Abstract

This quantitative study examined the characteristics of the developmental networks of young South Korean self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) in Vietnam and the effects of the network characteristics on developmental functions and career growth. Based on a literature review, a hypothesized model was developed and examined using a path analysis. The results demonstrated that organizational, cultural, and program diversity and network strength influenced different types of developmental functions (career, psychosocial, and cultural support). The findings also demonstrated that cultural support did not have a direct relationship with perceived career growth opportunities, while it indirectly influenced career growth through career and psychosocial functions of developmental networks. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of SIEs’ developmental networks and their effect on career development with empirical evidence. The results of this study will inform career counselors and educators on how to support SIEs’ career development and career-related relationship building.

年轻人职业发展机会的发展网络:韩国在越南的外籍人士

本定量研究考察了在越南的韩国外籍青年的发展网络特征，以及网络特征对发展功能和职业成长的影响。在文献回顾的基础上，建立了一个假设模型，并使用通径分析进行了检验。结果表明，组织、文化和项目多样性以及网络强度影响不同类型的发展功能(职业、社会心理和文化支持)。研究结果还表明，文化支持与职业发展机会的感知没有直接关系，但它通过发展网络的职业和社会心理功能间接影响职业发展。本研究通过实证研究，全面了解了男性员工的发展网络及其对职业发展的影响。本研究的结果将为职业顾问和教育工作者提供帮助，帮助他们发展职业发展和建立与职业相关的关系。
