“…Milne (2001) claims that better qualified and fitter young SIEs aim to possess more skills when they choose to return. When compared to their compatriots who choose to remain abroad, returning early-career researchers display higher levels of parochialism, manifested by stronger community ties and patriotic loyalty, as well as geographically constrained employment search (Israel & Cohen, 2022).…”

Az expatrióta irodalmon belül a nem vállalati kiküldötteknek (önerejéből külföldön elhelyezkedő; self-initated expatriates; SIE) bejáratott irodalma van a menedzsmentben, azonban a pályakezdő expatrióták sajátosságaival eddig még senki sem foglalkozott. Jelen összefoglaló cikk célja, hogy azonosítsa és elemezze azokat a publikációkat, amelyek kifejezetten erre a csoportra fókuszálnak, azaz, akik úgy döntenek, hogy külföldön kezdik meg a pályafutásukat, beleértve a munkatapasztalat nélküli vagy csekély szakmai tapasztalattal rendelkezőket. Külön hangsúlyt helyezünk a karriermotivációjuk, viselkedésük, és globális karrierhez való hozzájárulásuk megértésére. A cikk két tekintetben járul hozzá a szakirodalomhoz, egyrészt összefoglalja a témában az elmúlt évtizedekben készített kutatások lényeges következtetéseit, másrészt információval szolgál a pályakezdő önerejéből külföldön elhelyezkedő munkavállalók menedzseléséről. Ezen felül jövőbeli kutatási irányokat is kínál, rámutatva az észlelt hiányosságokra és elősegítve a levont következtetések gyakorlati alkalmazását.

This article maps from a critical and comparative perspective how scholars at risk are currently being integrated into the European research infrastructure, as well as in various EU and non-EU Member States. The focus is on three countries ranging from older to newer EU members to one non-EU member state—Hungary, Romania and the United Kingdom—as well as on EU-level organisations. We draw on twelve in-depth interviews conducted with key stakeholders involved in the process of academic migration (non-governmental organisations, EU and national level actors) to identify key issues concerning academics at risk. Finally, we call for a robust EU-level response to an issue that is currently inadequately addressed by national governments, professional associations and NGOs. As we argue, the focus on mobility as a factor supporting research excellence in the regular European research infrastructure can have negative unintended outcomes for scholars at risk. For many of them, rewarding mobility can entail the threat of losing their legal status in temporary places of migration. What is needed is a nuanced approach for scholars at risk in a diverse range of situations, which should involve closer cooperation between international academic bodies and EU policy makers, and complement support for those who need to escape to third countries with the offer of remote work in the country where they are able to obtain a secure residence permit.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the career trajectories of Chinese self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) in Hungary over time, this study was conducted as exploratory research. The thesis follows the framework of the "two-step migration pathway and alternative career trajectories", which establishes a connection between the concept of expatriation and the specific journey taken by individuals from being international students to becoming early career self-initiated expatriates, as well as compares the career outcomes of Chinese self-initiated expatriates with individuals holding Chinese and Hungarian credentials. The subsequent section presents the new scientific findings, organised into the literature review and empirical article. 1. Literature review (Understanding the Early Career Self-Initiated Expatriation: A Review and Directions for Future Research): utilising both the functionalist and interpretivist approaches, the study explores the characteristics of early-career SIEs, which delves into their transitional experiences, their inclination towards novelty and innovation, and the limited consideration given to familiarity. The expatriation motives are analysed from the perspective of structural factors, organisational aspects, and individual abilities. 2. Three empirical articles: following to the structure of the "two-step migration pathway and alternative career trajectories" framework. 2.1 A qualitative exploration of the socioeconomic status and motivations of Chinese students in Hungary: Three important factors influenced lower-middle-class Chinese students’ choices to study in Hungary: the constraints of reality, educational aspirations, and a desire for self-expression.  The socioeconomic status of Chinese students studying in Hungary is lower than that of those studying in Anglo-Saxon or other Western countries  Those with scholarships and tuition-fee payers were not socially distinct groups because both were financially constrained  Their international studies represented a conscious step towards their economic, social, and cultural advancement, and childhood hobbies and extracurricular activities contributed to their upward mobility as well. 2.2 Career Trajectories of Self-Initiated Early Career Chinese Expatriates in Hungary: two-step migration pathway perspective? The participants had three options for their early career after studying in Hungary: repatriation, remaining, or moving to another European country.  The decision whether to repatriate or remain is heavily influenced by relational factors, particularly family concerns related to the Confucianism  The decision between repatriation and mobility is heavily influenced by work requirements  The decision between remaining and mobility were often influenced by actual language proficiency 2.3 Does Local Education Matter in Semi-periphery country? Comparative Analyses of Early Career Chinese Self-initiated Expatriates in Hungary: The findings reveal two distinct types of early-career Chinese SIEs with Chinese credentials in Hungary: those using their Hungarian experience as a stepping stone for long-term career mobility and those who perceive it as beneficial for their career objectives. Chinese SIEs with Hungarian credentials can also accumulate career capital, but their futures remain more uncertain. The findings also reveal the impact of gaining qualifications in Hungary, for Chinese SIEs with different credentials did not have a clearly defined career path.  Chinese SIEs with strong Chinese credentials exhibit autonomy in their career decisions. They view their international experiences in Hungary as a means to autonomously shape their future careers in other European countries.  Chinese SIEs with lower Chinese credentials demonstrate high levels of self-efficacy, indicating their expectation of their competence improvement. They believe that their experiences in Hungary contribute to their competence, which will benefit their careers.  Although some of the Chinese SIEs with Hungarian credentials have uncertain future, they still have a strong perception of the cultural and social accumulation.
