There is interesting research about performance management related to expatriates and suggestions for designing effective solutions especially for their unique needs. 
 
“It seems that most organizations evaluate and manage expatriates on an ad-hoc basis, often leading dissatisfaction with the outcomes and conduct of the performance management system, and subsequent dip in performance levels and quality.”
