Abstract
- A review of the theoretical, methodological, and empirical literature on the job satisfaction-life satisfaction (JSLS) relationship was conducted. Recent research has been characterized by the overuse of repeated confirmation of the spillover hypothesis, which states that job and life satisfaction influence one another. The research until 1980 provided empirical support for the spillover hypothesis, but it offered no theoretical position to support the relationship between job and life satisfaction. A study was conducted to summarize and integrate the results of post-1980 JSLS studies by examining 33 studies in 26 journals. The results indicated that there was strong support for the spillover hypothesis.
