Abstract

Short-term study abroad (STSA) programs are the fastest growing segment of experiential learning programs in management education and the least studied. This is the first systematic review of STSA research, which focuses on 156 studies on STSA published between 2000 and 2019 and proposes a conceptual model to guide STSA research scholars. Through this detailed review, we provide a greater understanding of the scale, scope, key themes, and methodology of STSA research. Our article identifies the four key groups of theories used to inform STSA research, and provides insight into the variables and characteristics of STSA research, and the role of STSA in management education. Our review identifies 85 thematic outcomes found in the STSA literature and gives a particular focus to the 29 cross-cultural outcomes that characterize this literature. The review provides the first systematic analysis of cross-cultural outcomes within STSA research and identifies behavioral attributes as among the most studied. Cultural and learning theories were found to be the dominant theories that informed the underlying concepts in the STSA literature. Our review also provides a comprehensive agenda and directions for future STSA research, discussion on its impact, and its place in management education.

短期留学研究：2000-2019年系统综述

短期留学（STSA）项目是管理教育中增长最快、研究最少的体验式学习项目。这是对STSA研究的首次系统综述，重点介绍了2000年至2019年间发表的156项关于STSA的研究，并提出了一个概念模型来指导STSA研究学者。通过这篇详细的综述，我们对STSA研究的规模、范围、关键主题和方法有了更深入的了解。我们的文章确定了用于STSA研究的四组关键理论，并深入了解了STSA研究中的变量和特征，以及STSA在管理教育中的作用。我们的综述确定了STSA文献中发现的85个主题结果，并特别关注了该文献中的29个跨文化结果。该综述首次对STSA研究中的跨文化结果进行了系统分析，并将行为属性确定为研究最多的属性之一。文化和学习理论被发现是STSA文献中为基本概念提供信息的主导理论。我们的综述还为未来STSA的研究、对其影响的讨论及其在管理教育中的地位提供了全面的议程和方向。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Management Education (JME) encourages contributions that respond to important issues in management education. The overriding question that guides the journal’s double-blind peer review process is: Will this contribution have a significant impact on thinking and/or practice in management education? Contributions may be either conceptual or empirical in nature, and are welcomed from any topic area and any country so long as their primary focus is on learning and/or teaching issues in management or organization studies. Although our core areas of interest are organizational behavior and management, we are also interested in teaching and learning developments in related domains such as human resource management & labor relations, social issues in management, critical management studies, diversity, ethics, organizational development, production and operations, sustainability, etc. We are open to all approaches to scholarly inquiry that form the basis for high quality knowledge creation and dissemination within management teaching and learning.
