Locus of Control and Role Stress as Predictors of Job Satisfaction: A comparative study of Public and Private Banks
Abstract
This Paper is an attempt to analyze the effect of locus of control and role stress on job satisfaction. The reviews on role stress show that role stress reduces the job satisfaction. The impact of locus of control on job satisfaction of workers differs according to the degree of locus of control. Through this study we have tried to establish a basis on which organizations can design their hierarchy in a way so that employees may not face the problem of role stress and achieve job satisfaction and good productivity. An attemot has been made to define locus of control. The study shows that if an employee has an internal locus of control, he can perform better as compared to employees who have external locus of control. We have taken 263 employees of different service organizations situated in Gwalior region as a sample size. Their views helped us to draw an inference and measure the effect of independent variables on dependent variables. The research aims at finding out the impact of Locus of Control and Role Stress on the Job Satifaction in Private and Public banks in Gwalior Region.
