Implikationen des Deutschen Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetzes

"Human resources is an essential part of any organization since it provides the human capital that keeps operations running."" (Luthans; Doh (2012), S. 495). In Germany, the new Skilled Immigration Law, will be enacted in the year 2020. This new law will provide global and facilitated HR-sourcing possibilities for companies in Germany, especially with regard to third countries. In addition to large enterprises, also SMEs seem able to benefit from the new Act, while it may much depend on their own commitment to do so. The article discusses important regulations of the new law, together with development potential and implications for various stakeholders and beneficiaries. A case study about the third country Jordan for global HR-sourcing provides additional insights and allows to derive further implications, especially also for the starting phase after the new law will have been enacted.
