当代全球工作包括各种不同的国际工作模式，而且这种模式越来越多。在这篇文章中，我们提供了一个多维的框架，这些不同的模式的概念（理论和实践）的基础。在现有文献和德尔菲方法的基础上，提出了七个方面：（一）接触时间;（二）通过工作进行国际接触的强度;（三）互动的广度;（四）法律的背景;（五）国际工作的发起人;（六）个人原籍国与国际工作发生地之间的文化差距程度;及（vii）与工作/角色有关的主要文化要求。在这些维度中，我们增加了个人和组织背景变量，例如多样性和职业模式，以及职业系统，特别关注全球导向工作的重要性。此外，我们列出了全球职业生涯的主要模式，并绘制了全球职业词汇表。多层面框架和词汇表应有助于学者和管理人员系统化、分析、管理和进一步发展离国和返国职业战略、政策和做法。
Contemporary global work comprises a wide and growing array of different modes of international work configurations. In this article, we offer a multidimensional framework for conceptual (theoretical and practical) underpinning of these different modes. Building on the extant literature and the Delphi approach, seven dimensions emerged: (i) time of exposure; (ii) intensity of international contact through work; (iii) breadth of interaction; (iv) legal context; (v) international work instigator; (vi) extent of cultural gap between an individual's country-of-origin and the context in which the international work takes place; and (vii) key cultural-related requirements of one's job/role. To these dimensions, we add individual and organizational contextual variables, e.g. diversity and occupational patterns, as well as career systems with a particular focus on the importance of globally orientated work. Furthermore, we list the major modes of global careers and draw a global career glossary. Both the multidimensional framework and the glossary should facilitate scholars and managers to systematize, analyse, manage and further develop their expatriation and repatriation career strategies, policies and practices.
