    This dissertation explores antecedents and outcomes of expatriate career success, considering different types of expatriates and the myriad career trajectories available in today’s interconnected world. Academic research often treats expatriates as a homogeneous group. That approach can downplay the transformative experiences of a diverse group accumulating a range of international work experience. This has led to studies with inconclusive findings, revealing both positive (e.g., Ramaswami et al., 2016) and negative career effects (e.g., Benson & Pattie, 2008). As an outcome, there is a need to increase our understanding of the antecedents of expatriate career success. This research aims to convey a comprehensive understanding of the factors driving expatriate career success in the context of different countries, organisations, career paths, and roles. The research addresses knowledge gaps concerning both company assignees and self-initiated expatriates. To do so, it covers the career paths of those who repatriate to their home-country and remain there, those who re-expatriate to continue their career in another country, and those who extend expatriation to continue to work in the same country. The dissertation reviews empirical studies on the career impacts of expatriation to identify the antecedents of expatriate career success and the outcomes that follow. The constituent articles of the dissertation then apply modern career theories to identify the antecedents of expatriates’ career success following international work experience. Such theories underscore the developmental facets integral to high-density global work and how they influence the career success of different types of expatriates.TĂ€ssĂ€ vĂ€itöskirjassa tutkitaan ulkomailla työskentelyn vaikutuksia henkilön uramenestykseen sekĂ€ analysoidaan tekijöitĂ€, jotka vaikuttavat menestyksen asteeseen. Akateeminen tutkimus kĂ€sittelee usein ulkomailla työskentelijöitĂ€ homogeenisena ryhmĂ€nĂ€ ja keskittyy yritysten ulkomaille lĂ€hettĂ€mien expatriaattien uramenestykseen kotimaahan paluun jĂ€lkeen. Samalla kuitenkin merkittĂ€vĂ€ osa ulkomailla työskentelevistĂ€ henkilöistĂ€ on hakeutunut itsenĂ€isesti töihin ulkomaille ja kotimaahan paluun sijaan monet jatkavat työskentelyĂ€ uusissa tehtĂ€vissĂ€ ulkomailla. TĂ€stĂ€ johtuen on tarvetta lisĂ€tĂ€ ymmĂ€rrystĂ€ ulkomailla työskentelevien uramenestyksen edellytyksistĂ€ erilaiset tilanteet huomioiden. Aiempien tutkimusten tulokset ovat lisĂ€ksi epĂ€yhtenĂ€isiĂ€ paljastaen sekĂ€ positiivisia ettĂ€ negatiivisia uravaikutuksia. TĂ€mĂ€n tutkimuksen tavoitteena onkin tarjota kattava kĂ€sitys niistĂ€ tekijöistĂ€, jotka vaikuttavat eri tyyppisten ulkomailla työskentelevien henkilöiden uramenestykseen pidemmĂ€llĂ€ aikavĂ€lillĂ€ ulkomaan työkokemuksen jĂ€lkeen. LisĂ€ksi työssĂ€ kĂ€sitellÀÀn muita laajempia seurauksia ulkomailla työskentelyn uravaikutuksista. Tutkimuksessa on mukana henkilöitĂ€, jotka ovat palanneet kotimaahansa sekĂ€ niitĂ€, jotka ovat lĂ€hteneet uudelleen ulkomaille töihin tai pÀÀttĂ€neet jÀÀdĂ€ samaan paikkaan pidemmĂ€ksi aikaan töihin. Samoin mukana on itsenĂ€isesti ulkomaille töihin hakeutuneita henkilöitĂ€ sekĂ€ yritysten ulkomaille lĂ€hettĂ€miĂ€ työntekijöitĂ€. VĂ€itöskirjan ensimmĂ€inen artikkeli on systemaattinen kirjallisuuskatsaus ulkomaantyöskentelyn uravaikutuksia koskevista empiirisistĂ€ tutkimuksista. Artikkelissa tunnistetaan tutkimuksessa kĂ€ytettyjĂ€ teorioita sekĂ€ tutkimusten tuloksia. Tavoitteena on identifioida tulevaisuuden tutkimustarpeita sekĂ€ teorioita, joita ei ole vielĂ€ riittĂ€vĂ€sti hyödynnetty uratutkimuksessa kansainvĂ€lisessĂ€ kontekstissa. VĂ€itöskirjan empiiriset artikkelit soveltavat valittuja moderneja urateorioita ulkomailla työskentelyn uravaikutusten analysoimiseen. NĂ€mĂ€ teoriat korostavat kansainvĂ€lisessĂ€ työssĂ€ oppimiseen liittyviĂ€ kehityksellisiĂ€ nĂ€kökohtia, sillĂ€ ulkomailla työskentelyn ovat havaittu olevan erittĂ€in laajasti kehittĂ€vĂ€ kokemus, jolla on merkittĂ€viĂ€ uravaikutuksia henkilö työuraan myös pitkĂ€llĂ€ aikavĂ€lillĂ€.fi=vertaisarvioitu|en=peerReviewed

