Hope refers to a positive motivational psychological resource that accompanies clear goal identification and involves multiple pathways planning. Stress minimization and enhancement of job satisfaction are important issues faced by human resource management practitioners. There is dearth of literature concerning to the relationship of hope construct with stress and job satisfaction in Indian context. This study was conducted on a sample of 255 employees from four large private sector life insurance companies situated in the eastern region of India.

Results of this study demonstrate that hope is positively related to job satisfaction and hope is negatively related to stress symptoms.
