Abstract: This study explores the relationships between job demands, social support, coping strategies, and work-life balance among educators, emphasizing the importance of a healthy work environment in mitigating stress and enhancing job satisfaction. Utilizing a quantitative methodology, data were collected from 350 educators across various public and private institutions through structured questionnaires. The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between job demands and work-life balance (H1), indicating that higher job demands correspond to lower perceived work-life balance. Conversely, a positive relationship between social support and job satisfaction was confirmed (H2), demonstrating that educators with strong support networks report greater job satisfaction. Furthermore, the effectiveness of coping strategies was found to negatively correlate with burnout levels (H3), suggesting that educators who employ effective coping mechanisms experience lower burnout and higher resilience. These insights underscore the critical need for interventions that promote social support and coping strategies to improve educators' well-being and effectiveness in their roles.
