Abstract
The study described here examined the impact of rewards and stress on job satisfaction. The study conceptualized stress as a mediator between rewards and job satisfaction. A purposive sample of 205 managers from the telecommunication sector of Pakistan was selected. These managers completed the Rewards Scale (Cameron, & Pierce, 1994), Job Satisfaction Scale (Oshagbemi, 1999) and Stress Scale (McVicar, 2003) to assess the constructs examined in the present study. Multiple/hierarchical regression analyses were used to test the hypothesized relationships among reward, stress and job satisfaction. The results revealed a positive and significant impact of rewards and a negative and significant impact of stress on job satisfaction. The results also supported the partial mediating role of stress in the relationship between rewards and job satisfaction. Implications of these findings for improving workplace environments are discussed and suggestions for future research are offered.
