Choices, Challenges, and Career Consequences of Global Work Experiences
综述了20年来关于全球工作经历的实证研究,包括外派人员、短期派遣等类型,分析了个人选择、挑战及职业后果,并构建了分类体系,为未来研究提供方向。
Over the past 20 years, there has been increased interest in global forms of employment. Researchers have identified and investigated a number of global work experiences, including corporate and self-initiated expatriates as well as more novel forms of corporate global employees (flexpatriates, short-term assignees, and international business travelers). In this article, the authors review the empirical research that has investigated individual choices, challenges, and career consequences associated with the various types of global work. They summarize and synthesize this growing body of literature and then develop a taxonomy of global work experiences. Based on their review of this literature and their taxonomy, the authors outline an agenda for future research on global work experiences.