    Comment dĂ©velopper la crĂ©ativitĂ© des Ă©tudes utilisant la thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e ? Choix Ă©pistĂ©mologiques et stratĂ©gies pratiques dans la quĂȘte de crĂ©ativitĂ©.

    La thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e a Ă©tĂ© initialement dĂ©veloppĂ©e pour proposer une alternative aux mĂ©thodes hypothĂ©tico-dĂ©ductives, qui formaient le courant majeur de la sociologie des annĂ©es 1960, en visant Ă  crĂ©er de nouvelles connaissances en se fondant sur les pratiques sociales. Face Ă  l’ambition de vouloir crĂ©er de nouvelles connaissances au travers de l’utilisation de la thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e, de nombreux chercheurs mentionnent les difficultĂ©s inhĂ©rentes Ă  cette mĂ©thode dans le dĂ©veloppement de thĂ©ories innovantes (Fendt & Sachs, 2008; Guillemette, 2006; Shalley, Gilson, & Blum, 2000). Cependant, la crĂ©ativitĂ© reste une notion sous Ă©valuĂ©e dans la littĂ©rature associĂ©e Ă  la thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e. Les commentaires Ă  propos de la crĂ©ativitĂ© sont soit diffus(Charmaz, 2000 ; Glaser & Strauss, 1967 ; Strauss & Corbin, 1990) , soit limitĂ©s (Dey, 1999 ; Douglas, 2003 ; Fendt & Sachs, 2008 ; Goulding, 2001 ; Locke, 2001 ; Wells, 1995). Ce papier cherche Ă  clarifier dans quelles mesures la crĂ©ativitĂ© joue un rĂŽle dans le dĂ©veloppement d’une thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e, ainsi que comment atteindre un certain niveau de crĂ©ativitĂ©. Nous discutons d’abord les implications des choix Ă©pistĂ©mologiques dans les diffĂ©rentes versions de la thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e sur les potentialitĂ©s de crĂ©ativitĂ© dans le processus de recherche. Nous montrons que la place de la crĂ©ativitĂ© diffĂšre selon les approches utilisĂ©es : orthodoxe (Glaser and Strauss, 1967), pragmatique (Corbin & Strauss, 1990, 2008 ; Strauss & Corbin, 1990, 1998)ou constructiviste (Charmaz, 2000, 2006). Nous proposons trois stratĂ©gies de recherche permettant d’aider le chercheur dans sa quĂȘte de crĂ©ativitĂ©. Nous nous appuyons sur prĂšs de dix annĂ©es de pratique et d’enseignement de la thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e pour montrer comment les pratiques mentionnĂ©es peuvent aboutir Ă  une meilleure crĂ©ativitĂ© du chercheur. Nous ne proposons pas une liste exhaustive des techniques et stratĂ©gies mais mettons l’accent sur trois d’entre elles : le travail en groupe, les connaissances en art et la crĂ©ativitĂ© in vivo.Grounded Theory (GT) methodology was originally proposed as an alternative to hypothetic deductive methods, aiming at creating new knowledge on the basis of the emergence of latent social patterns. While this ambition of creating fresh knowledge seems appropriate, there are difficulties inherent to the development of innovative and creative grounded theories (Fendt & Sachs, 2008 ; Guillemette, 2006 ; Shalley et al., 2000). However, creativity is an under evoked issue in the literature on GT. Mentions of creativity in GT literature is either diffuse (Charmaz, 2000 ; Glaser & Strauss, 1967 ; Strauss & Corbin, 1990) or scant (Dey, 1999 ; Douglas, 2003 ; Fendt & Sachs, 2008 ; Goulding, 2001 ; Locke, 2001 ; Wells, 1995). Our communication contributes to clarify to what extent creativity has a place in GT as well as how to enhance it. We first discuss the implications of epistemological choices underlying different versions of GT on the role of creativity in the research process. From early works of the pioneers (Glaser and Strauss, 1967), new GT versions have been developed, either focusing on the tactics to develop grounded theories in a practical way (Corbin & Strauss, 1990, 2008 ; Strauss & Corbin, 1990, 1998) or on its epistemological background (Charmaz, 2000, 2006). We show that the quest for creativity differs among these existing GT approaches. We also present three creativity-enhancing strategies to help researchers in their quest for creativity. We derive from our almost 10-year experience of developing GT as researchers and instructors to show how these strategies lead to creativity. We do not ambition to give an exhaustive set of techniques and strategies, but we focus on three of them, namely the collective work, the use of art knowledge, and in vivo creativity.mĂ©thode de recherche; Ă©pistĂ©mologie; thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e; crĂ©ativitĂ©; sensibilitĂ© thĂ©orique; Management Research; Epistemology; Theoretical Sensitivity; Creativity; Grounded Theory;

