterize long-term expatr iates.
