Friends, relatives, lovers, roommates, co-workers, and spouse all can serve as sources of social support. This research aims to examine the level of social support perceived by Indian expatriates’ working in Muscat. A total of 328 questionnaires was distributed to Indian expatriates who are currently working in Muscat. A sample of 320 returned-questionnaires was used for further analysis. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA to investigate the relationship of selected demographic variables like nature of work, salary, and respondents’ accommodation status and perceived social support from their family, friends and significant others. Independent sample t-test used to ascertain the significant differences between gender, family, friends and significant others. Findings reveal that the Indian expatriates perceived less social support from their family, friends and significant others. The study implicates that greater attention is required to design work settings in organizations for providing an effective support system to increase the comfortability of the employees for their better life.
