Abstract
This chapter is reported in three parts. This chapter first provides a brief introduction about Structure Equation Modeling (SEM) and its definition and types. The purpose of this introduction is to illustrate the reasons for using SEM and the procedures used in the analysis. This chapter then reports data analysis of the measurement models for Learning Style, Managerial Tacit Knowledge, Adaptive Flexibility, and Expatriate Adjustment. In this part, this study will test the data reliability and validity and subsequently introduce the measurement models for the variables and identify the final factors that will be brought in the structure model.
