Abstract
An international study investigated 1065 senior and chief executives from 10 countries in terms of their mental health, job satisfaction and sources of job stress. It was found that executives from developing or rapidly changing societies were most ‘at risk’ of mental ill‐health and job dissatisfaction. Within‐country multiple regression analysis revealed that executives from the developed world suffered from a feeling of ‘lack of autonomy’, while those from the developing countries reflected more basic pressures of ‘work overload’, time pressures and deadlines, long working hours and, ultimately, the consequences of interpersonal difficulties with colleagues.
