Embeddedness and the International Workforce: Stylized Facts and Future Research Directions

Abstract: Job embeddedness (JE) theory is concerned with forces that keep an employee from leaving his or her job, while binding him or her to the organization, the location, people and issues at work. Presently, scholars increasingly pay attention to the JE of expatriates in order to explain retention in the host organization. Until today, this vein of research has brought various insights that are difficult to overview.

“…First, this paper adds a deeper understanding of how motivation and organisational embeddedness affect international assignees, which is an important ongoing discussion (Tharenou and Caulfield, 2010;Harris et al, 2011;Ren et al, 2014). This study explains how organisational embeddedness differently predicts performance, as well as subjective and objective career success, for AEs and SIEs (Linder, 2016). Second, a contribution is made to understanding the different types of expatriates; a discussion which has emerged in recent years and still persists.…”

Desta forma, o conceito apresenta grande potencial para a compreensão a respeito da influência de diversos fatores contextuaisinternos e externos à organização -no comportamento do trabalhador que vão além da permanência em seu emprego (Lee et al, 2014).…”

“…É importante notar ainda que, as dimensões de ajustamento e sacrifícios também têm seu papel no arrefecimento de choques (Holtom & Inderrieden, 2006 Já em relação a práticas que a organização pode aplicar para estimular o desenvolvimento do enraizamento no trabalho, é possível citar a socialização de novos empregados. As táticas de socialização são métodos utilizados pelas organizações para ajudar profissionais recém contratados a se adaptar ao novo ambiente de trabalho, de modo a reduzir a ansiedade e ensinar atitudes, comportamentos e conhecimentos necessários ao bom desempenho (Allen, 2006;Cable & Parsons, 2001;Jones, 1986 (Linder, 2016).…”
