Abstract
Integrating activation theory with the challenge and hindrance stressor framework, we suggest that the job stressor of international business travel frequency has an inverted U-shaped relationship with career satisfaction in the context of international business travelers (IBT) but not international business commuters (IBCs). Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources model, we propose that IBTs’ job (supervisor and coworker support) and personal (cultural intelligence) resources alter the travel frequency-career satisfaction relationship. Results based on samples of 114 IBTs and 115 IBCs provide support for all hypotheses, except for the moderating effect of coworker support. Contributions to global employee research and practice are discussed.
