Career Development of Foreign-Born Workers: Where is the Career Motivation Research?
Tobin P. Lopes Pennsylvania State University Immigrants and/or foreign-born workers are entering the American work-force at an increasing rate. Career motivation for these new entrants requires research attention. As this literature review shows, researchers have virtually ignored the expanding immigrant and/or foreign-born worker population. Career motivation differences among international and domestic workers may exist only in the theoretical realm. The relationship between culture and motivation, principally dealing with individualism-collectivism sheds some light on possible differences. Historically, cross-cultural adaptability research has not addressed career motivation. An argument and justification for cross-cultural studies in career motivation is made in this literature review.
