| description | The objective of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to determine the relationship between job variables (role clarity, role discretion, role conflict, and role novelty) on work re-adjustment among repatriates. Secondly, is to test the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between job variables and work re-adjustment. Analyses of 104 repatriates using multiple regression analysis revealed that all job variables did not show relationship with work re-adjustment as hypothesized. However, it was found that social support is able to moderate the relationship between role discretion and work re-adjustment. Implications of the finding and areas for future research are discussed.
