Job satisfaction could simply be defined as how employees feel about their jobs. However, although it is simple to term, realistically job satisfaction is hard and very challenging to be fulfilled. Continuous efforts are being placed by organizations to ensure their employees are content by moving towards more humanistic approach in dealing with them and identifying roles of workers' life than just the hours they spend in office. Although many factors have been identified as the key determinants to job satisfaction, examining satisfaction with the job as a part of life satisfaction that can only happen if employees can create a balance in their work and personal life is least studied. Thus, in view of the importance of work-life balance, we studied its role as an antecedent to job satisfaction. A survey was conducted among 205 management staff at healthcare organizations and they were asked to rate series of statements that range from their personal view of workplace culture, social support and motivation. Based on the hypothesis testing, it was found workplace culture, social support and motivation determine how employees feel about their job. The results of the study verify it is vital for organizations to critically reevaluate and improvise the firm's policy, process and standard operating procedure that encapsulate the balance between employees' work and hours outside the workplace. For future research we suggest to add more dimensions of work-life balance and to widen the group of the population for more rigorous findings.
