摘要：This study investigates the relationships and impact of competencies on performance and the mediating role of cultural adjustment of expatriates engaged in the ICT sector in Malaysia. Based on a quantitative survey with a sample of 301 expatriates, the findings of this study revealed that emotional competencies have the highest influence on the job performance of expatriates. The results revealed that emotional, job related and social competencies have a strong relationship with performance of expatriates. The findings also support the role of cultural adjustment in mediating the relationship between competencies and performance. The findings of this study support the results from some earlier studies and also bring out several new ideas such as the importance of emotional competencies as compared to the other competencies. The findings of this study have significantly contributed to the advancement of knowledge in job performance and cultural adjustment and it is evident that expatriate competencies facilitate expatriates job performance and cultural adjustment. The implications are in the areas of expatriate selection, training and support practices. The results of this study will add to the current body of knowledge as well as assist in creating foundational solutions to ensure success in expatriate global assignments in Malaysia
