Abstract: This article analyzes the paradoxical behaviour of repatriates who are frustrated yet remain loyal to their organization, using Marcel Mauss's gift/countergift theory, which is a still-emerging in management science. Considering an expatriation experience as a "total social fact" that includes an individual's past, present and future and connects all their personal and professional dimensions, we set forth a renewed perspective on the period of repatriation and offer managerial recommendations that take into account the new mechanisms brought to light.
