The aim of this review paper is to present an innovative idea to explore the role of different types of decision making style in mental health of managers. In present time of positive psychology much emphasis is being given in promoting and enhancing the mental health of individuals and it can be also seen in organizations which in turn lead to the proper functioning of organization. There are many studies in which decision making style has been taken as an antecedents and consequences. It has been considered as an antecedent for academic performance among students and taking health care and consequences of different types of mental illness but there is a lack of studies related to the determining role of different types of decision making style in promoting the mental health of managers. So this paper is an attempt to present the base and rationale to examine the role of different types of decision making style indetermining and promoting the mental health of managers. Findings of this study would help the organizations in designing better training models for those decision making styles that are found to be positively correlated with mental health. So in future there is a need for conducting empirical studies related to the decision making styles and mental health.Keywords

In modern competitive organizations, job satisfaction is an important psychological attribute that may play crucial role in organizational effectiveness and employees' well-being. Locus of control as a personality variable and stressful life events are causally implicated in a variety of unenviable effects on our performance and health. The present study was conducted on 210 managerial personnel in private sector organizations in India. The results of correlation coefficients indicate that person positive was found to be significantly positively correlated with satisfaction (job & total). Job positive was found to be significantly positively correlated with satisfaction (management & total) and locus of control (external) was found to be significantly negatively correlated with satisfaction (management & total). Results of stepwise multiple regression analysis indicate that person positive (dimension of positive life events stress) emerges as predictor for satisfaction (job & total) and job positive (dimension of positive life events stress) emerge as predictor for satisfaction (management) while locus of control (external) emerge as predictor for satisfaction (management & total) The finding of this study will help in ameliorating the job satisfaction which helps to revamp the employees' performance and aggrandize the organizational productivity.Keywords
