While research suggests a link between individuals' prior international experiences and their future participation in global work, we know little about how and the conditions under which this relationship occurs. Drawing on career motivation theory, we conceptualize global identity as a mediator between individuals' density of prior international experiences—defined as the extent to which time spent in culturally novel countries has provided individuals with developmental opportunities—and their global work aspirations, which in turn leads to their global work involvement. Further, this multi-stage mediation model holds mainly when individuals receive positive feedback regarding their intercultural competencies (i.e., cultural intelligence) from their peers. We test our model using a multi-wave multi-source dataset spanning 6 years. We discuss implications for the literatures on prior international experiences and global careers.

先前的国际经验如何以及何时导致全球工作？职业动机视角

虽然研究表明个人先前的国际经验与他们未来参与全球工作之间存在联系，但我们对这种关系如何以及在何种条件下发生知之甚少。借鉴职业动机理论，我们将全球认同概念化为个人先前国际经验的密度（定义为在文化新颖的国家度过的时间为个人提供发展机会的程度）与他们的全球工作愿望之间的中介，这反过来又导致他们的全球工作参与。此外，这种多阶段中介模型主要适用于个人从同龄人那里收到有关其跨文化能力（即文化智力）的积极反馈。我们使用跨越 6 年的多波多源数据集测试我们的模型。
