Abstract
The increasing economic interdependence of nations and cultures is reflected in grow ing international trade, multinational corporations, and other international business partnerships. There is a growing concern over whether United States business prac tices and management theories are appropriate for non-U.S. management theory explaining the relationship between worker satisfaction and supervisory behavior in two countries, namely, Spain and Mexico. Survey data were collected in the three countries and analyzed via confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis. The results provided favorable support for strong applicability of U.S. theory to Spain and partial applicability to Mexico.
