Relationship between Death Anxiety, Stress and Job Satisfaction among Employees

A rising amount of research on occupational behavior and well-being has identified job stress as one of the most well-known medical concerns in numerous associations. Like concern about anything else, anxiety related to dying is common. Although it would not seem like it, death anxiety is a useful personality trait in the workplace, according to recent research (Sliter et al., 2014). And these two have a direct impact on job satisfaction, or how satisfied one is at work. This served as the basis for an attempt to examine their relationships. A sample of 150 persons was gathered in order to investigate the relationship between stress, job satisfaction, and death anxiety using the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, 1983), the Job Satisfaction Scale (Macdonald & Macintyre, 1997), and the Death Anxiety Scale (Dhar et al., 1991). The correlation analysis was done for finding out the significance value of the variables and the relation among all the variables were calculated . It was found that Job satisfaction is negatively correlated to death anxiety. When Job satisfaction increases, death anxiety tends to decrease, and vice versa. Death anxiety is linked to stress in a positive way. When stress levels rise, death anxiety rises as well, and vice versa. Stress, like death anxiety, has a negative impact on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction tends to decline as stress levels rise, and vice versa.
