The present study aimed to investigate the relation between psychosocial stressors and life satisfaction for army personnel. The sample comprised 150 army personnel (75 Officer Ranks and 75 other ranks). The correlational analysis revealed that psychosocial stressors (total scores) as well as stressors in terms of strained interpersonal relationship, excessive responsibilities and health related problems, had a significant relation to life satisfaction for both army personnel of officer ranks as well as other ranks. Stress due to financial constraints, marriage as well as perceived threat was found to be related to low life satisfaction for army personnel of officer ranks only and adverse situation lead to the low satisfaction of army personnel of other ranks only.
