This study examines meaning of work, psychological availability, supportive supervisor relations, distributive justice and employee engagement in relation to job and life satisfaction. One hundred working adults, coming from different industrial and organizational settings, completed self report questionnaires. Results indicate that meaning of work, psychological availability and distributive justice has significant positive relationships with job satisfaction. Psychological availability has further shown a positive association with life satisfaction. Employee engagement is found to be effective in moderating the relationship between psychological availability and life satisfaction; and that of distributive justice and job satisfaction. Implications, strengths and limitations of the study are discussed.
