Understanding willingness to accept domestic relocation: the example of French managers

Abstract

This article explores managers’ willingness to accept domestic geographical mobility within the company for which they are currently working. We examine the influence of managers’ work attitudes and career orientations on their willingness to relocate, posing a number of questions concerning these variables. Elements of answers to these questions are sought through an empirical research study with a sample of 203 private sector French managers. The results are interpreted within a theoretical perspective. We conclude with practical suggestions for developing company policies to facilitate internal managerial mobility.
