How and when do prior international experiences lead to global work? A career motivation perspective
基于职业动机理论，研究了先前的国际经历密度如何通过全球身份认同和工作抱负影响全球工作参与，且这一过程在获得同伴对跨文化能力的积极反馈时更强。
Abstract While research suggests a link between individuals' prior international experiences and their future participation in global work, we know little about how and the conditions under which this relationship occurs. Drawing on career motivation theory, we conceptualize global identity as a mediator between individuals' density of prior international experiences—defined as the extent to which time spent in culturally novel countries has provided individuals with developmental opportunities—and their global work aspirations, which in turn leads to their global work involvement. Further, this multi‐stage mediation model holds mainly when individuals receive positive feedback regarding their intercultural competencies (i.e., cultural intelligence) from their peers. We test our model using a multi‐wave multi‐source dataset spanning 6 years. We discuss implications for the literatures on prior international experiences and global careers.
