The proliferation of roles that the doctors have to undertake leads to stress which has become an inherent feature of their work life thereby affecting their job satisfaction. The various aspects of the working life of doctors prompted the researcher to conduct study on their Quality of Working Life (QWL) and its impact on their Job Satisfaction. The objective of the study was to find out those dimension(s) of QWL that has/have greater influence on the Job Satisfaction of clinical doctors. A convenience sampling of clinical doctors (N=154) was drawn due to their busy schedules. For the purpose of data collection, Quality of Work Life Scale by Sinha and Sayeed (1981) was adopted with a Chronbach's reliability of.899; Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, (MSQ) short form developed by Weiss, Dawis, England and Lofquist (1977) with a Chronbach's reliability of.910 was used. The stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed Supervisory Relationship, Economic Benefits and Self Respect and Dignity to be the strong QWL predictors of Intrinsic, Extrinsic and General Job Satisfaction. The implications of these findings are discussed.
