ABSTRACT
This study’s goal was to investigate the connection between life satisfaction and social support and self-esteem in people from different work sectors, namely the business and service classes. The study aimed to investigate the variations in contentment with life, self-worth, and social support levels among different groups and examine the relationships among these factors. Using a non-probability sampling technique, the study’s final sample size consisted of 200 people who were split equally between the two job categories. The results demonstrated that the commercial and service classes differed significantly in terms of life satisfaction, self-worth, and social support. People in the business class reported higher levels of life happiness, self-esteem, and social support than those in the service class. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between life satisfaction and self-esteem and social support, suggesting that higher levels of these variables were linked to higher levels of life satisfaction. Consequently, this research contributes to our understanding of the factors influencing life satisfaction and highlights the need of considering the labour market, an individual’s sense of self-worth, and social support when developing interventions aimed at enhancing general welfare.
