The study on work-life balance and job satisfaction among employees acknowledges the increasing importance of work-life balance in modern, high-speed, and demanding work environments. Organizations are recognizing the significance of creating a work environment that promotes work-life balance, due to the changing dynamics of work and personal life. This study explores the impact of work-life balance on job satisfaction among employees in the Saurashtra region. A descriptive research design was adopted using a structured questionnaire. Data was collected from 65 respondents through simple random sampling. The questionnaire showed high reliability with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.875. Statistical tools such as correlation analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used. Results indicated a strong positive relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction. Demographic factors like age, income, and occupation also influenced work-life balance. Employees with better work-life balance reported higher job satisfaction. The study highlights the need for supportive organizational policies. It offers practical insights for improving employee well-being and retention.
