Dimensions and influencing factors of place embeddedness of Chinese intellectual returnees in Guangzhou
In the era of the knowledge economy,knowledge-based talents have become a crucial factor that influences regional and national development.Taking Guangzhou City's intellectual returnees as an example,this study explored whether they are effectively integrated into local development from the theoretical perspective of place embeddedness.Additionally,the study constructed a scale to analyze the key dimensions and influencing factors of their place embeddedness.The findings indicate that:1)The place embeddedness of intellectual returnees is a multi-dimensional process,including job embeddedness,social relationship embeddedness,cultural embeddedness,and emotional embeddedness.2)Different types of intellectual returnees exhibit varying levels of embeddedness across the four dimensions,displaying higher integration in emotional,job,and cultural dimensions,and relatively lower integration in local social relationship.3)The process,patterns,and extent of place re-embeddedness of intellectual returnees can be seen as the result of the combined influence of individual attributes,mobility characteristics,work and economic factors,as well as non-work-related aspects of life and environment.By examining the interaction between the returnees and local communities from the perspective of re-embeddedness of intellectual returnees,the study provides a deeper understanding of the multidimensionality of intellectual returnees'reintegration.Furthermore,it offers intellectual support and insightful recommendations for national talent policies and local development strategies.
