Abstract
The “traditional career,” staying for the entirety of one’s work life in a single occupation,
is disappearing; the current career environment demands increasing flexibility
and mobility. Research indicates that there are individual differences between
mobile and non-mobile people. On the basis of selection (career orientation and
competition orientation) and socialization (course and length of study) processes,
this study examines the intentions of university students to expatriate or become
self-employed as alternatives to traditional employment. The findings reveal that
entrepreneurial intentions are predominantly a function of selection processes, while
expatriation intentions are a function of both selection and socialization processes.
