“…When employees receive support from their superiors, they will have more resources to deal with the problems of work-family conflict, maintain their job and life satisfaction, and retain their current jobs (Zhang, Rasheed, & Luqman, 2020). Li et al (2020) claim that it is important for organizations to take care of migrant workers' families, their needs, and career-related concerns. Such a relationship would positively affect employees' emotions and their perception of the organization.…”

Background: In contemporary economies the migrant workforce is increasing around the world and represents a challenge both for domestic economies, companies and economic flows. The emergence of the European labor market highlighted a major lack of a qualified workforce and a rapid spread of migrant workers especially in the labor intensive economic sectors. In this perceptive, by striving to attract foreign workers with unique and complementary skills, knowledge, and ideas to the workplace, managers encounter many obstacles. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify challenges managers in European companies face in the process of attracting and managing migrant workers. In this article, we analyze the impact of the migrant workforce on the internal labor market transformations and identifying the main managerial challenges for the European companies and management during the attracting, mobilizing and managing the migrant workers in economic system. Study design/methodology/approach: The authors evaluate both the existent assumptions in literature and conduct a systematic review of the managerial approaches in the field. A quantitative approach was employed. The data that contains responses from 1,127 managers from ten European countries, five EU and five non-EU member states, was collected between August 2021 and April 2022. Findings/conclusions: The main study results reveal that the most common obstacles and challenges that managers face occur in the process of recruitment, socialization and integration, training and development, workplace operations, and innovation. The study recommends a permanent focus of company management on these issues. It also lays the foundations for a theoretical framework that provides a better understanding of the significance of creating efficient and specific management policies for foreign workers based on employee diversity. Limitations/future research: The present study is limited in scope as the sample only includes managers from ten countries. Each research question can represent a broad enough basis for independent research, so this work opens up the possibility for numerous researches that can be treated as a continuation and expansion of the existing work.

Types of jobs in the city require professional workers who have certain skills and expertise with a high level of education for professionals who have specific expertise (specialization) who work in formal employment.…”

“…While on the other hand, the pattern of household, food, and non-food consumption expenditure in Mamuju Regency, respectively between 52.76 percent and 47. 24 percent, shows that the standard of living of the people in Mamuju Regency is still relatively low [5]. Pay attention the above; there appears that a contradiction between the pattern of household consumption expenditure and the high average household expenditure in urban areas, so there is an issue that lodging costs in Mamuju Regency, especially in Mamuju District, are relatively higher compared to lodging costs in the City Makassar or other districts in South Sulawesi.…”

This study aims to find out the determinants of formal sector migrant workers in Mamuju Regency commuting to their area of origin on weekends at least once in the last month when the survey was conducted. The data used in this study are primary data with a sample size of 200 respondents in several government and private agencies. Sampling is done by using purposive accidental sampling. The analysis technique used is the Binary Logistic Regression Analysis. The results showed that (1) out of 200 migrant workers in the formal sector surveyed in August-September 2017, there were 119 people (59.5%) commuting. Among the 119 commuters, there were 13 (10.92%) commuting weekly in the last month, and 54 (45.39%) commuting once a month. (2) The factors of age, level of education, the status of residence in Mamuju, and the cost of living in Mamuju are stimulus factors making migrant workers decide to do the commuting to the migrant's home area, while other variables are not significant. (3) Another factor is the availability of inadequate real estate facilities and infrastructure, where the economic sector is not a base sector in Mamuju Regency so that it allows migrant workers to commute to their area of origin on weekends, especially for migrant workers coming from Makassar City and other regions that have more complete real estate facilities.

Due to the constraints of the rural-urban household registration systems, the migrants of China currently receive varying degrees of medical services. The fact that many migrants choose to return to their hometowns due to the inequality in medical care has been a social phenomenon. Using data from the 2017 China Migrant Dynamic Survey (CMDS), this paper explores the effect of medical services on population migration. Probit regression analysis method was utilized to examine the relationship between medical service level (MSL) and medical service improvement (MSI) and return behavior (RB), as well as the interaction effect between MSL and MSI, and the moderating effect of health status (HS) and health education (HE). Multiple heterogeneity tests were performed. Grouping regressions were conducted using rural household registration (RHR), grouping regressions were conducted using new rural cooperative medical system (NRCMS), and multinomial Probit regressions were conducted using migration distance and age factors. The following findings were obtained. First, when MSL is low but MSI is high in the locality of household registration, the return probability of migrants will increase. MSL also has a positive interaction effect with MSI, and they jointly increase the return probability of migrants; Second, HS and HE have a positive moderating effect on the relationships between MSL and RB and between MSI and RB; Third, heterogeneity analysis indicates that the migrants with RHR or the migrants not covered by the NRCMS are more prone to return due to the reason of medical service. In addition, the analysis also shows that middle-aged and older people who return across provinces have the highest tendency to return due to medical services and young people have the lowest propensity to return across and within provinces. The study could help local governments change their public medical care policies and close the gap between medical services in different areas. As a result, it is necessary to understand population migration trends and promote New Urbanization Strategies.
