Abstract
In organizations due to the competitive nature of the work environment and its significance job satisfaction is important regarding human resource management. The present study was conducted on 210 managerial personnel to examine the role of organizational role stress and social support in job satisfaction among managerial personnel. Obtained data was analyzed by using correlational and hierarchical regression analysis. The results of correlation coefficients indicate that social support (Person and Satisfaction) was significantly positively correlated with satisfaction (Job). Social support (satisfaction) was significantly positively correlated with satisfaction (Management and Total). Role overload was significantly negatively correlated with satisfaction (Management and Total). Role ambiguity was also found to be significantly negatively correlated with satisfaction (Management). Role conflict and role stress total were found significantly negatively correlated with satisfaction (Job, Management and Total). The results of hierarchical regression analysis support the results of correlational analysis. It can be concluded from the obtained results that reducing role stress and increasing social support (Satisfaction) at workplace can play a crucial and effective role in increasing job satisfaction among managers in the organizations.
