WANDERLUST TO WONDERLAND? KARTONIERT (TB)

Expatriation has been a topic of much research recently. The important role expatriates play in
the internationalisation of an organisation and the resultant effects of such a work experience
on the expatriates themselves  have fuelled the interest in this domain. This edited volume
serves to provide fresh and timely insights into four areas  covering the individual  over the
organisational  to the macro-level. First  the career paths of the expatriates  which not only
garners them the career capital they may be able to utilise later in their career but also  the
impacts of such an experience on their longer-term career success are in focus. The second
block concerns the expatriation phase itself. A critical look is taken into the expatriates'
identity and how it changes over time. Moreover  it discusses factors influencing the
expatriates' well-being  embeddedness  and socio-cultural integration during their time abroad.
Third  some key global mobility management challenges that organisations face  when managing
expatriation  are introduced -such as flexible language management and how to become an
international employer. Finally  insights are provided into the role of the host country
policies - more specifically hostile environment and migration policies - on expatriate
attitudes and behaviour  which has received less attention in previous research. All four areas
are finally brought together to present a rich overview of future research questions that shall
stimulate researchers and practitioners in their further deliberations. The chapters are based
on selected results from the respective research subprojects of the Early Stage Researchers of
the Horizon 2020 Global Mobility of Employees (GLOMO) project. This project was funded under
the European Union's Research and Innovation Programme H2020 in the framework of the Marie
Sklodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No 765355.
