“…Considerable research has examined the zero-order relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Rice, Near, and -Hunt (1980) reviewed 23 studies reporting more than 375 statistical relationships between some measure of job satisfaction and some measure of either satisfaction with life overall or satisfaction with a specific facet of life (e.g., satisfaction with marriage, family, or leisure time Rice et al review (e.g., Bamundo & Kopelman, 1980;Chacko, 1983;Schmitt & Bedeian, 1982;Schmitt & Mellon, 1980 Moderators other than gender were considered in only four studies identified by Rice et al (1980). Subsequent to the Rice et al review, Bamundo and Kopelman (1980) provided a fifth study of this type.…”

“…Job can contribute to life satisfaction by providing income, a sense of identity, and a network of supportive relationships, to name a few. Life, on the other hand, can contribute to job satisfaction by providing strong family support, emotional stability, and social intelligence, to name a few [6] [35].…”

Organizational literature has demonstrated remarkable attention to the relationship between job and life satisfaction. Approaching the relationship between job and life satisfaction from an attitudinal perspective, the present study was conducted to examine the relationship between job and life satisfaction in Southern Saudi Arabia. It also aimed to investigate the contribution of demographic and socioeconomic variables in predicting job and life satisfaction. The results of Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between job and life satisfaction, even after controlling for demographic and socioeconomic variables. The results also suggested that job satisfaction and life satisfaction were positively and reciprocally related. Having controlled for demographic and socioeconomic variables, the age variable was uniquely predicted job satisfaction. Additionally, Tukey's post-hoc test showed that participants whose age ranged from 40 to 50 were more satisfied with their jobs (M = 3.73; SD = 0.35) than those from 18 to 28 and from 29 to 39. That is, older employees were more satisfied with their jobs than younger employees.

“…Employees who are unhappy at work often spend time worrying and thinking about their work problems both during and outside work hours, inadvertently affecting their mental well-being as well as the quality of time spent with their family. Supporting this line of reasoning, Rice, Near, and Hunt (1980) reviewed 23 studies and found that job satisfaction was consistently related to life satisfaction. In a 12-year longitudinal study, Rogers and May (2003) also reported that job satisfaction and quality of marriage were related over time.…”

This article develops a theoretical model of the impact of workplace incivility on employees' occupational and psychological well-being. In Study 1, the authors tested the model on 1,158 employees, finding that satisfaction with work and supervisors, as well as mental health, partially mediated effects of personal incivility on turnover intentions and physical health; this process did not vary by gender. Study 2 crossvalidated and extended these results on an independent sample of 271 employees, showing negative effects of workgroup incivility that emerged over and above the impact of personal incivility. In both studies, all results held while controlling for general job stress. Implications for organizational science and practice are discussed.
