This paper draws from Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior and examines factors influencing an expatriate’s intention regarding future international career. Data was collected about expatriate’s perception of his/her task-based and relationship-based acceptance in the host country, the expatriate’s satisfaction with host country, self-efficacy and his/her intention to consider future expatriate assignments. Analysis was conducted using structural equation model based on polychoric correlation matrix of the observable variables. The results of the analysis and their implications for the career of expatriate managers are discussed in this paper.