    Exploring global careers : Individual mobility and organizational management

    Get PDF
    This chapter explores individual careers that involve living and working in different countries. Such international careers are increasingly common among global professionals. The management of global careerists is a challenge for organizations and global mobility (GM) departments due to the many micro- and mesoelements that have an influence on the outcomes of working abroad. Career counselors would benefit from understanding the key determinants of working in GM in order to refine suggested career interventions. Therefore, the chapter discusses organizational considerations, the roles of GM professionals, and their particular challenges. Moreover, it proposes a framework for GM work and presents reflections on the impact of COVID-19 on GM, delineating recent substantial changes to global careers and their impact on those who manage GM. The chapter predominantly focuses on the micro- and mesolevel perspectives and, at times, depicts the wider context.© American Psychological Association, 2023.

    La mĂ©thodologie proposĂ©e par la thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e permet dans une optique idĂ©ale de proposer des rĂ©sultats gĂ©nĂ©ralisables et objectifs. NĂ©anmoins, de nombreuses critiques sont adressĂ©es aux recherches basĂ©es sur cette mĂ©thode. Les principaux reproches sont le manque de rigueur dans l’analyse des donnĂ©es et la mauvaise restitution du travail du chercheur dans sa recherche. L’utilisation de logiciels d’aide Ă  l’analyse des donnĂ©es qualitatives permet de dĂ©velopper les possibilitĂ©s d’analyse des donnĂ©es au sein de la thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e. Ces logiciels utilisent la puissance de l’outil informatique pour Ă©pauler le chercheur dans de nombreuses tĂąches nĂ©cessaires Ă  l’élaboration d’une thĂ©orie enracinĂ©e de bonne qualitĂ©. En nous basant sur la littĂ©rature et une expĂ©rience de l’utilisation de ces outils de plus de sept ans, nous montrons de quelle façon ces logiciels permettent d’amĂ©liorer la qualitĂ© de la recherche basĂ©e sur la mĂ©thodologie enracinĂ©e. Nous mettons toutefois en garde les utilisateurs potentiels de tels logiciels en prĂ©sentant cinq piĂšges auxquels peuvent ĂȘtre confrontĂ©s les chercheurs dĂ©butants comme les chercheurs confirmĂ©s. Nous espĂ©rons ainsi contribuer Ă  la propagation de la bonne utilisation des logiciels d’aide Ă  l’analyse des donnĂ©es, en rendant explicites les possibilitĂ©s et inconvĂ©nients liĂ©s des ces logiciels.Logiciel; CAQDAS; Analyse des donnĂ©es; ThĂ©orie enracinĂ©e; processus d'analyse;
