Abstract: This paper suggests whether the academic staff can migrate successfully between academic institutions depends not only on the academic distance between academic institutions, but also on the positionof academic institutions in the transnational migration network. Then based on the transnational migration data ofTYTP candidates in information science, this paper constructs a transnational migration network of academic personnel and uses the bilateral gravitational model and the Poisson regression analysis to reveal the factors of transnational migration of academic staff between academic institutions at the organizational level. The results show that, when the “Thousand Youth” migrate between academic institutions across nations, the academic distance between institutions directly affects whether the academic staff can migrate successfully. The closer the academic distance between academic institutions, the higher the probability of academic personnel migrating successfully. The higher the indegree of entry into the academic institutions, the higher the probability of academic personnel moving in. The higher the outdegree of out of the academic institutions, the higher the probability of academic personnel moving out.
