Expatriate turnover affects everyone in the organization. The virtue of global expansion of multinational organizations, international business has grown rapidly, leading to heightened pressures on organizations to expand operations into the global business arena. A vast number of employees are employed abroad. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between cultural adaption to job satisfaction. The quantitative correlational study investigated the relationship among 92 expatriates living and working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Socio-Cultural Adaptive Scale (SCAS) and the Job in General Scale (JIG) were employed to collect the data. Statistical analyses including descriptive statistics, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Regression Analysis were performed. The results indicated a moderately low but statistically significant relationship between cultural adaption to job satisfaction (JIG) and the overall SCAS (.38r). Organizational leaders and hiring officials of expatriates might consider using the tools such as onboarding initiatives, training, and host country awareness to increase expatriate cultural adaptation. Adapted, satisfied, committed, loyal and productive expatriate employees are pivotal to multinational organizational success.
