Jogulu, Uma and Parris, Melissa 2011, Asia-Pacific immigrant managers in Australia : their views about career, in ANZAM 2011 : 25th Annual Australian And New Zealand Academy of Management conference : the future of work and organisations, ANZAM, [Wellington, N.Z.], pp. 1-20.
Systematic cross-cultural studies of career advancement are fragmented, despite the burgeoning cultural diversity of the global workforce. This study examines diverse groups of managers from the Asia-Pacific region and their stories of career progression to date in Australia. Immigrant managers were interviewed to examine the influence of the new environment on their current career and advancement prospects. In doing so, we demonstrate the experiences of internationally mobile managers when adapting to new boundaries for career advancement. We found that overseas managers have difficulties fitting into the Australian workplace norms. In addition, the study revealed that newcomers had expected to be recognised and promoted for their multiple qualifications; however this did not take place within the Australian workplace context.
