The present study explored the extent to which job related factors and conditions in work environment affect the job satisfaction and motivation of the workers and further to what extent job satisfaction and motivation affect the physiological and psychological health. The total sample consisted of 15 Bank Managers and 15 College Lecturers. Satisfaction-Dissatisfaction Employees Inventories, Work Motivation Questionnaire and Psych-Physiological State Inventory were administered personally. Results reveal that persons in different work environment do not differ significantly in their total job satisfaction. Both the groups were found to be highly satisfied. The two groups do not differ on the "personal adjustment area" either. Results also indicate that bank employees show better social relation and are also significantly on higher side on the variable of work motivation. The two groups do not differ on the variable of physical and psychological health. It was found that job satisfaction has a significant impact on overall health, physiological health and on psychological health of employees. The present research emphasizes the need for intervention programmes in organizations and institutions to create awareness about importance of satisfactory work management as a major contributing factor in maintaining positive physical and mental health.
