Abstract: Abstract Chinese construction companies send more and more employees to other countries, those expatriate managers are working under high pressure. This study takes Job Demand-Control-Support (JDCS) model to investigate the impact of cultural shock on the working pressure of them. Data were collected from 116 expatriate managers. The conclusions are: (1) JDCS model can be applied to Chinese managers in international engineering industry; (2) cultural shock is positively related to working pressure and plays a moderating role. International Chinese engineering enterprises should pay more attention to cultural adjustment of managers working abroad, help them to manage cultural shock effectively and reduce the working pressure.
