Content of this study ist the examination of the influence of personality and context related variables on socio-cultural as well as psychological adjustment. A sample of 139 German speaking expatriates in China participated in standardized interviews and filled out a personality questionnaire (NEO-PI-R). Other-ratings of adjustment were provided by supervisors, colleagues, or employees (N=69) of the interviewee. Results show that with exception of Conscientiousness the Big Five predict adjustment. Likewise, context related variables were found to be related to the adjustment of expatriates.
