Abstract

Self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) are classified as highly qualified specialists who can independently find employment overseas. However, little is known on how this cohort became resilient to cope with high uncertainty and adjust to novel international contexts. This chapter presents the most dominant resilience factors impacting the development of SIE resilience based on the current literature and develop specific hypotheses based on these factors. In addition, the chapter builds on the self-determination theory to present a research model that could help to predict SIEs in choosing their career paths abroad.
