Modes of engagement: migration, self‐initiated expatriation, and career development (2010, result): “These findings contradict with the results found by Myers and Pringle (2005)”
The influences of perceived organizational support and motivation on self-initiated expatriates’ organizational and community embeddedness (2017, background): “…because many SIEs decide to relocate to a host country to pursue cultural, personal, and career development opportunities (Jokinen et al., 2008; Myers & Pringle, 2005), it seems that career-related and adjustment related forms of support provided by employers are more intrinsically motivating.”
Dynamic cross-cultural competencies and global leadership effectiveness (2012, background): “Nonwork cross-cultural experiences have also been shown to be related to an accelerated professional development (Myers & Pringle, 2005).”
A test of the relationship between person–environment fit and cross-cultural adjustment among self-initiated expatriates (2014, background): “…while SIEs are generally described as individuals who decide themselves to move and work abroad (Inkson, Arthur, Pringle and Barry 1997; Suutari and Brewster 2000; Harrison, Shaffer and Bhaskar-Shrinivas 2004; Lee 2005; Myers and Pringle 2005; Vance 2005; Peltokorpi and Froese 2009, 2013).”
What makes them move abroad? Reviewing and exploring differences between self-initiated and assigned expatriation (2015, background): “…recent studies suggests that SIE women accrue benefits from their international experience in terms of accelerated career development, more interesting job opportunities, and an increase in capital accumulation (Fitzgerald & Howe-Walsh, 2008; Myers & Pringle, 2005; Thang, MacLachlan, & Goda, 2002).”
Addressing international mobility confusion – developing definitions and differentiations for self-initiated and assigned expatriates as well as migrants (2014, background): “…criterion, the term SIE is indicative of a more active individual who chooses to leave (Harrison, Shaffer and Bhaskar-Shrinivas 2004) and initiates the expatriation himself (Myers and Pringle 2005), whereas for AEs the transfer is often initiated by the company (Peltokorpi and Froese 2009).”
Organizational expatriates and self-initiated expatriates: differences in cross-cultural adjustment and job satisfaction (2013, background): “Although alleged to form a larger and more potent global labor-market segment than OEs (Myers and Pringle 2005), research on SIEs is limited.”
