Die Studien aus der Reihe OECD Working Papers sollten nicht so wiedergegeben werden, als spiegelten sie die offizielle Einstellung der OECD oder ihrer Mitgliedstaaten wider. Die in ihnen zum Ausdruck gebrachten Meinungen und Argumente sind die ihrer Autoren. In den Working Papers beschreiben die Autoren vorläufige Ergebnisse oder laufende Forschungsarbeiten. Sie werden veröffentlicht, um eine Diskussion über einen breiten Fächer von Themen anzuregen, mit denen sich die OECD beschäftigt.

“…The remaining 21 partially met CASP criteria, primarily due to a lack of explanations for their use of qualitative methodology, a lack of ethical consideration, inadequate attention to the relationship between researcher and participants, and inadequate explanation of recruitment strategies. Of studies that included quantitative methods, the one randomized controlled trial (Stark et al, 2018) and one case control study (Månsson & Delander, 2017) were of high quality in accordance with their respective CASP checklists. Other quantitative studies lacked a control condition.…”

Purpose: The global forced migration crisis calls for responsive, research-supported social services. This systematic review examines available research on social service programs implemented with refugees worldwide. Methods: Through accessing academic databases, reviewing article reference lists and websites, and contacting experts, we identified 1,402 sources, 68 of which met review inclusion criteria and were selected for analysis. Results: Studies were conducted primarily in high-income countries ( n = 57). Programs examined were related to general adaptation ( n = 13), relationships ( n = 20), financial and employment support ( n = 15), or a specific area such as sport or gardening ( n = 20). Few studies used pre–post ( n = 6) or experimental designs ( n = 1), and in a majority of studies, the theory underlying the intervention was not specified ( n = 41). Discussion: Additional research is needed to better understand social service programming with refugees, particularly in understudied contexts.

“…Apart from these conceptualizations of organizational socialization, there are also empirical studies such as Mohamed and Leponiemi's (2009) study of induction training in organizations in Finland and Månsson and Delander's (2017) study of mentoring programmes offered to unemployed refugees in Sweden questioning whether or not these programmes accelerate the job‐seeking process and increase migrants' probability to secure a job.…”

Organizational practices of migrants' labour market integration have by and large been overlooked in favour of research on societal‐level/macrolevel factors, policies, rules and regulations and their impacts on migrants' positions and perspectives on the labour market in the host country. Organizations are conceptualized as key sites that can open doors for meaningful employment and career progression or close them by way of producing inequalities. This change of focus, which we advocate, has a potential to not only increase our understanding of how migrants' labour market integration is organized and practiced at the organizational level, but also shed light on migrants' own mobilizations and agency in these processes. Research on organizational practices of workplace integration of migrants is also relevant as economic and political migration is still high on the agenda in many European countries, particularly since the so‐called ‘refugee crisis’ in 2015, when hundreds of thousands of refugees made their way to Europe. Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine in 2022 reminds us of the heightened importance of this issue. In this article, we start by outlining what has motivated this Special Section. Next, we briefly review the relevant literature that directly or indirectly focuses on practices of organizing migrants' labour market integration in European host countries. We then introduce the two contributions to this Special Section, presenting and discussing their main lines of reasoning and how each of them answer our call for papers. We conclude by elaborating what is, from our point of view, still missing and suggest possible avenues for future research.
