This study investigated the effects of organization‐based self‐esteem (OBSE) on managers' development in the face of challenging job experiences. Results indicated that OBSE moderated relationships between specific types of challenges and development outcomes in the hypothesized direction: those with low OBSE were more sensitive to challenging job components than those with high OBSE. The theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed. © 2000 Jossey‐Bass, A Publishing Unit of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
