  Maintaining competitiveness is one of the long-term strategic goals for companies. Beside
  tangible and intangible assets, the value of human capital is continuously growing, due to
  changes in the labour market. A loyal, highly skilled employee makes a significant contribution
  to organizational success through competencies, experience, and skills. The career management
  system of multinational companies became more attractive by the possibility of international
  assignments, which is a very complicated process requiring complex planning. This system is
  considered global for several reasons: its transnational nature, international experience gained
  by the employees and the achievable career on a global scale for the individual (as a part of a
  successful process).
  Creating a global career management system thus involves a number of HR functions.
  Emphasis should be placed on finding suitable employees, selecting, onboarding, mentoring, on
  methods and the evaluators in the performance appraisal process, providing feedback on a
  regular basis and in an appropriate manner, achieving and maintaining motivation, developing
  competencies and supporting the balance in mental health.

With an online self-administered questionnaire distributed through a snowball sampling methodology
  among Hungarian PhD-holders working abroad for more than one year, we investigated the motivation for international mobility, the career path, work contracts, work-life balance, future career plans and the perception of the value of the PhD degree. Our key findings indicate that male researchers’s labour market position is more advantageous abroad than female researchers’ and overall they are more convinved of the positive value of their PhD degree, while female academics were statisfied, but at a more moderate level.
