A sample of N=50 was taken, (25-males, 25-females). Two scales were used for the study i.e. employee motivation schedule by A.K. Srivastava and life satisfaction scale by Hard Ojha. The results showed there was no correlation between employee motivation and life satisfaction of employees and there was no differentiation between men and women of employee motivation and life satisfaction. Implications of this research would be that the findings may be used to implement strategies for enhancing employee motivation and life satisfaction of employees.
