摘要

虽然技术移民(SMs)在组织中越来越有价值的人力资源，但人们对他们的文化认同威胁和在跨国公司(MNCs)的工作知之甚少。本研究利用身份工作视角和对163个短信的访谈来研究短信如何以及为什么使用身份工作来应对遇到的文化身份威胁，以及在跨国公司中可以识别哪些类型的短信身份工作。我们的分析表明，短信通过保护性身份工作(即区分、分离、疏远和拒绝)或适应性身份工作(即转移、修改、扩展和抑制)以文化紧密性、价值冲突和污名化的形式应对身份威胁。

Cultural identity threats and identity work of skilled migrants in multinational corporations

While skilled migrants (SMs) are increasingly valuable human resources in organizations, little is known about their cultural identity threats and work in multinational corporations (MNCs). This study draws on the identity work perspective and interviews with 163 SMs to examine how and why SMs use identity work to cope with encountered cultural identity threats and what types of SMs’ identity work can be identified in MNCs. Our analysis shows that SMs respond to identity threats in the forms of cultural tightness, value conflict, and stigmatization by protective identity work (i.e., differentiating, detaching, distancing, and rejecting) or adaptive identity work (i.e., shifting, revising, extending, and suppressing).
