The present study was conducted on 210 managerial personnel working in different private sector organizations. The purpose of the study was to examine the role of life events stress and work culture on job satisfaction. The statistics employed are Mean, Standard Deviation, t-test and bivariate correlation. The results of bivariate correlation indicate that job positive and total positive stress are positively correlated with satisfaction with management and overall satisfaction (job and management), whereas personal positive stress is significantly positively correlated with overall satisfaction. Results of t-test indicate that there is significant mean difference in satisfaction with job, satisfaction with management and overall satisfaction between high and low job positive stress, personal positive stress and total positive stress. The difference is found significant for satisfaction with management in the case of high and low work culture, namely, obligations towards others.
