This edited volume builds on the previously published
Self-Initiated Expatriation: Individual, Organizational, and
National Perspectives, which served to give in-depth insights into
the concept and the processes of self-initiated expatriation and
presented different groups undertaking self-initiated foreign
career moves. While more than a hundred articles on self-initiated
expatriation (SIE) have been published in the meanwhile, an
examination of the research questions and samples of SIEs in
published SIE research shows that the role of context and its
impact on SIEs' career-related decisions and behaviors has not been
explored sufficiently. This raises the question in how far existing
research results are comparable. The aim of this follow-up volume
is to deepen the understanding of SIEs' careers, focusing on the
contextual influences of space, time, and institutions on the
heterogeneous SIE population. More specifically, the editors aim to
shed light on spatial conditions in terms of the home and host
country conditions on the self-initiated expatriation experience
and examine developments over time in terms of temporality of
conditions and SIEs' life-course. Moreover, the influence of the
institutional context in terms of occupational, organisational, and
societal specificities will be analysed. All chapters are based on
strong theoretical foundations that serve to conceptualise
"context" and are written by both established and emerging global
academics and researchers. Self-Initiated Expatriates in Context
contributes to conceptual clarity in the burgeoning field of SIE
research by drawing attention to the importance of exploring
context and, thus, boundary conditions to careers. It offers
specific guidance for an improvement of future SIE-related research
in order to enhance the validity of future empirical studies as
well as for an improvement of managerial practice. It will be of
interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in
the fields of international business, human resource management,
organisational studies, and strategic management.
