Abstract
The Mach IV scale and the Index of Job Satisfaction were administered to 212 discount store executives. Female executives scored significantly higher on the Mach IV scale than male executives but not on job satisfaction. A significant negative correlation was observed between Machiavellianism and job satisfaction for the entire sample. Executives with lower Machiavellian scores tend to have higher job satisfaction.Keywords
