This study aims to examine the effect of job satisfaction on depression and the moderation effect of self-compassion among the working elderly. An online survey was conducted from October 13 to November 3, 2021, for elderly over 55 and collected 362 data from working elderly out of 612 respondents. For analysis, hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the moderation effect using the SPSS 25.0 program. The main results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that job satisfaction of the working elderly showed a negative effect on depression. In other words, the low job satisfaction of the working elderly leads to higher depression. Second, self-compassion showed a moderation effect in the relationship between job satisfaction and depression. It means that self-compassion regulates the negative effect of job satisfaction on depression of the working elderly. Therefore, when self-compassion is high, depression due to low job satisfaction is reduced. Based on these results, practical and policy suggestions for improving job satisfaction and depression of the working elderly and the importance of self-compassion as a positive psychological coping mechanism were suggested.
