In 2018, Bader et al. published research showing evidence that the level of workplace harassment experienced by expatriates varied according to the expatriate’s gender and the culture of the nation in which they were working. Furthermore, Bader et al. found that the level of harassment experienced influenced important outcomes such as job satisfaction and work-related frustration. Recent research, however, has shown that research results often fail to replicate in subsequent research studies (Anvari & Lakens, 2018; Maxwell et al., 2015; Open Science Collaboration, 2015). In fact, recent replications (Obenauer & Kalsher, 2022; Ubaka et al., 2022) of seminal research on employment discrimination (Rosette et al., 2008) have failed to fully replicate the findings of their target study. Bader et al.’s paper has been downloaded more than 1300 times per year since publication and has already received more than 50 citations. Considering the impact of this work within the context of what is often referred to as a replication crisis, this research is a prime target for replication. Additionally, given the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on expatriates, there is a need to investigate if and how our knowledge of the previous expatriate experience is applicable to today’s context. Building on this, displays of Asian hate that have been observed since the pandemic have illustrated a need to extend Bader et al.’s work beyond looking at gender differences to include race/ethnicity as a factor that would influence harassment experienced
