摘要

这项归纳式研究以德国的 134 个半结构式访谈为基础,探讨了文化认同对高素质移民的文化和语言衔接能力的影响。我们特别关注了第一代和第二代移民之间的差异。我们发现,文化认同对移民的文化和语言衔接能力产生了影响,不仅在代际之间,而且在代际内部也产生了差异。在此基础上,我们建立了第一代移民的两个子群体:遗产文化占主导地位的群体和主流文化占主导地位的群体;同样,我们发现第二代移民也有两个子群体:遗产文化和主流文化兼顾的群体和主流文化占主导地位的群体。我们进一步确定,有身份认同的移民拥有最高程度的文化和语言衔接技能,因此,与其他亚群体相比,他们是最好的衔接者。我们的研究让人们对移民的文化身份形成及其对技术移民的文化和语言衔接技能的影响有了更细致的了解。此外,我们的研究还表明,在研究高素质移民对组织环境的影响时,不仅需要考虑代际差异,还需要考虑代内差异。

The impact of cultural identity on cultural and language bridging skills of first and second generation highly qualified migrants

This inductive study explores on the basis of 134 semi-structured interviews for the case of Germany, the impact of cultural identity on highly qualified migrants’ cultural and language bridging skills. A particular focus is put on the differentiation between first and second generation migrants. We find that cultural identity impacts migrants’ cultural and language bridging skills, prompting differences not only between generations but also within them. On this basis, we establish two sub-groups of first generation migrants: those with a separated identity (heritage culture is dominant) and those with an ambiguous identity (often unclear which culture dominates); similarly, we find two sub-groups of second generation migrants: those with an integrated identity (well-balanced combination of heritage and mainstream culture) and those with an assimilated identity (mainstream culture is dominant). We further ascertain that migrants with an integrated identity possess the highest degree of cultural and language bridging skills and, thus, constitute the best bridging agents in comparison to the other sub-groups. Our study provides a more nuanced understanding of migrants’ cultural identity formation and their impact on skilled migrants’ cultural and language bridging skills. In addition, it demonstrates the need to consider inter- but also intragenerational differences, when studying the impact of highly qualified migrants in organizational contexts.

期刊介绍: The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
