Abstract

This study examined the parallel multiple mediating effect of work-life balance and family support on the effect of the social worker compensation system on life satisfaction. The life satisfaction of social workers is the most fundamental factor that prevents impaired quality of life, turnover, and burnout among social workers. Moreover, to improve the life satisfaction of social workers, it is important to consider work-life balance and family support together. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between the compensation system, life satisfaction, work-life balance, and family support among 475 social workers, and the results were as follows: First, it was found that the social worker compensation system had a positive effect on the parameter work-life balance and family support. Second, it was found that the parameters of work-life balance and family support both had positive effects on life satisfaction. Finally, it was found that the compensation system of social workers had an indirect effect on life satisfaction through certain parameters. Both work-life balance and family support, which are parameters, showed indirect effects on the path from the compensation system to life satisfaction. With these results, this study provided basic data for service and policy establishment to improve the compensation system for social workers, and it lastly suggested directions for follow-up studies.
