Abstract
High-level managers are often faced with challenging demands at work, and much of the managerial development literature has researched the responses to these challenges. We propose an extension to this research by investigating the influence of challenge-related and obstacle-related job demands on job search among a sample of U.S. managers and a sample of international managers. Specifically, we propose divergent relations with job search according to the type of job demands managers experience and also explore the mediating relationship of job satisfaction. Our study provides further insight into the complexities of managerial responsibilities and their behavioral outcomes.
