Abstract
Due to the increased level of international competition, expatriates must continue their cross-cultural training because international jobs are likely to require more frequent cross-border job shifts and assignments. Thus, this study looked into how American expatriates working in Nigeria are affected by cross-cultural training. The study's specific goal was to investigate how language training and cultural sensitivity training affected American expatriates' performance in Nigeria. Survey design was used in the study. 89 American expatriates from seven American companies in Nigeria contributed data for the study. A questionnaire was chosen as the main tool for collecting first-hand information. The multiple regression analysis t-values and p-values were used to analyze the impact of independent factors on the dependent variable. The test's outcome demonstrated that cultural sensitivity and language instruction both have a major favorable impact on American expatriates' performance in Nigeria. Given the stark differences in culture between Nigeria and the United States, this study suggests that cross-cultural training is a strong predictor of American expatriates' performance in Nigeria. It is also recommended that this topic be tested in cultural contexts other than American and Nigerian in future studies
