"Russia’s war against Ukraine has forced millions to leave their country. Although Ukrainian refugees were immediately entitled to access labor markets within the European Union, employment rates remained moderate in many European countries one year after the outbreak of war. This article investigates the underexplored question of how unemployed Ukrainian refugees in Germany envisioned their professional future early after arrival, how they experienced institutionalized requirements, and how the two interact. We identify four behavioral Patterns - career orientation, impatience, hesitancy and overstrain - and capture nuanced differences in work intentions and institutional experiences. Our findings reveal unintended negative consequences of one-size-fits-all policies and invite complexity thinking both politically and scientifically."
