It investigated how economic, political, environmental, and social factors impact on workers decision to migrate in search of greener pastures. The research is hinged on the Push-Pull Migration Model. The research populations consisted of a total of 762 purposively selected respondents; 452 were selected from Bangkok and Phuket, Thailand, while 310 were selected from Warsaw in Poland. The study was quantitative research that applied SEM analysis for data interpretation. Findings indicated that 76% of the migrants to Thailand have at least a university degree compared to 24% with a high school certificate or less, while for Poland, 68% have at least a university degree compared to 32% with a high school certificate or less. SEM analysis revealed that only the economic push and pull factors were accepted in both Thailand and Poland/ The results reinforced the significant influence of unemployment, poverty, high employment, and high wages, while acknowledging the impact of political and social factors.

理解移民的方法：推拉移民趋势的多国分析

该研究探讨了促使移民到波兰和泰国的因素。它调查了经济、政治、环境和社会因素如何影响工人为寻找更绿色的牧场而迁移的决定。这项研究依赖于推拉迁移模型。研究人群共有762名有意选择的受访者；452人来自泰国曼谷和普吉岛，310人来自波兰华沙。该研究是一项定量研究，将扫描电镜分析应用于数据解释。调查结果显示，76%的泰国移民至少拥有大学学位，而24%的人拥有高中或以下学历，而波兰则有68%的人至少拥有大学学历，而32%的人拥有中学或以下学历。SEM分析显示，泰国和波兰都只接受经济推动和拉动因素。结果强化了失业、贫困、高就业和高工资的显著影响，同时承认了政治和社会因素的影响。研究结果中环境因素的重要性并不显著。
