CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Abstract

International work assignments are one of the most effective
tools for talent development and career advancement in international
human resource management. International assignments that are
learning-driven have a developmental character, since the aim of
these assignments is the development of competencies and career
advancement. The aim of the paper is to determine whether
undertaking international assignments has a positive impact on longterm careers of employees inside and/or outside their parent
companies. Research results show that international assignments, if
they are integrated into a long-term career development plan of the
employee and if a company properly manages all stages of the
process, should have a positive impact on long-term career
development of employees within and/or outside of their parent
companies, since by undertaking international assignments employees
improve their competence base, which makes them more valuable in
the international labor market.
