However, to become an expatriate specifically in Saudi, it warrants an intensified level of sacrifices from the Malaysian female nurses because they could not bring their families unlike in the Western countries, and a total change of lifestyles when they moved to the country. Such situation will challenge their cognition, emotional and behavioral (C.A.B.) ability to acculturate in the newly work environment, a cultural competency which is sought after for global job assignment. Thus, the overarching research question is to explore: How competent are Malaysian female nurses expatriates in terms of cognitive, emotions and behavioral (C.A.B.) when they adjust in a new working environment? Our study will employ a mix methodology--the primary method is qualitative, while the quantitative method will supplement the findings with statistics to support the in-depth descriptions. The main outcome of the study is the development of the CAB model for training expatriates in specific cultural-based context.
