The Involvement is the moderator variable, and the Quality of Work Life would be the consequent. The study displayed the relationship between expatriate types and work-family conflict for the multi-national corporations expatriate. In the other hand, the workers in different expatriate types have different working and family demands. This study will give a help for the managers to establish the suitable incentive to the expatriates. Let the expatriate assignments will be more successful. The entity paper questionnaires sent out for collecting the data, and 223 were gathered. 600 of total questionnaires were sent. The response rate was about 37.2%. Analysis of multi-variance and simple regression model were need to test the hypotheses. We found that the long-term type expatriates have higher degree of work conflict than other types. The expectation of the expatriates in the working domain is much more than in the family domain. For the compensation of the expatriate assignment, the expatriates preferred to give the intangible acquirement than the tangible profits. The corporation managers should give the long-term type expatriates more supportive mechanism and help them to reduce word-family conflict. Further, the multi national corporation managers have better giving expatriates more empowerment for self-actualization. The more chance of learning and trial, the more willingness of expatriates decide to accept for foreign assignment.
