This book looks at the migration and work experiences of six women
who have migrated to Australia from China; Zimbabwe; South Korea;
the United Kingdom; India and the Philippines. It sets their
journeys out into three distinct periods of migration, including
the first period of their lives when they reflect on their
experiences growing up with their immediate families and the
factors that encouraged them to gravitate towards a nursing career.
The second period covers time when each of these women begin to
think about where their career in nursing might taken them. During
this phase, these women take their first steps to leave their home
country and migrate to Australia, often after several countries in
between. The final section allows the reader to understand how
these women initially experienced Australia when they first arrived
and how they faced challenges both personally and professionally
after arrival in their new place to call home. The discussions
within these three sections cover both professional and
personal/familial reflections, where differences in nursing
identity between sending and destination country is discussed
alongside the adjustments that the women needed to make to overcome
loneliness and to successfully integrate into new organizational
environments. Each chapter analyses migration as a life course,
which considers why nurses leave their home country and find a new
place to call home. Furthermore, if they find themselves thinking
about returning to their country of birth; how or if they maintain
transnational links, and how identity and ethnicity shape these
responses. These life trajectories are underscored by an historical
context setting of nursing migration to Australia in the opening
chapter offering unique insights into the changing process of
migration, accreditation, registration and settlement of nurses in
Australia. The book will be of value to researchers, academics, and
students interested in gender studies, career and migration, health
and nursing, and international HRM.
In a complex and interconnected world, work and organisations are
rapidly changing. This book addresses key emerging issues by
adopting an imaginative and innovative approach. Its comprehensive
coverage on work and organisations aim to: provide understanding of
the external forces and institutions that are changing workplaces
and organisations; examine how organisations are being managed from
within and how this reshapes the way individuals and groups relate
to each other, whether they be employers, employees, independent
professionals or contingent workers; and integrate these two
perspectives to show how both internal and external forces are
interconnected and influence each other. By combining theory and
case studies, the book illuminates how ideas and concepts can be
applied to work and organisations in a variety of contexts.
