Özet:

A management conception changing in international field is needed when increasing importance of human resource in work life integrated with globalization and competition. Employees who are sent to abroad, called as expat in English, working in international field, having a specific experience and their private problems related to work life form the subject of this study. It is thought that the English name of the concept can be used in the study since there is no word corresponding the concept in Turkish. In order to prevent the problems influencing the success of expats, management of these people should be different from the local employees since they have significant differences from local employees about their characteristics and work conditions. In this context, Human Resource Management should fulfill important tasks in order to contribute to the process. Therefore, firstly, the concepts of “expat” and “expatriate management” are handled; and then, the spesific activities related to expats in the functions of Human Resource Management named “recruitment”, “performance management”, “compensation”, “training” and “career management” are mentioned in the study. In addition to this, problems of repatriates and their solutions are examined
