Summary:	During PhD research in the mid-2000s into what organisational support mechanisms might influence the performance of Australian expatriates, Leanda Care had expectations that data would be collected from at least 300 expatriates and their supervisors in Hong Kong and Macau: data collection which was expected to take 2 months caused anxiety over a period of 18 months.
