The aim of the project was to research the social functioning of labour migrants in the culture of the host country. We were interested in showing the relationship between the time-frame of migration and the dimensions of socio-cultural adaptation. The study was conducted on a N=105 sample of Poles working abroad. A link to an online questionnaire was sent to those who had worked abroad during the study. The subjects were Poles who migrated to various countries in Western Europe. The research was of a quantitative-qualitative nature. The tools used in the study included a measure of Job Satisfaction, a Core Self Evaluation Score, and a questionnaire assessing work abroad. The qualitative part of the study included questions about motivation and the socio-cultural effects of migration. The quantitative data has been analysed for statistically significant differences depending on the time frame of migration. The qualitative part was analysed in the paradigm of Grounded Theory. The results show the impact of migration time frame on identity construction.
