The transportation sector in China plays a crucial role in the nation’s economy. This survey covered 708 valid transportation employees who worked in Beijing, China. This research aimed to investigate the employees’ perceptions and the factors affecting their job satisfaction towards work-life balance, mediated by job characteristics. 12 determinants were identified including fair compensation, opportunity for growth, work environment, supervisor support, justice and equality, reward and recognition, job security, autonomy and control, participation in decision-making, effective communication, professional respect and work challenge. This study was significant as the researchers found that all the determinants were supported in the research study.
