Global careers for women managers, 1997

In 1995 the authors were commissioned by the Australian Research Council to investigate the personal, organisational and cultural barriers to women managers' global placements. The research involved gathering baseline data on the number of men and women currently employed as expatriates in Australian private sector organisations, in respect of size of organisation, industry, occupational function, and country and length of placement. Organisational attitudes to international placements of women were sought, and organisational policies and practices commonly associated with the recruitment, selection and management development of expatriates were identified. In the survey expatriates were defined as someone employed by an organisation on an international appointment, in a country other than Australia, for six months or more. The survey of companies was designed to elicit details of the location, functional areas, and occupational levels of both male and female expatriates, together with their marital status and educational levels.

1995年，研究团队受澳大利亚研究委员会（Australian Research Council）委托，针对女性管理者参与全球外派任职所面临的个人、组织及文化壁垒展开专题调研。本研究首先采集澳大利亚私营部门当前外籍雇员的基线数据，统计维度涵盖企业规模、所属行业、职业职能、外派目的地国以及外派时长。调研同时征集了企业针对女性国际外派的态度，并梳理了与外籍雇员（expatriate）招聘、选拔及管理发展相关的典型组织政策与实践做法。本次调研将外籍雇员界定为：受雇于所属机构、在澳大利亚境外担任国际任职职务且时长不少于六个月的人员。本次企业调查旨在获取男女外籍雇员的任职地点、职能领域、职业层级，以及其婚姻状况与教育水平等详细信息。
