Leave the Country or Leave the Locality? Exploring External and Internal Migration Intentions During Wartime
Am I Discriminated Against? Explaining Immigrants' Perceived Discrimination by First Name and Ethnic Origin
This research examined the perception of being treated unfairly, perceived discrimination, among immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) and Ethiopia, and the factors underlying these perceptions. It addressed a prominent discrimination determinant that can serve as an identity marker-the first name that immigrants use in everyday encounters, as well as the immigrant's country of origin. Data were obtained from an online survey completed by…
The Migration Decision-Making Process Among Ukrainian Refugees: Different Contexts of Reception
Who do you think I am? Immigrant’s first name and their perceived identity
The current study focuses on immigrants’ perceived identity—that is, the way immigrants think the locals perceive them—and examines the link between the first name (ethnic or local) they use in everyday social encounters and their local identity and belonging perceptions. The study model was tested on data obtained from an online survey filled out by 837 immigrants who arrived in Israel from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) or Ethiopia as children o…
On a fast-track to adulthood: Social Integration and Identity Formation Experiences of Young-Adults of 1.5 Generation Immigrants
This study focuses on the dynamic nature of social integration and local identity formation as experienced by young-adult immigrants who arrived in Israel as children or adolescents (1.5 generation) from the former Soviet Union (FSU). 1.5 generation immigrants (1.5GI) are versed in the cultures of both origin and host countries while not fully belonging to either, and as young adults are challenged by both cultural and developmental transitions. …
Israeli and Polish Policies toward Returning Residents as a Reflection of Nationhood
This study focuses on Poland and Israel, both commonly classified as ethnic nation‐states, and aims to question the expression of ethnic–civic dichotomy in return‐migration policies. Policy documents in each country were analysed and complemented by interviews with policymakers and representatives from relevant organizations. Our analysis reveals that, although there are differences in their policies toward returning residents and in the related …
Satisfied With Less? Mismatch Between Subjective and Objective Position of Immigrants and Native-Born Men and Women in the Labor Market
The current study introduces a new mismatch concept in labor studies, the mismatch between subjective work perceptions and actual labor market position, and examines it from the perspectives of gender, ethnic and migration. This mismatch, positive or negative, was examined among men and women from different ethnic groups in Israel, both immigrants and native-born. The analyses were conducted on 9,923 employees using the Israeli CBS Social Surveys…
Special Issue: Subjective Perceptions Related to Migration
Identity, Belonging and Intentions to Leave of First and 1.5 Generation FSU Immigrants in Israel
The Formation of Transnational Identity among French Immigrants Employed in French‐Speaking Companies in Israel
This study focuses on the formation of a transnational identity among immigrants from France who are employed in French‐speaking companies in Israel (mostly call‐centres). The preliminary qualitative analysis shows that this unique employment pattern contributes to the formation of their transnational identity, which is a combination of their francophone, Jewish and Israeli identity. The findings obtained from a larger‐scale online survey indicat…
The Role of Leadership in the Migration Decision-Making Process
The study explores the involvement of leadership in the migration decision-making process of North American immigrants to Israel. The results, based on qualitative and quantitative research methods, indicate that more than half of the immigrants in our sample did not attribute much significance to the influence of a specific leader. However, they acknowledged the involvement of several influential figures; some of these leaders worked in Israeli …
Public attitudes toward policies related to labor migrants in Israel
This paper focuses on determinants of public attitudes in Israel toward two policy questions. First, should immigration policy measures be more restrictive toward overseas labor migrants? Secondly, should overseas labor migrants be replaced with Palestinian workers? Based on an attitudinal survey administered to a representative sample of the Israeli population, the findings indicate that support for a restrictive immigration policy is quite prev…
Immigrants' Sense of Belonging to the Host Country: The Role of Life Satisfaction, Language Proficiency, and Religious Motives
The Subjective Well-Being of Immigrants: Pre- and Post-migration
The Duration of Migration Decision-Making: Moving to Israel from North America
The migration decision-making process from one developed country to another is examined. The focus is on an important aspect in this process, namely the duration of decision-making and its determinants. Our study, using qualitative and quantitative methods, was conducted among North American immigrants to Israel. The process of migration decision-making was found to be rather long. The general decision (intention) to migrate may exist for unident…
Motivation to Lead in Multicultural Organizations: The Role of Work Scripts and Political Perceptions
Conceptions of leadership are conspicuous in their absence from the field of organizational politics. We respond to this timely challenge by considering how cultural values and perceptions of organizational politics influence motivations to lead in a multicultural setting. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis, we expand the Motivation to Lead (MTL) construct proposed by Chan and Drasgow. In addition, w…
Social integration and identity of immigrants from western countries, the FSU and Ethiopia in Israel
This study of immigrants' integration in Israel centers on one major subjective parameter, namely the immigrant's identity. To explain it we explore a series of possible factors: demographic variables, economic status, and human and social capital characteristics. Three recent immigrant groups are examined: from Western countries, from the former Soviet Union (FSU), and from Ethiopia. These immigrants came to Israel during the last two decades fr…
Socioeconomic Integration of Second Generation Immigrants in Israel: Examining Alternative Ethnic Classifications
The present study examines the socioeconomic integration of second generation immigrants in Israel. Most Israeli studies examine this population using a binary ethnic classification into Mizrahim (originating in Asia or Africa) and Ashkenazim (originating in Europe). Drawing upon immigration theory and evidence from Israeli research on first generation immigrants, the present study examines second generation immigrants using a country of origin c…
The Subjective Well-Being of Immigrants Aged 50 and Older in Israel
Determinants of Life Satisfaction Among Immigrants from Western Countries and from the FSU in Israel
The Role of Social Networks in the Immigration Decision-making Process: The Case of North American Immigration to Israel
This study focuses on the role of social networks in the decision-making process in migration which occurs between developed countries, specifically in immigration from North America to Israel. The central declared motives for immigration were religious; nevertheless, "materialistic" issues were also mentioned. The decision-making process was long, usually taking from 2 to 10 years. Information was gathered via personal contacts from social netwo…
