Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between Quality of Life QOL, Job Satisfaction JOS, and Perceived Stress PS among bank employees. A sample of 150 participants from Kozhikode district of Kerala was selected. The study utilized the Quality of Life questionnaire developed by the World Health Organization, the Index of Job Satisfaction by Cathy King Pike and Walter W. Hudson, and the Perceived Stress Scale by Sheldon Cohen, Tom Kamarck, and Robin Mermelstein. The results revealed a significant relationship between QOL, JOS, and PS. Gender differences were observed in QOL, JOS, and PS. Work experience showed a significant difference in JOS but not in QOL and PS. The study concludes that PS influences QOL but not JOS.
