ABSTRACT
This study investigates the relationship between job satisfaction and stress among workers in gold jewellery shops in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Using a sample of 49 participants aged 20-35, data were gathered through the Perceived Stress Scale and a Job Satisfaction Survey. The results indicate no statistically significant correlation between stress and job satisfaction (r = -0.221, p = 0.128). This finding suggests that, in this sample, stress levels do not directly impact job satisfaction. Despite the well- documented association between work-related stress and job dissatisfaction in other studies, this research found that stress did not play a significant role in determining job satisfaction among jewellery workers. The lack of correlation may be due to other factors, such as health problems, poor work-life balance, or social issues, which could independently influence employee well-being and satisfaction. Given the complexity of job satisfaction, further studies should explore additional variables that may affect the overall workplace experience, including working conditions, career advancement opportunities, and management support. These findings highlight the need for a multifaceted approach when addressing job satisfaction and stress in this specific occupational context.
