SUMMARY:Maria Kramer, “A Transactional Stress Theory of International Travel Dem
ands: A Challenge, Hindrance, or Both?”
DESCRIPTION:\n\nBased on transactional stress theory\, Dr. Kraimer and h
er co-authors argue that international travel demands may have both posi
tive and negative consequences for global employees. They identify three
moderators to explain when international travel demands will positively
relate to appraisals that global work is hindering versus challenging.
Hindrance appraisals are proposed to positively relate to employee burno
ut and work-family conflict\, whereas\, challenge appraisals are propose
d to positively relate to thriving and work-family enrichment. They test
ed the hypothesized conditional indirect effects between international t
ravel demands and these outcomes with a matched sample global employees
and their spouses. They found that international travel demands positive
ly related to spouse ratings of burnout and work-family conflict. Intern
ational travel demands positively related to employee thriving through c
hallenge appraisals when employees experienced fewer nonwork disruption
demands. These findings contribute to our understanding of how employees
may react to international travel and to the transactional theory of st
ress by identifying moderators that impact challenge and hindrance appra
isals.\n\nDr. Maria L. Kraimer is a professor of human resource manageme
nt in the School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers University
. She received her doctorate in human resources management from the Univ
ersity of Illinois at Chicago. Her research addresses issues related to
the challenges and consequences of working globally\, predictors of care
er success\, and the employee-employer relationship.\n\nFor more details
