Abstract

This paper analyses the effects of inter-sender role

conflicts experienced by managers of International

Joint Ventures (IJVs) on their individual job satisfaction

and job stress. It then relates the level of

IJV managers’ job satisfaction and job stress to

the performance of the IJV. We empirically test

these relationships using data gathered through a

questionnaire survey carried out among general

managers of German-Indian joint ventures. The

findings show that managers experiencing a high

level of role conflict also report lower job satisfaction

and higher job stress of IJV managers. High

job stress of IJV managers is related low performance

of IJVs, while there is no statistically significant

relationship between IJV managers’ job

satisfaction and IJV performance. Thus, IJV managers’

job stress mediates the relation between intersender

role conflict and IJV performance. We discuss

the implications of these results for research

on, and the management of IJVs.
