 A Study of Mental Health & Job Satisfactions of Bank Employees in Jalgaon City

A mental healthy person will be physically and mentally fit at his workplace. Health
psychologist has long suspected that negative emotion can make us sick and positive emotion
can be beneficial. Every industry worker health is depending on workplace environments.
Research findings affirm potential health threatening effects of stress, anger, anxiety and worry
(Cohen and Rodriguez, 1995). Mental health issues are among the most important contributor to
the universal burden of disease and disability. Mental health describes either a level of cognitive
and emotional well being or an absence of a mental illness. Mental health may include an
individual ability to enjoy life and procure balance between life activities.

“Mental health is the capacity of the individual the group and environment to interact with one
another ways that promote subjective well being.

REVIEW OF THE STUDY

Many correlational studies have shown a link between health and job satisfaction. Researchers
have reported significant correlations between job satisfaction and physical or psychosomatic
symptoms, such as, headache and upset stomach (Begley and Czajka, 1993; Fox et al., 1992; Lee
et al., 1990; O'Driscoll and Beehr, 1994). Job satisfaction has also been found to be associated
with emotional states of anxiety (Spector et al., 1988) and depression (Bluen et al., 1990;
Schaubroeck et al., 1992). Faragher et al. (2005), in their Meta analysis the relationship between
job satisfaction and health, conducted a systematic review of 485 studies with a combined
sample size of 267995 subjects. They evaluated the research evidence that linked self-report
measures of job satisfaction to measures of physical and well-being. The results indicated that
the overall correlation combined across all health measures was r = 0.312 (0.370 after Schmidt-
Hunter adjustments). job satisfaction was most strongly associated with mental/psychological
problems; the strongest relationships were found for burnout (corrected r = 0.478), self-esteem (r
= 0.429), depression (r = 0.428) and anxiety (r = 0.420). The relationships found suggest that job
satisfaction level is an important factor influencing the psychological health of workers.

Low job satisfaction could lead to increased staff turnover and levels of absenteeism, which
could reduce the efficiency of health services. Surveys on job satisfaction have been performed
in various health care settings, including mental health services, especially in recent years.
(Antonella Gigantesco and at el, 2003). Low levels of job satisfaction and high rates of burnout
and attrition are common among behavioral health providers serving challenging patient
populations (Bingham, Valenstein, Blow& Alexander, 2002; Bingham, C.R., Valenstein, M.,
Blow, F.C., & Alexander, J.A.., 2002). Job satisfaction is so important in that its absence often
leads to lethargy and reduced organizational commitment (Levinson, 1997, Moser, 1997). Lack
of job satisfaction is a predictor of quitting a job (Alexander, Litchtenstein and Hellmann, 1997;
Jamal, 1997).

 A Study of Mental Health & Job Satisfactions of Bank Employees in Jalgaon City

To date, economists have concentrated primarily on analyzing the determinants of job

satisfaction, which are influenced by many personal facets including gender (Clark, 1997; Clark
and Oswald, 1996; Sousa-Poza and Sousa Poza, 2000a), age (Clark et al., 1995), education
(Clark and Oswald, 1996; Tsang et al., 1991), as well as workplace characteristics, employment
conditions, and career perspectives (for an overview, see Sousa-Poza and Sousa- Poza, 2000b).

In contrast, the relationship between job satisfaction and health has been extensively studied by
health scientists and organizational psychologists. For example, one comprehensive meta-
analysis of 485 predominantly cross-sectional studies with mostly small sample sizes (although
with a combined sample size of 267,995 individuals) based on self report measures of both job
satisfaction and health show an overall (simple) correlation across all health measures of 0.312
(Faragher et al., 2005). Even though this analysis shows a strong correlation between job
satisfaction and psychological problems like burnout (ρ = 0.478), self-esteem issues (ρ = 0.429),
depression (ρ = 0.428), and anxiety (ρ = 0.420); correlations with subjective evaluations of
physical illness are much smaller (ρ = 0.287). Attempts to reveal a relationship between more
objective measures of physical health and job satisfaction have been less fruitful (Spector, 1997,
p. 67).
