dc.description.abstract |
International assignments represent an important form of migration in the global
economy. In contrast to most other migrants, international assignees enjoy a
relatively privileged, position in the labor market. Authored by a diverse team
of academics and practitioners, this paper draws on insights from empirical
research and unpublished examples from practice to explore how international
assignees can be supported before, during and after the international
assignment. We move beyond the traditional expatriate cycle as a frame of
reference, arguing that many of the challenges from the individual perspective
are continuous, often pertinent well before and well after the assignment. We
call for a reframing of career support for international assignees to reflect
the reality of the experience. We propose that future studies of the impact of
international assignments on career use more sophisticated methods including
longitudinal studies of career trajectories and experiences of support
practices. (138) (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
