Abstract
This study aimed to investigate associations between working hours, job tenure to job satisfaction and job related affective well-being. The study was a correlational design. Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and Job-related Affective Well-being Scale (JAWS) were used as measurements. 93 healthcare assistant participants completed the questionnaires. Results: There was a significant strong positive relationship between length in organisation to job-related affective well-being and job satisfaction. There were gender differences on job-related affective well-being, with males ranking higher on High Pleasurable Higher Arousal (HPHA) than females. Strong positive relationship between job-related affective well-being and job satisfaction was found. No correlations between working hours to job satisfaction and job-related affective well-being. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed. Author keywords: Job satisfaction, job tenure, working hours
