Empirical analysis shows that the balance of work and family, work and leisure, and work-growth among the balance components of work-life have a significant effect on job satisfaction. It was also confirmed that the quality of life plays a mediating role in the relationship between work-life balance detail factors and job satisfaction. This study analyzed the detailed factors of work-life balance, job satisfaction, and quality-of-life relationship, and was meaningful in that it specifically identified the practical problems of work-life balance of beauty workers.
