Abstract
This paper investigates an unexplored but very important concept, perceived personal worth, in organizational settings. Worth has been explored in the form of financial assets of a person. Drawing notions from emerging positive organizational behavior studies and developmental theory, this paper contributes to a holistic approach to perceived personal worth with outcome variables such as job satisfaction and organizational effectiveness. The relationship of the factor analytically derived dimensions of perceived personal worth with job satisfaction and organizational effectiveness was explored based on responses obtained from middle-level executives (N = 274) from five public sector banks in northern India. The results highlight the significant relationship between perceived personal worth and job satisfaction. Also, the personal worth was found associated with organizational effectiveness.
