Summary:The current study explores the subjective adaptation level of Syrian emigrant families in Algeria according to the Montgomery model. The variables in this study, the elements of subjective adaptation, include salary, whether the emigrants’ jobs utilises their skills, overall satisfaction, whether their jobs aid acculturation, job security, and current jobs versus expectations. We collected data using a structured questionnaire, which we gave to 49 Syrian emigrants living in Jijel and Algiers for a period of nine months in 2016. We analyzed the data using SPSS Windows 20. The study concludes by registering negative orientation toward the majority of the subjective adaptation elements, with positive orientations towards a few. Results of the emigrants’ characteristics correlation display significant impact of their type of work, sex, year of arrival, language, and salary variables, respectively, on the emigrants’ subjective adaptation levels.
