Can multiple equilibria increase the prevalence of cooperation?

Research output: Contribution to conferenceAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

Although the indispensable feature of Social Exchange Theory (SET) is believed to induce cooperation, expatriate turnover in repatriation suggests several limitations of the theoretic concept. Taking a step advance, this paper introduces an equilibrium approach and exams how it impacts employee turnover intention (TI) on their reentry to the home Multinational Corporation (MNC). In this context, we develop an analysis by drawing on sample data 163 employees from over 31 MNCs who worked on company-sponsored international assignments for one or more years. The results show: ‘multiple equilibria’ through shared beliefs and preferences bring a positive association with social exchanges, thus, increasing the prevalence of cooperation within the MNC.
