Günümüz iş gücü piyasasında daha fazla yer almaya başlayan uluslararası çalışanların yönetimi konusu son otuz yıldır insan kaynakları yönetimi alanındaki araştırmacıların dikkatini çekmektedir. Yazında uluslararası çalışanları yurtdışında çalışmaya iten etmenler ve bu kişilerin kişilik özellikleri konusundaki çalışmalar göze çarpmaktadır. Uluslararası yazındaki bu gelişmeler ile kıyaslandığında, yerel yazında çalışanların yurtdışında görev alma nedenlerine ilişkin çalışmaların kısıtlı sayıda olduğu ve kavramsal bir çerçevenin çizilemediği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada uluslararası çalışanlar bağımsız ve bağımlı olmak üzere iki ayrı şekilde ele alınmış, kavramlar arası farklılıklar tanımlanmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışmada yerel yazında yeterince irdelenmemiş olan bağımsız uluslararası çalışan kavramının yazına kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra bu çalışanları yurt dışında çalışmaya iten motive edici faktörler ve kişilik özellikleri açısından farklılıklar, çeşitli araştırma önermeleri doğrultusunda ele alınmıştır

ASSIGNED BASED AND SELF-INITIATED EXPATRIATES IN TERMS OF WORKING MOTIVATION BEYOND THE BORDER AND PERSONALITY TRAITS

Öz

In the last thirty years expatriates management subject takes attention in today's labour market from researchers working in the field of human resources management. In the literature, the factors that push expatriates to work abroad and their personality traits have been examined. Compared to these developments in the foreign literature, it seems that there are limited number of studies in the local literature and they do not draw a conceptual framework. In this study, assigned based expatriates and self-initiated expatriates are considered from two different perspectives and differences between concepts are defined. Besides, the aim of this study is to articulate the self-initiated expatriates subject which is not widely examined in the local literature. In addition, a variety of research proposals have been developed in the context of the motivator factors and personality traits that drive these expatriates to work abroad
