The Pearson correlation showed that religious health (r = 0.244, P = 0.014), existential health (r = 0.248, P = 0.013), and spiritual health (r = 0.207, P = 0.039) were positively related to job satisfaction in the domain of occupation type. There was no significant correlation between spiritual health and job stress (P>0.05). Conclusion: Higher spiritual health may be associated with greater job satisfaction in the type of job.
