Abstract
This paper explores the antecedents of work-life balance and its relationship with job and life satisfaction. A proposed hypothesized model is advanced to examine the direct and indirect relationships between core self-evaluations, workload, and perceived organizational support with work-life balance and job satisfaction, in return, between work-life balance and job satisfaction with life satisfaction. The model is tested empirically using data gathered from a survey completed by 146 telecommuting Saudi workers. Results reveal a positive relationship between core self-evaluations and perceived organizational support and work-life balance and a negative relationship between quantitative workload with work-life balance. Also, job satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between work-life balance and life satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature on work-life balance, and satisfaction by showing how work-life balance and job satisfaction can play mediator roles respectively between the path of personality traits and of work condition to job satisfaction and between the path of work-life balance to life satisfaction. These findings are discussed and the implications for theory and practice are presented.
