Socioeconomic changes and tough global competition have made employees find difficulty in balancing the two important areas of their life—work and family life. It has made them join those organizations that provide good Work-Life Balance (WLB) facilities. Employers too have identified WLB facilities as a tool to attract and retain the talent pool. Job satisfaction is the driving force for everyone to perform a job and stay in that organization. The present study aims to study the impact of WLB on job satisfaction of school teachers and also the impact of demographic variables like age, experience and qualifications of the school teachers in relation to their job satisfaction. Statistical tools like percentage, one-way ANOVA and linear regression are utilized for analysis.

 
 
 

Job satisfaction is the perception of an individual towards his job contents like pay, career growth, benefits, peer and superior support. Nahid (2012) has made a study on school teachers of Iran and found that emotional intelligence is associated with higher level of job satisfaction and there exists a positive correlation between job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

George et al. (2008) have studied about job satisfaction among urban secondary school teachers in Namibia and found that a significant correlation exists between levels of burnout and job satisfaction of school teachers.
