Abstract
The present study examined the life orientation, health and personality traits among organized retail sector men and women employees. The study was conducted on 275 organized retail sales persons from Mumbai and its suburbs. The participants were studied using The Life Orientation Test – Revised (LOT-R), Multidimensional Health Profile-Psychosocial Functioning (MHP-P) and NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI 3). The data were analyzed in terms of the independent-samples t-test and coefficients of correlation. The women employees found higher on global stress, anxious affect and reported more somatic complaints than men employees. The results obtained in this study revealed that there is no difference on optimism among organized retail men and women employees. There is no significant difference found between men and women sales employees on neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness.
