French term or phrase: administration

This concerns an amendment to an employee's employment agreement proposing his expatriation or foreign posting. I don't like how the word 'administration' sounds in this sentence; any suggestions? To me it sounds 'foreign' and not natural.

Le salarié est rattaché, en ce qui concerne son administration, à la société XX.

administration IN THIS CONTEXT management and administration

Explanation:
I think this may be rendered as "for the purposes of management and administration, the employee shall be under the authority of the company" or something similar. If this person is going to work abroad, then, they may enjoy some autonomy but will have to report to someone in the head office, who will carry out their performance appraisal too.
