ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to explore the individual differences in professional Chinese immigrants (PCIs) acculturation attitudes of assimilation, integration, separation and marginalization to uncover PCIs' preferred option. It then identifies the primary predictors for the acculturation attitudes of assimilation, integration, separation and marginalization. The chapter also aims to test the effect of acculturation attitudes on job satisfaction, affective workgroup commitment and work engagement. It presents results of preliminary analyses of the data, starting with an introduction of the demographic characteristics of the sample and a discussion on potential non-response bias. The chapter discusses the concern of common method variance, outliers and normality of the constructs. It analyses the reliability of measures used in the survey for the sample and establishes unidimensionality of the scales through Principal Components Analysis (PCA). Finally, the chapter examines the impact of acculturation on job satisfaction, affective workgroup commitment and work engagement through between subjects MANOVA, one-way between-groups ANCOVA and standard multiple regression.
