“…The latter study, conducted as a longitudinal cohort analysis, found that these job offers impacted positively on the career prospects of the expatriates, ultimately resulting in expatriate turnover. Additionally, Sanchez, Spector and Cooper (2000) provide examples of repatriates who left their companies upon return only to accept jobs in alternative companies that provided more favourable career prospects.…”

“…Other studies leverage this perspective to understand the experience of a both/and challenge. For instance, Sanchez, Spector, and Cooper (2000) proposed that the internal conflict experienced by expatriate executives stems from polarizing two cultural identities as mutually exclusive. In comparison, effective coping entails learning to live with dual identification.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. ?" Yet increasingly studies apply a paradox perspective, shifting the question to: "how can we engage both A and B simultaneously?" Despite accumulating exemplars, commonalities across paradox studies remain unclear, and ties unifying this research community weak. To energize further uses of a paradox perspective, we build from past reviews to explicate its role as a metatheory. Contrasting this lens to contingency theory, we illustrate its meta-theoretical nature. We then dive deeper to sharpen the focus and widen the scope of a paradox perspective. Identifying core elements viewed from a paradox perspective -underlying assumptions, central concepts, nature of interrelationships and boundary conditions -offers a guide, informing the practice of paradox research. Next, we illustrate diverse uses of this lens. We conclude by exploring implications and next steps, stressing the rising need for paradox research, as complexity, change and ambiguity intensify demands for both/and approaches in theory and practice.

“…As a result, individual careers become international and boundaryless (Carr, Inkson, & Thorn, 2005) leading to critical importance for corporations to understand how to identify and select potential expatriates (Altman & Baruch, 2012;Collings, Scullion, & Morley, 2007;McEvoy & Buller, 2013). Working abroad is regarded as an opportunity for individuals' career advancement (Chew & Zhu, 2001), for increasing individuals' work-related competencies (Suutari & Mäkelä, 2007), and for personal development (Osland, 2000;Sanchez, Spector, & Cooper, 2000). In addition to the relevance and importance of assigned expatriates, research and practice in the past decade have shifted their focus towards self-initiated expatriation.…”

Working in the "global village": The influence of cultural intelligence on the intention to work abroad ** Firms' international activities require an early identification of potential employees with an intention to work abroad. Based on social cognitive theory the current study examines the influence of prior international exposure and cultural intelligence on the individual intention to work abroad. In particular, we examine the influence of language skills, international experience, and networks abroad on the intention to work abroad through cultural intelligence and the moderating role of cultural distance on this mediated relationship. Utilizing a sample of 518 German business students we show that networks abroad have a direct influence on the intention to work abroad, while cultural intelligence fully mediates the relationship between language skills as well as international experience and the intention to work abroad. Cultural distance moderates this mediation for two of the four cultural intelligence dimensions. Arbeiten im "globalen Dorf": Der Einfluss von kultureller Intelligenz auf die Absicht, im Ausland zu arbeiten Die internationalen Aktivitäten von Unternehmen erfordern eine frühe Identifikation von Mitarbeitern für potentielle Auslandseinsätze. Basierend auf der sozialkognitiven Theorie untersuchen wir den Effekt des vorherigen internationalen Einflusses sowie der kulturellen Intelligenz auf die individuelle Intention, eine Position im Ausland anzunehmen. Insbesondere betrachten wir den Einfluss von Fremdsprachenkenntnissen, vorheriger Auslandserfahrung und des bestehenden Auslandsnetzwerkes auf die Intention, im Ausland zu arbeiten und die moderierende Funktion der kulturellen Distanz auf die mediierende Wirkung der kulturellen Intelligenz auf diese Beziehung. Auf der Grundlage einer Stichprobe von 518 deutschen Studenten der Wirtschaftswissenschaften zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass das Auslandsnetzwerk einen direkten Einfluss mediiert, während kulturelle Intelligenz den Effekt von Fremdsprachenkenntnissen und internationaler Erfahrung auf die Absicht, im Ausland zu arbeiten, mediiert. Die kulturelle Distanz moderiert diese Mediation für zwei der vier Dimensionen der kulturellen Intelligenz.
