Cover Story: Work occupies most adult men’s waking time. Satisfaction with work has wide-ranging impacts, including on male workers’ psychological health. Though the link between job satisfaction and psychological health is well documented, little is known about how job satisfaction affects male workers’ mental health. Work is known to contribute to men’s sense of meaning in life, positioning meaning in life as a possible conduit through which job satisfaction might impact men’s psychological health. Our findings revealed that men with lower job satisfaction were more likely to report reduced meaning in life, which in turn was related to increased psychological distress. These results highlight the need for organizations to help their male employees to find satisfaction with their work in order to lever happier, more engaged and productive workers. View this paper
