Abstract:
Skilled migrants constitute a significant and growing population in our knowledge economy, as they self-initiate international careers in search of permanent resettlement. Yet, once in the new country, many skilled migrants face dire disappointments in that the jobs offered to them often fall short of their training and aspirations. The current quantitative study combines existing insights from qualitative migration research on the barriers to quality employment with self-regulation research during job search. We identify mechanisms by which migrants may proactively self-regulate towards better employment quality.
