One key challenge, and opportunity, of today’s society is a steady rise of international migration. In Europe, 2.1 million immigrants cross EU borders per year (Migration and migrant population statistics, 2022). The percentage of immigrants in workforces ranges from 9% in Eastern Europe to 18% in Western and Central Europe (International Labour Organization ILO, 2021). Even though immigrant workers have always been a crucial part of the workforce and are highly relevant for a functioning society, work and organizational psychology has had a limited view on this specific group of workers.
