Abstract: The present study is an attempt to assess the association between job satisfaction and some personal attributes (e.g. age, marital status, number of dependants, educational attainment, skill level, nature of employment, experience, and monthly additional income) of the industrial workers of Nepal. Data were collected from a sample of 372 textile workers. The results of the study reveal that there is a positive association of job satisfaction with age, skill, permanent employment status, experience and workers' large additional income. However, the marital status and number of dependants has been found to be negatively associated with the job satisfaction of the industrial workers. Further, no definite association was observed between education and job satisfaction.
