The steady upsurge of international labor migration has raised new and important questions for career scholars: how do migrant workers adjust to their work and living conditions and what accounts for their successful adaptation? We address these issues in two time-lagged and multi-source field studies involving Filipino migrant workers in the Middle East. In Study 1, we found that migrant workers' career adaptability promotes work and general adjustment, which in turn enhances their work (i.e., job performance and retention) and psychological health (i.e., life satisfaction) outcomes. In Study 2, we found that the indirect effects of career adaptability on work and psychological health outcomes via work and general adjustment were stronger for migrant workers with high, rather than low, levels of cultural intelligence. Implications for research and practice are discussed along with the study limitations and opportunities for future research.

国际劳务移民的稳步上升为职业学者提出了新的重要问题：移民工人如何适应他们的工作和生活条件，以及他们成功适应的原因是什么？我们在涉及中东菲律宾移民工人的两项时间滞后和多源实地研究中解决了这些问题。在研究 1 中，我们发现农民工的职业适应性促进了工作和总体适应，进而提高了他们的工作（即工作绩效和保留）和心理健康（即生活满意度）结果。在研究 2 中，我们发现职业适应性通过工作和一般调整对工作和心理健康结果的间接影响对于文化智力水平高而不是低的农民工来说更强。
