Job Satisfaction and Workplace Stress among Employees working in Organisations

Abstract

Job satisfaction is without a doubt one of the most extensively researched issues in organisational psychology, as well as in the larger area of industrial/organisational psychology. The effect that occupational stress has on society as a whole makes it significant as well. A person who is under continual stress at work is unlikely to perform well in their other duties, such as partners, parents, neighbours, and community members. Ineffectiveness in these jobs may not have immediate financial implications, but it may, over time, have a profoundly detrimental influence on society. Hence, the effects of occupational stress on people, organisations, and society as a whole are significant and genuine. The results demonstrated a negative relation between workplace stress and job satisfaction (-.181). It also depicted a significant correlation between workplace stress and operating conditions (-.319**).
