Individual variables influencing successful choices in international work mobility

International work mobility depends on motivations, skills, satisfaction, needs, and conditions. The AToM (Attitude Toward Moving) study, part of the EMoCC (European Mobility Career Counseling) project, looks at these factors to understand why people choose to work abroad. Through inter-views and focus groups in Italy, France, Germany, and Spain, the study ex-plored what influences mobility. It found five main areas: motivations (like cultural experiences and career growth), skills (such as adaptability and problem-solving), satisfaction (including personal and professional growth), needs (like education and family support), and conditions (such as financial stability and knowledge of the host country). These areas show the challenges and opportunities of working abroad. The study high-lights the need for tailored support and inclusive policies to reduce barri-ers, improve skills, and help people succeed. It also suggests further re-search to improve frameworks and outcomes for international workers.
