- Abstract
I analyze expatriation as an experience lived by Brazilians while constructing their careers. The aim of this work is to examine if the approaches developed by the research that analyzes expatriation of professionals from multinational companies in developed countries to their branches in emergent countries may help us understand this experience. Initially, I present the criticism to the adjustment approach, which is the predominant approach in the studies of strategic international human resource management. Afterwards, I seek for theoretical support in studies dealing with expatriation as a multifaceted experience of constructing international careers. The data were collected in two steps: the research of secondary data with content analysis of testimonies by expatriated professionals from a business magazine; and analysis of the primary data collected in interviews with executives who had lived this experience. The results of the research show different dimensions of expatriation: personal, familiar, professional, and contextual. They also show that this experience is a stage in career transition. Additionally, the research into international human resource management ignores specific aspects related to management of expatriated workers from emergent countries to developed ones.
