Abstract: Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is increasingly recognized as a critical factor influencing employee job satisfaction and overall organizational performance. Employees often face challenges in balancing professional duties with personal responsibilities, which can lead to decreased motivation, lower productivity, and job dissatisfaction. This study explores the relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction among staff at University Technology MARA (UiTM) Kampus Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. Using a quantitative approach and data collected from 164 respondents, the findings indicate that flexible working hours, a positive social working environment, effective reward and recognition systems, and the management of job-related stress are significantly and positively correlated with job satisfaction. These results suggest that UiTM Seremban provides a supportive environment that promotes the integration of work and personal life. The study underscores the importance of implementing tailored work-life balance strategies to enhance employee satisfaction and foster organizational commitment.
