Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the factors that impact job satisfaction among millennial employees regarding work-life balance.

The study employs quantitative research methods and utilises Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to analyse data acquired from a convenience sample of 240 millennial employees. The proposed model includes latent variables representing work-life balance and job satisfaction, along with corresponding indicators.

The study suggests a considerable positive relationship between work-life balance factors such as managing leisure time, personal well-being, quality of work life, self-care management, stress management, and time management and job satisfaction among millennial employees.

The study concludes that a robust analysis of the relationships between the variables offers guidance for organisations seeking to improve employee job satisfaction and well-being in the context of work-life balance.

The study provides valuable insights for organisations looking to create supportive and fulfilling work environments for millennial employees, addressing the unique factors that contribute to their job satisfaction and work-life balance.
