“…In addition, career theories do not include expatriation in particular or explain the specificities of expatriate careers, and little research has examined how short and long-term international assignments influence career development (Sullivan, 1999). However, international career experience is considered a way to develop skills and achieve greater career progression (Prestes, Grisci, & Fraga, 2016;Gallon, Fraga, & Antunes, 2017).…”

“…There are other concepts and configurations that illustrate the different experiences abroad, especially linked to time, the type of work to be performed, and its link, or absence of it, with an organization. Examples include impatriates, patriates, flexpatriates, citizens of the world, digital nomads, international managers, transnational executives, cross-cultural managers, global executives, global managers, and self-expatriates (Gallon, Fraga, & Antunes, 2017). Although there is a growth of studies aimed at non-traditional expatriates, considering different family backgrounds (McNulty, 2015;McNulty & Hutchings, 2016;McNulty, Vance, & Fisher, 2017;Guttormsen, 2018), there is also a predominance of studies that address the importance of the family as a stable bond and source of support during expatriation, taking into account the need for acculturation in the destination country (Taylor & Napier, 2001;Lee & Kartika, 2014).…”

“…Research on expatriation (Baruch, Dickmann, Yochanan, & Bournois, 2013;Van Bochove & Engbersen, 2015;Ramaswami, Carter, & Dreher, 2016;Polson, 2016;Gallon, Fraga, & Antunes, 2017) highlight the growing appreciation of availability for mobility in the global organizational environment and for international careers. Expatriation is usually understood by management as the transfer of employees abroad in order to develop activities at either the foreign head office or a foreign branch office for the company in which they work, whether for a predetermined period or not.…”

While the organizational world has been experiencing the phenomenon of expatriation, the availability of mobile and international careers stand out. The differences in the expatriate experience are gendered, and few studies focus primarily on the experiences of women. This research aims to analyze the construction of the career trajectories of 19 Brazilian expatriate women, using as conceptual bases the interfaces of gender, career, and expatriation. The experiences of the participants come near to each other but compose unique trajectories, including in their personal life and professional field. The study highlights a way of being and acting in the work environment, understood as "the" model of a professional woman expatriate, who intercalates elements perceived as masculine and/or feminine. The construction of this trajectory is anchored by elements that build and influence it: personal characteristics, support and family influence, affective relationships, motherhood, professional plans and organizations in which they work, and countries of destination. With the results, possible paths are envisioned for other women seeking this experience, considering the foregrounded implications shown by this study.

“…In one of her videos, Ana comments: I was tired of the crazy life we had there [in Brazil], of violence, pollution, of sitting in a lot of traffic…, I'm already 37 years old and my energy to struggle with São Paulo was already lower… So, we came seeking quality of life here and some things that were different in everyday life that we really liked. But of course Poland also has a lot of problems... (The World..., 2020) She is one of many people in an international geographic mobility process, which can be classified in different ways, depending on the motives, duration, and ties to the country of origin and destination country (Andresen, Bergdolt, Dickmann, & Margenfeld, 2014;Araujo, Teixeira, Cruz, & Malini, 2012, 2014Cerdin & Selmer, 2014;Gallon, Fraga, & Antunes, 2017;Lima & Domingues, 2021). International mobility can be configured as exile, immigration, traditional expatriation, and voluntary expatriation (Andresen et al, 2014;Freitas & Dantas, 2011).…”

Voluntary International Mobility Lived in Laughter, Tears, and Resignification: Experiences of Brazilians Shared on YouTube Channels

et al. 2022

Voluntary international mobility requires greater responsibility, given that there is no structure and organizational support for the challenge of living in another country. The aim of this study is to analyze the intercultural adaptation process of Brazilian immigrants and self-initiated expatriates in “off-axis” countries (less sought after/without a structured community of Brazilians) based on their reports and interactions on YouTube channels. The study employs a qualitative approach, with narrative research of four individuals. The data were collected between March and May of 2021 according to the following categories: intercultural adaptation; types of adaptation; structure and functioning of the channel. We confirmed the applicability of the theories of intercultural adaptation to analyze voluntary mobility, but with the need to consider specific aspects, such as advance adjustment actions, the influence of the channels on the focus and effort to adapt to the general environment and interact with the locals, and the emergence of individual aspects and behaviors (such as flexibility to change and self-knowledge), which were shown to be relevant for the intercultural adaptation process in voluntary mobility. As a theoretical contribution, it is understood that to use the theories about intercultural adaptation with the aim of analyzing voluntary mobility it is necessary to consider some specific aspects of this type of mobility while still in the country of origin, the weight and importance of each adaptation environment for the voluntary expatriate’s objective, and how much that experience is shared and exposed on different media with their respective impact on choices and (re)creation of meanings.

“…According to Andresen, Dickmann, and Suutari (2018), mobility has gained space in the discussion on global careers with an emphasis on studies focused on expatriation (BERRY and BELL, 2012;BARUCH, DICKMANN, ALTMAN et al, 2013;ROOS, 2013;RAMASWAMI, CARTER and DREHER, 2016) and migration (SANG, AL-DAJANI and ÖZBILGIN, 2013;ANDREWS and SHAHROKNI, 2014;RESSIA, STRACHAN and BAILEY, 2017;RIAÑO, 2016;SANG and CALVARD, 2019;TAPIA and ALBERTI, 2019). In the organizational space, there is an increasing appreciation of availability for mobility, which is an issue addressed in Brazilian studies focusing mainly on expatriate professionals (GONZÁLEZ and OLIVEIRA, 2011;GALLON, SCHEFFER and BITENCOURT, 2013;GALLON, FRAGA and ANTUNES, 2017;PRESTES, GRISCI and FRAGA, 2016). The relevance of the availability of mobility for career advancement form a scenario of 'involuntary nomadism' (GRISCI, CIGERZA, HOFMEISTER et al, 2006), where, according to Freitas (2009) mobility is a new indispensable symbolic capital in organizations and at work.…”

Mobilidades no labirinto: tensionando as fronteiras nas carreiras de mulheres

Resumo O mundo do trabalho contemporâneo se revela um cenário formado por diferentes contextos (global, de sociedade e cultura, de origem e de trabalho) que marcam trajetórias de carreira individuais e coletivas. Todos esses contextos trazem a historicidade das construções de gênero e constituem mobilidades no labirinto que tensionam fronteiras nas carreiras de mulheres. Considerando a lacuna de estudos que articulam carreira, mobilidade e gênero, este artigo teórico argumenta que a mobilidade, sobretudo geográfica e social, pode ter reduzida disponibilidade para mulheres, em razão de fronteiras que engendram pontos de imobilidade, ancorados por relações socioculturais, políticas, organizacionais e biológicas. Estas são manifestadas por: a) restrições à liberdade em alguns países; b) configurações familiares; c) expectativas relativas à maternidade e atividades de cuidado de crianças e pessoas idosas - socialmente atribuídas às mulheres; d) teto de vidro organizacional; e e) pouca representatividade em cargos de poder. A formação dessas imobilidades leva à produção de um sedentarismo, por vezes involuntário, que impõe barreiras simbólicas e vivenciadas em labirintos em sua trajetória profissional. Mobilidades no labirinto são desorientadas do caminho seguro das carreiras tradicionais, em termos de tempo e espaço, e incertas quanto às possibilidades nos novos modelos de carreira. Carreiras são campos históricos, dinâmicos e em processo de mudança, assim como gênero. O imperativo das carreiras móveis e as (im)possibilidades do ponto de vista dos marcadores sociais de diferença se mostram oportunos para debates críticos e um aprofundamento teórico e empírico quanto às suas limitações.
