| Abstract: Employee satisfaction and work–life balance have emerged as critical factors influencing employee well-being and organizational performance. Organizations increasingly recognize that employees who experience a balanced relationship between professional responsibilities and personal life demonstrate higher motivation, commitment, and productivity. The present study examines the relationship between work–life balance and employee satisfaction among employees working in a structured organizational environment. A descriptive research design was adopted and primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 102 employees. Statistical tools including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were applied to analyze the collected data. The findings reveal that work–life balance significantly influences employee satisfaction, while job stress negatively affects employee satisfaction. Employees who experience supportive working conditions and adequate personal time tend to report higher levels of job satisfaction. The study highlights the importance of organizational practices that support employee well-being, flexible working arrangements, and stress management initiatives. The findings provide useful insights for managers and policymakers seeking to enhance employee satisfaction and organizational effectiveness. |
