“…Although previous studies have investigated the link between embeddedness and repatriation intention only for SIEs, we followed recent calls for more comparative studies between AEs and SIEs as a largely unexplored aspect in expatriation research (e.g., Cerdin & Le Pargneux, 2010;Froese & Peltokorpi, 2013;Von Borell de Araujo, et al, 2014). Extending the logic that on-and off-the-job embeddedness are important for understanding the repatriation intention of expatriates and, in particular, for understanding the different repatriation behaviors of AEs and SIEs, we contribute to expatriation research by revealing how on-and off-the-job embeddedness are differently linked to repatriation intention for the two expatriate types.…”

“…In this article, we respond to calls for more comparative research in examining the differences in the repatriation process between AEs and SIEs (e.g., Cerdin & Le Pargneux, 2010;Froese & Peltokorpi, 2013;Von Borell de Araujo, Mendes Teixeira, Da Cruz, & Malini, 2014).…”

“…The diversity of national backgrounds and of host countries is a particular strength of our sample because it reduces the possibility that our effects are confounded with culture. Much research on repatriation intention has considered expatriates from one national background moving to the same host country (e.g., Reiche, et al, 2011;Tharenou & Caulfield, 2010;Von Borell de Araujo, et al, 2014). For example, using a sample of 546 Australian SIEs, Tharenou and Caulfield (2010) suggest that both on-and off-the-job embeddedness are critical in SIEs' repatriation intention.…”

Embeddedness and the Repatriation Intention of Assigned and Self-Initiated Expatriates

et al. 2017

Expatriation research has been intrigued by the question of how to prevent the unplanned return of expatriates to their home country. Although a majority of studies have focused on assigned expatriates (AEs), only recently have researchers expanded the scope of analysis by focusing on self-initiated expatriates (SIEs). For SIEs, research has identified job embeddedness as a key explanatory concept for early repatriation without yet acknowledging its potential to also explain the early expatriation of AEs. However, because AEs and SIEs differ in important motivational and behavioural aspects, the lack of comparative studies prohibits a deeper understanding of the mechanisms through which job embeddedness influences early repatriation. We build on belongingness theory to conceptualize early repatriation as a compensatory reaction of expatriates to an inhibited need to belong. Using a unique sample of 345 expatriates from 40 countries, we show that off-the-job embeddedness is more important for explaining the repatriation intention of AEs than of SIEs, whereas on-the-job embeddedness is more important for explaining the repatriation of SIEs compared to AEs. Our integrative model carries important theoretical implications for expatriation research and provides managerial implications for recruiting and retaining AEs and SIEs.

“…Em seguida, a Grã-Bretanha substituiu Portugal na condição de referência cultural e em termos de economia. A posteriori, a França assumiu essa posição, até que os Estados Unidos ocuparam tal posto de referência a partir da Segunda Guerra Mundial (Araujo et al, 2014;Motta et al, 2001). Desde então, no contexto empresarial, as relações de brasileiros com os Estados Unidos têm sido caracterizadas predominantemente pela admiração, explicada pelo estrangeirismo (Bandeira, 2004) e manifestada com base em uma reprodução dos referenciais de gestão oriundos do país norte-americano.…”

“…O Brasil, diante da crise financeira global, tem sido apontado frequentemente como um dos destinos mais procurados para profissionais que buscam se recolocar no mercado global (Araujo, Teixeira, Cruz, & Malini, 2014;Brookfield Global Relocation Services, 2012;G.

O Sotaque Estadunidense Representa uma Vantagem em Decisões de Emprego no Brasil?

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar a relação entre o sotaque de um candidato a uma vaga de trabalho hipotética, bem como suas características pessoais (competência percebida e cordialidade), e os julgamentos relacionados ao desempenho deste no trabalho pretendido (adequação ao cargo, probabilidade de promoção e de contratação). Para tal, foi realizado um experimento com uma amostra de 304 alunos e ex-alunos de um curso de MBA em Gestão de Pessoas, de uma instituição de ensino superior sediada na cidade de São Paulo. Os resultados mostraram que, comparados a um candidato a uma vaga de trabalho brasileiro, o profissional com um sotaque estadunidense no idioma português foi mais bem avaliado em termos de adequação ao cargo, probabilidade de contratação e competência percebida. O candidato brasileiro, por sua vez, recebeu avaliações mais favoráveis em termos de probabilidade de promoção e cordialidade percebida. Uma vez que foram identificados vieses nos julgamentos relacionados ao trabalho realizados pelos participantes da pesquisa, sugere-se que as empresas busquem contratar selecionadores menos propensos a julgamentos estereotipados de candidatos a vagas de trabalho.
