Summary
Sažetak: Međunarodni radni angažmani (zadaci) predstavljaju jedan od najefektivnijih alata za razvoj talenata i unapređenje karijere zaposlenih u međunarodnom menadžmentu ljudskih resursa. Cilj rada jeste da se utvrdi da li preduzimanje međunarodnih angažmana ima pozitivan uticaj na dugoročne karijere zaposlenih unutar i/ili izvan njihovih matičnih kompanija. Rezultati istraživanja prikazuju da međunarodni angažmani, ukoliko su integrisani u dugoročni plan razvoja karijere zaposlenog i kompanija adekvatno upravlja svim fazama ovog procesa, treba da imaju pozitivan uticaj na dugoročne karijere zaposlenih unutar i/ili izvan njihovih matičnih kompanija, s obzirom na to da preduzimanjem međunarodnih angažmana zaposleni unapređuju bazu svojih kompetencija, što ih čini vrednijim i na eksternom tržištu rada. Unapređenje efikasnosti, profitabilnost, rast a možda i sam opstanak kompanije na međunarodnom tržištu sve više zavise od boljeg korišćenja i razvoja talenata (Selmer et al, 2002).”Rat za talente“ između MNK-a, uzrokovan nedostatkom međunarodnih menadžera postaje rastući problem internacionalizacije poslovanja. Prilikom stremljenja kompanije ka maksimizaciji profita i rastu i razvoju kompanije, kao jednim od krucijalnih ciljeva poslovanja, MNK treba da vodi računa da razvoj kompanije bude praćen i adekvatnim, sinhronim razvojem njenih zaposlenih (Lee & Chen, 2012)
