This research examined the relationship between job satisfaction
and mental health among employees of an oil refinery in Iran. It was
hypothesized that global job satisfaction and its five components:
satisfaction with work, co-workers, pay, promotion, and supervision
have negative correlations with the nine mental disorders: somatization
(SOM), obsessive-compulsive (O-C), interpersonal sensitivity (I-S),
depression (DEP), anxiety (ANX), hostility (HOS), phobic anxiety
(PHOB), Paranoid ideation (PAR), and psychoticism (PSY). The JDI
and the SCL-90-R were used to measure overall job satisfaction and its
five components, and the nine mental disorders, respectively. The
sample consisted of 828 subjects selected by a multiphase random
method; 665 were regular employees and 163 were managers at
different levels. Results indicated that global job satisfaction and its
five components have negative correlations with the nine mental
disorders at P<0.01 level of significance. These correlation coefficients
have a range from -0.10 to -0.36 for regular employees and from -0.12
to -0.35 for managers. Only 8 correlation coefficients out of 108 did not
reach statistical significance at P<0.05 level. The multiple correlation
coefficients of the five job satisfaction facets and the nine mental
disorders have a range from 0.17 to 0.38 for regular employees and
from 0.34 to 0.45 for managers. All these multiple correlation
coefficients were significant at P<0.01.
