Gender Role And Culture In Pre-Employment Relocation Decisions

Abstract

Conventional understanding of pre-employment relocation is incomplete due to the disconnection between human resources managers and pre-employment individuals. This study attempts to empirically examine pre-employment relocation preferences of upcoming young professionals. Guided the literature, it states any individual with the same gender or gender role orientations and cultural influences may behave in a similar manner in non-professional occupations. The findings highlight certain timing and situation factors that are salient in determining pre-employment relocation preferences. The findings offer insights into pre-employment relocation for researchers and human resources managers.
