A purposive sampling method was used to draw 256 participants comprising of 101 (39.5%) military and 155 (60.5) civilian personnel who completed structured psychological tests. Multiple regression and independent t test were used to analyse the data collected. The result showed that all the four dimensions of pay satisfaction which are (pay level, benefit, raise, and pay structure) jointly accounted for 16.7% of the total variation in work engagement. It is only one of the four dimensions of pay satisfaction (pay structure) that showed independent significant prediction of work engagement. Military personnel did not significantly manifest higher level of work engagement than civilian personnel. The implications of the result were discussed in line with management and sustainability of employment relationships in the world of work.
A number of studies have been done on work related stress factors in association with job satisfaction. However, there is dearth of studies on marital stress, which is a non-work related stress. This study therefore examines possible relationships between marital stress and employees' job satisfaction. A crosssectional survey utilizing an ex-post facto design was adopted in which purposive sampling technique was used for the selection of 220 hotel employees consisting of 113 (51%) male and 107 (49%) female. Participants completed structured psychological scales which are Marital Stress Inventory and Job Satisfaction Survey. Data was analysed using statistical methods of Pearson correlation and t-test for independent samples. There existed significant relationship between marital stress and job satisfaction. The result further showed that employees with live-in relatives experienced significantly higher job satisfaction than those who do not have live-in relatives. This study suggested the importance of the interface between work life domain and non-work life domain of the employees.
