With the continuous advance of China's reform and opening up and the continuous improvement of the level of opening up, with the growing strength of China's comprehensive national strength and economic, more and more foreign multinationals to set up a subsidiary, R \u0026 D institutions or regional headquarters in China; with At the same time, there are more and more multinational companies expatriates to work in China. As the the forefront of China's reform and opening up and China's largest economic center, Shanghai has naturally become a \How these expatriates of multinational companies in Shanghai as soon as possible to adjust to adapt to the local environment in Shanghai, how to integrate into the local life in Shanghai as soon as possible, become important issues in front of them.

Finally, this study expatriates adaptation and job performance of development. (1) The proposed expatriates adjust to three dimensions, and the relationship between the three dimensions of research and analysis.

Statistical results show that: (1) the specific conclusions of the expatriate social networks impact on job performance: expatriate social networks have a positive impact on the size of the job performance; expatriate social network the host government staff proportion of job performance have a positive impact; expatriate social network tightness positive effect on job performance; expatriate social networks have a positive impact on the frequency of job performance. Expatriates social network of cultural diversity on job performance have a positive impact on expatriate social network density have a positive influence on job performance did not get the support of the inspection. (2) expatriate spouse support positive effect on job performance. (3) expatriates adapt have a significant impact on job performance, specific conclusions: the overall expatriate adapt better the better the performance of their work; expatriates interactive adapt better the better the performance of their work; outside sent officers to adjust to the better, the better their job performance. (4) adaptation plays an intermediary role in the social network on job performance, Conclusion: Overall adjust the to adapt plays an intermediary role in the expatriate social network size impact on job performance; overall adjustment to adapt to the work of the government of the host country in the social network of expatriates the proportion of the host government staff in the social network of expatriates impact on job performance plays an intermediary role in personnel proportion of job performance; interactive adaptation plays an intermediary role in the expatriate social network size impact on job performance; interactive adaptation plays an intermediary role; work adaptation plays an intermediary role in the proportion of expatriate social network the host government staff job performance; work to adapt expatriate social networks tightness of the job performance plays an intermediary role. (5) The adjustment to adapt to the relationship between the expatriates. Overall expatriate adaptation possible, its interaction adapt better; the overall expatriate adapt better and better adapt its work; expatriates interactive adaptation possible, restructure its operations to adapt to better . (6) adaptation plays an intermediary role in the expatriate spouse support on job performance, specific conclusions: interactive adaptation in spousal support plays an intermediary role in job performance; work adaptation of spouse support on job performance from intermediary role. Overall adapt support plays an intermediary role in the spouse support on job performance has not been verified. This study to existing expatriates and, at the same time overcome the deficiencies in the previous study, the main innovations may have the following aspects: First, the study of Innovation. Expatriate social networks and spouse support integrated in the same model, and its research and expatriates to adjust the relationship between adaptation and job performance.
