Abstract

This study was an attempt to investigate the predictive relationship between psychological wellbeing, its 6 dimensions and job satisfaction in a purposive sample of 250 (125 male, 125 female) adults of ages between 35-45 years. The sample belonged to a number of professions (like doctors, teachers, bankers etc.). Psychological wellbeing scale (Ryff et al., 1995) and generic job satisfaction scale (Mcdonald et al., 1997) were administered on the sample. Pearson product moment correlation scores indicate that correlation between job satisfaction and psychological wellbeing was not significant. Also the correlations between various dimensions of psychological wellbeing and job satisfaction were not significant, except for environmental mastery that has a significant positive predictive relationship with psychological wellbeing.

Keywords: Job satisfaction; Psychological wellbeing; Environmental Mastery.
