Abstract/Summary

Abstract. The present study assumed the spillover model in proving the relationship between the work and nonwork domains. Specifically, the research aimed to determine whether job satisfaction is positively correlated with life satisfaction. The sample was comprised of 61 married branch managers of commercial banks within Metro Manila. Data was gathered through the use of three standardized tests, namely: the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) to measure job satisfaction, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) to measure life satisfaction, and the Marital Satisfaction Inventory for Filipino Couples (MSIFC) to measure marital satisfaction. Responses were analyzed by means of bivariate and partial correlation, using Pearson r. Certain personal and marital variables were controlled to find out their influence on the relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Results proved that job satisfaction is significantly and directly correlated with life satisfaction. When sex, age, and number of years living together were partialed out, their influence on the relationship was found to be negligible. However, when marital satisfaction was partialed out, it revealed a significant influence in the correlation. Thus, it can be postulated that marital satisfaction is a potential mediating factor in the relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction.
