Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the perceptions of self-initiated professional expatriates about their subjective/intangible and objective/tangible successes in both home and host countries.Design/methodology/approachThis is an empirical study using a survey methodology that included a sample of 211 (Male = 120 and Female = 91) employed professionals from India. Structural equation modeling, ANOVA and t-tests were used to analyze the data.FindingsThis study is unique in examining a sample from a homogeneous population from one country with one segment deciding to be SIEs while the other segment decided to return to their home country. The application of personal initiative (PI) theory and the theory of intrinsic motivation to SIEs is also relatively new. The focus on female professional SIEs from an emerging market to an advanced economy adds value to this study. The results have implications for employers and policy makers as well as US universities.Originality/valueThis study is unique in examining a sample from a homogenous population from one country with one segment deciding to be SIEs while the other segment deciding to return to their home country. The application of personal initiative (PI) theory to SIEs is also relatively new. The focus on female professional SIEs from an emerging market to an advanced economy adds value to this study. The results have implications for employers and policy makers as well as to US universities.

来自新兴市场的自发外派人员：个人主动性带来的职业福利

目的本文的目的是探讨自我创业的职业外籍人士对他们在母国和东道国取得的主观/无形和客观/有形成功的看法。设计/方法论/方法这是一项使用调查方法的实证研究，包括来自印度的211名（男性=120，女性=91）在职专业人员。采用结构方程建模、方差分析和t检验对数据进行分析。发现这项研究在检验来自一个国家的同质人口样本方面是独一无二的，其中一部分人决定成为SIE，而另一部分人则决定返回自己的祖国。个人主动性（PI）理论和内在动机理论在SIE中的应用也是相对较新的。关注从新兴市场到发达经济体的女性专业SIE为本研究增加了价值。研究结果对雇主、政策制定者以及美国大学都有影响。原创性/价值这项研究在检验来自一个国家的同质人口样本方面是独一无二的，其中一部分人决定成为SIE，而另一部分人则决定返回本国。个人能动性理论在SIE中的应用也相对较新。关注从新兴市场到发达经济体的女性专业SIE为本研究增加了价值。研究结果对雇主和政策制定者以及美国大学都有影响。

期刊介绍： Careers and Development are inter-related fields of study with connections to many academic disciplines, organizational practices and policy developments in the emerging knowledge economies and learning societies of the modern world. Career Development International provides a platform for research in these areas that deals with questions of theories and theory development, as well as with organizational career strategy, policy and practice. Issues of theory and of practice may be dealt with at individual, organizational and society levels. The international character of submissions may have two aspects. Submissions may be international in their scope, dealing with a topic that is of concern to researchers throughout the world rather than of sole interest to a national audience. Alternatively, submissions may be international in content, relating, for example, to comparative analyses of careers and development across national boundaries, or dealing with inherently ''international'' issues such as expatriation. Coverage: -Individual careers - psychological and developmental perspectives -Career interventions (systems and tools, mentoring, etc) -Government policy and practices -HR planning and recruitment -International themes and issues (MNCs, expatriation, etc) -Organizational strategies and systems -Performance management -Work and occupational contexts
