Abstract
Taking a sociocognitive approach, the aims of our research were to identify the links between Psychosocial variables and the international professional mobility of Moroccan and Congolese executives, and to examine the extent to which this desire can be explained by a hypothetical model, setting the explanatory psychosocial variables and the explained variable in a nomological space. The investigation was conducted through a set of questionnaires completed by 63 Congolese and 128 Moroccan executives. The results identify the executives who are satisfied with their present career and their life in general and who believe in the advantages of a national career, and those who express a desire for change and believe in the advantages of an international career. The former aspire to a sedentary life, while the latter show a tendency towards mobility. The discussion underlines the relevance of this sociocognitive approach and method based on nomological space to explain these results. It also raises management issues regarding the international mobility of African executives in a context of accelerated globalization.
