Navigating the boomerang mobility process: A conceptual framework and agenda for future research
本文提出回旋镖流动过程的概念模型,涵盖员工离职后重返原雇主的前因、中介过程、结果和边界条件,为职业流动研究提供新视角。
Abstract What happens when people leave an organization but return to it later? Expanding the dominant organizational and HRM perspectives on boomerang employment, we advocate for a career transition approach that incorporates an individual focus. We define the boomerang mobility process as a series of career transitions, starting with the exit transition from the original employer, and ending with the boomerang transition when that employee returns to that original employer. We offer a comprehensive conceptual model of the boomerang mobility process, including its antecedents, mediating processes, outcomes, and boundary conditions. By providing insights into the organizational and individual considerations that may influence employees' decision to rejoin an organization, this conceptual model expands the career mobility scholarship and offers a more nuanced understanding of individuals' career development.
