The present study assessed the relationship of Perceived Overqualification, Job
Satisfaction, Somatization and Job Stress of MNC executives. The samples
constituted of 52 executives who were randomly selected from different Multinational
Companies. Perceived Overqualification Questionnaire developed by Khan and
Morrow, Job Satisfaction Scale by Gayathridevi and Velayudhan, Somatization
checklist by Derogatis, Lipman, Rickels, Uhlenhuth, and Covi, Work Place Stress
Scale developed by Martin Company and American Institute of Stress were the
tools used for the assessment. It has been inferred from the statistical analysis that
Perceived Overqualification was found to be negatively related to Job Satisfaction.
But Perceived Overqualification was not found to have any relationship either with
Health Status or the Job Stress of the Executives. The study finds that women
executives’ experience more Job Stress than men, but men report poor Health
Status than women
