Stress has always been a part of human existence. In the context of stress, organisational stress has been of great concern to the management, employees, and other stake holders of the organisation. One widely investigated research focus with relatively less semantic confusion pertains to the study of the impact of role stressors in organisations. The current study examined with relationship of different organizational role stressors with a positive parameter referring to life satisfaction. 400 female police personnel completed Pareek's organizational role stress scale and Alam and Srivastava's life satisfaction scale. The correlational results revealed the relevance of perceived inter-role distance, role stagnation, role erosion, role overload, and self role distance in lowered life satisfaction.
