Perfectionism and decision-making have been receiving attention in workplaces for many years. Perfectionism is considered a positive attribute of an employee. However, there is another side of perfectionism also, which can lead to severe mental and physical health problems. In the same way, decision-making is routine organizational practice, which is considered an essential

attribute of personality. Life satisfaction also indicates the apparent quality of life and indicates mental and physical health. It also shows how well people thrive. Working professionals can be described as individuals earning their living through employment. Such individuals generally value specific skills or degrees which help them perform specific tasks efficiently. Working professionals can be full-time, part-time, or self-employed. Some examples can be teachers, lawyers, doctors, designers, etc. The current study was intended to explore the relationship between perfectionism, decision-making, and life satisfaction among working professionals. The sample of this study is 40 working professionals between the age of 20-30 years. Standardized scales are used to measure perfectionism, decision-making, and life satisfaction. The results showed a significant positive correlation between life satisfaction and decision-making. Also, the study found a negative correlation between life satisfaction, decision-making & perfectionism. The outcomes of the current study will help employers and human resource management practices look for their employees' mental and physical health.
