520 |a The present study is focused on the impact of overeducation on employee well being. Overeducation is a phenomenon resulting in the possession of more qualification by employees than required by the job. It results in under fulfilled expectation of employees with respect to their occupational attainments. Instances of voluntary overeducation were also found due to the presence of certain job attributes which affect the individual utility levels. Since contradictory findings exist with regard to the consequence of overeducation a research gap has been identified and the present study attempts to measure the job satisfaction of overeducated employees in Kerala and its impact on employee well being. The findings show that overeduation has not made much impact on the well being of employees as they are being compensated through the factors both internal and external to their job.The consequence of overeducation has been found to be more severe when it is subjective. The employees in fact get contented with what they receive and try to derive satisfaction out of it considering the different aspects of the job. The influence of certain other factors was also explored.
