This study examines the impact of migration processes on burnout among Ukrainian university academic staff during the full-scale war. A survey involving 836 participants from 164 higher education institutions revealed that 37% of respondents became forced migrants, either internally (24%) or externally (13%). Significant connections were found…

The spatial mobility of students and academics as part of the internationalisation of higher education is becoming increasingly relevant in securing top-tier positions, especially within academia. While the number of doctoral candidates is rising, new positions are not created at the same rate, leading to scarcer career opportunities in academia…

The study reported in this paper focuses on the narratives of six adult Third Culture Kids (TCKs) who lived in multiple countries during developmental years. It explores their childhood experiences with mobility and the impact that multiple shifts in location, culture, and language have had on their adult lives. The results indicate that they come…

Relocation of an academic unit affects not only the staff, but also the students. A pre- and post-move study examined the responses of undergraduate students to the relocation to a new and spacious campus carried out during the break between two semesters. The distance between the old and the new site did not require home relocation. However, it…

In the study of young people's relationships with residential contexts, it is important to consider the role of developmental tasks (e.g. identity construction, academic and professional choices, etc.) in influencing Place Identity and Sense of Community.

Used longitudinal data to assess effects of marriage, divorce, and widowhood on immediate relocation and on subsequent mobility patterns. Results demonstrated substantial impact of changes in marital status on mobility. Mobility rates were highest among newly married, almost as high in years of separation or divorce, and very low in first year of…

Findings from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey show that almost 16% of individuals with mental retardation in residential facilities moved into other living arrangements during 1987. Most movement was between residential facilities of the same type and, thus, did not result in significant changes in the residential population between…

In a global society, internationally mobile (IM) families experience challenges as well as benefits while living a transient lifestyle.

A qualitative research approach was used to study 45 IM families who had children…

Examines the relationship between mobility and academic achievement, classroom adjustment, and socioeconomic status (SES). As mobility increases, achievement declines. Results indicate mobility to be inversely related to achievement, adjustment, and SES. (Author/BEF)

Examining relationships between social restraints and economic incentives on individuals' willingness to move, special attention was given to labor force participation relative to social factors. Regression Analysis found age and community tenure correlated negatively with willingness to move; people who were employed or not yet retired showed…
