Abstract: Present investigation is an attempt to study the effect of locus of control on the relationship between various role stressors and satisfaction with many off-the-job and on-the-job situations. 101 executives and engineers of an electricity generating and supplying company served as the sample of this study. Various role stressors were assessed with the help of Your Feelings About Your Role Scale. Satisfaction was assessed with help of S-D Employee’s Inventory. Locus of Control was measured by Rotter’s (1966) I-E Scale. Statistical analysis performed in terms of correlation coefficients, sub-group analysis, and moderated regression analysis indicate the locus of control has moderated the relationships between self-role distance and satisfaction with the job, self-role distance and satisfaction with on-the-job situations, self0roel distance and satisfaction as a whole, role ambiguity and satisfaction with the job, and role isolation and personal adjustment. The implications of the above findings in the industrial/organizational contexts are also discussed.
