Abstract
Nations differ in national means as well as intra-cultural variations (ICVs) of particular cognitions and behaviors. Au (1999) argued that means and ICVs have distinctive impacts on organizational phenomena cross-nationally. We tested whether this holds true for the individual-level relationship between intrinsic job rewards and job satisfaction. Multilevel analyses of data from 130,000 employees covering 46 countries suggest that national means and ICVs complement each other's impact on international business life.
