Alternative forms of global mobility: Fresh insights about frequent flyers, short-term, rotational and virtual assignments, international business commuters
Journal of Global Mobility Special Issue
Guest Editors: Maike Andresen, Michael Dickmann, Arno Haslberger
To better understand the challenges and consequences of a growing diverse portfolio of global employees, this special issue intends to provide a platform to draw together scholarly research that contributes to our knowledge about (1) the challenges unique to alternative (short-term) forms of global mobility, focusing especially on less well researched forms such as commuter or rotational assignments and virtual assignments, (2) the impact of the different kinds of global work on individuals and organisations, and (3) individual and organisational factors influencing the relationship between these alternative forms of global work and individual as well as organizational outcome variables. Original empirical (qualitative and quantitative) research, theory development, meta-analytic reviews, and critical literature reviews are all suitable for potential inclusion in the special issue.
